So I built a sweet little dirt landing ramp in the backyard, but would now like to build a mobile take-off ramp, so that I can move it further away etc.

So my question, as I'm 2 weeks old in bike riding...how should it look etc, any example pics? I have access to some pretty sweet wood working machines, just need to know how it should look.

Tx!

You should ride your local trails first and see what you like. It will give you ideas of how to build the perfect take off and landing. You just have to conform the jump to how your terrain allows for. If your looking for more urban jumps, try your local skate park.

This may be helpful for getting started. http://www.leelikesbikes.com/formulas-for-building-jumps.html Once you have built enough takeoffs and landers and >>ridden<< them, you will know how to build by eye.

Here watch the whole video.. The ending should show you how jumps are supposed to be built.. If not it's totally amazing to watch. These boys are sick!!
