well chit@#% no one gonna reply??
that is a real lot of dirt for a very small table top
lmao~ i gotta move all that dirt~ just got it dumped yesterday~ i'm trying to get my jump cut good~ i'm not even gonna have it a table top~ just gettin my launch jump cut good~ then cuttin the rest off and making the landing~
no tips?
Looks like good dirt, did you just dump that on the lawn?
The lip has a bit of a kink in it about 2/3 of the way up, it changes direction too quickly. That will buck you if you hit it with any kind of speed
yup i did~ is that bad? hope not :///
i see what your talking about~ i'll have to fix that~ thanx!
Its good as long as its your grass and you don't have to pedal though it.
Maybe you could make a hip from the side.
yup its my grass~ its a pretty awesome spot~ i'll take better pics once i get more done~ i have a long blacktop road i can get whatever run i want on it~ and its right at the beginning of my yard~ i'm going to make a straight rhythm trail straight down my yard towards the pool if you look straight at the jump~ you can see a smaller double by my pool~ it will be a while before i get the full trail done because i'm building it by myself~ but i'll get it done~ any tips i'm very thankful for~ ive tried to read up and study up trail building as much as possible~ so wish me luck~ thanx

Difficult to tell how tall it is from the pics. If it is 3 or 4 ft or taller, I'd carve it out a little more in the center of the transition with the top of the lip vertical or very close to it. Similar to a quarter pipe.
Remove all of the other dirt from the sides. Leave it only as wide as the smooth lip area you've got going. OR make it into a hip. Judging by the last pic, you've got enough area that you could add a second lip to the left of your existing lip. Carve it at about a 45 degree angle from the existing lip. More options = more fun.
