we didn't do much riding today, rather, we spent time getting ready for the HM trip next week. We did however take time to hit the new jump I built yesterday. Seems as if it it wide enough for a side by side pass.

the takeoff ramp is between 5&6 feet tall. It is no problem to clear the top. I wanted to make the landing ramp about another 10' away, but I ran short on dirt.

You're right 4punks, the kids are the cause, but we sure are having fun aren't we?! :)

I've been thinking about going to a little motocross track down the road, but to be honest, I'm a little scared of coming up short. I cased a little teenie jump and I learned real quick how someone can get their teeth knocked out by the bars! No damage to me, just my pride, I must have looked like a rag doll bouncing around!:D

I just stretched the landing about another 6'. I was fortunate enough to get one more load of dirt delivered. Quite frankly, I would like about 10 more loads to make things perfect.:D

are your kids jumping it yet or any other jumps you have and can they or have they tried any tricks yet? I have 5 year old twin boys and arron rides a xr50r and he saw me do a no footer today and i only jumped a few times to cool off then i went back to working in the shop and he keeped riding . well i guess about a hour went
by and the other twin (he does'nt ride) he said daddy you better come see this and i went out back about the time arron was fixing to hit the jump and he pulls a no footer like he has been doing them all his life , so i keeped watching and he does one every time now hehe i hope my wife don't find out.

Monkey see monkey do:D

Looking good 4punks!:) You need some dirt, come on over, so long as you dont mind taking some rocks out of it!:D Thats my problem I start moving dirt around then I got to take all the rocks out of the ramp, and landing then get more dirt to fill in the holes! The worst part is when all I find is BEDROCK.... I have a vein of it running though my track! I need to get the backhoe out there to fix it after the logging is done! My track prolly wont get finished till after the winter...grrr everything is taking so long, I am going to wait to get my 400, till after the snow is gone, then I will finish my track and make sure all my trails are A okay! I really do need to get out riding!

man..that is a cool jump...looks like so much fun, even though its not very big.....

you are lucky..youy have your own track in your back yard...i have a pool, some grass, a bunch of concrete, and 2 small sheds (one is just a tool shed and the other is a housing for the pool equipment and pump..its even got a bathroom, shower, and sink)

i guess thats what i get for living in the city...:mad:

where abouts? i have a so-so track (kinda tough to make a track when you're unemployed and dont have access to dirt, or construction machines) on my 6 acres of land in the Ocean county area. i also have some trails (not mine) that are okay. but still, i know exactly what you're talking about- NJ is probably the most anti-ORV state in the country
