rythems. but it makes it sooo much better if you include berms and rollers/pumpers. they make the line soo much more flow if done right.

yeah, thats better, jumps out in the open are just jumps.

TRAILS work around natural obstacles and IMO are far better.

to some test digs for dirt quality, lack of roots rocks, space

for room from trees and drainage. no build in a pit.

through some pics up of the woods you find.

10 acres?! Lucky bastard!

Search some vids and try to stop by some trails if you have any near you. See what looks fun and what you might want to ride. If you can get a skid steer or a backhoe in there that will make thing go up a lot quicker.

BCD said it right - real trails flow around stuff and use what the woods have. Having a bunch of berms, rollers, transfers, and hips as well as straight rythym will make it really good. Always keep drainage in mind as well.

I found a quick vid of Minersville on YouTube that is worth a watch:

my jumps are in the woods. its baddass having to build a berm with a transfer hip because of a few oak trees. but for real woodland djs are way better than open field jumps. ill post some pics once i get outa school

One other benefit of having jumps in the woods is shade. My advice for ideas is start small, then get bigger. In other words, have your first jump be small and just keep getting bigger from there. Also, work around trees/ creeks. Instead of knocking them over, build a berm around them and then continue the jumps in an other direction. IMO, it's better to make the jumps different. Make the next jump different from the last one, it keeps things interesting and sometimes more challenging. Again, there are those who like cookie cutter jumps meaning they are all the same in one straight line. Something to toy around with. Please, post some pictures so we can see what your talking about.
