I'm building a jump in my back yard mainly for just practicing like tricks and stuff since I can always go out to the trails to actualy ride. I only have enough room for one jump so i'm planning on make a nice kicker with a just a soft dirt/wood chip landing so its a big deal if I fall.
It will be right here:
the quarter will go on the opposite side of the sport court to drop in from and the kicker will go right where it is, the landing will be infront/on the grass with a burm right infront of the fence.
So pretty much like this except that the landing will be boarded in:

1) So say the kicker is going to be 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide. For that height, what is a good radius? I was thinking between 8-10 feet?
2) How long should the landing be (ie. what slope) and should it be the same height as the kicker or taller?
3) Is 8 feet wide enough for the landing (the qp in the picture above is 10 feet wide)?
thanks.
