Hi... I'm a guy from Denmark and I'm making a projekt in School. I'm thinking about designing a dirt track to the bikers in my town, but i don't know how it should look... Can anyone please help me???

Thanks

If I was doing that I'd just draw a set of dirtjumps from a bird's eye perspective, make it two dimensional. Shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah... but I don't know how a track could look. I have never ridden a track nor seen one... I was hoping for some more help... Please???

well a pretty boring/standard setup is to take a roughly square section of land, and zigzag the track across it and back a couple of times with 180 degree banked corners on the ends.

At the beginning should be a hill to start from.

The local track has a hill, then a step up double, then a rythm section, then the corner, then a table, then a double, then the next corner, then two doubles, then a rythm section, then another corner, then a small double then a rythm section, then the finish.

But since you haven't seen one you probably can't really visualize that very well.

I'll try to find some pictures online.
