We moved here in January, and I definitely have been planning some dirt jumps for a while here, and I would love some outside opinions. Anyway, here are my plans:
1. Ladder drop-in or roll-in from about 8-10 feet up perched between these two trees and dropping at the property light pole.
2. The "Lane" that I have cleared for the jumps so far is approximately 114 feet long and 13 feet wide at it's narrowest section, which could make for a pretty big line. I am thinking between 13-18 foot doubles with some pretty steep lip and trannys, and have one side be a big line and another side be more mellow jumps. Also, I want to make a tabletop outside of the Main Line that will be about 15 feet with some descent lip for "warming-up" or for people who won't ride the big line.
3. Also, the "Lane" makes a small turn at the end so there could either be a berm at the end or a hip jump both ways. I am planning to clear out a little more on the end into the yard.
There is a lot more space for plenty of stuff to be built, but right now I am just in the planning stage. Any and all suggestions are welcome, and I will announce build days when I get the dirt, logs, and lumber at the house, hopefully by the end of August.
And here are some rough Panorama pics to give you an idea of the entire area we have to to work with. It's much bigger than it looks, and everything is shaded along with a very gentle slope from top to bottom.
