If you had any old logs, you could use them as a base and cover then with dirt.

^ what they said, but make sure its packed down secure, last thing you want is flying into a dirt jump and having your front end dig right into it... and then you go off the handle bars or your quad does many many flips :)

find some solid things to burry, and bodies don't work to good! j/k. and spend alot of time shoveling. and when your done, water it down, and let it set over night to make sure it's packed down!

^^yep. just bury some logs or blocks of cement or something. im makin a track in my woods and i just get the logs from on where the trail/track will be and use those for jumps. then just put dirt over and let it harden.

The easiest thing is like what was already said about logs and stuff. If you have any dirt mounds around you can put a jump at the top of it and alls you gotta do is make a lip where you wanna go off and then you might already have a landing if the mound is big enough.

If that doesnt help you then id just say get to work.

pretty much like everyone else is saying..dig and logs

i have the same problem...i only have a shovel, even worse the ground where i ride is only about a foot deep then all rock if you can get that far...i lay out logs in the shape of a jump, smalls sticks gradually getting to big logs...i have two jumps made this way and they work great
