Building a jump, need advice.

[Dale512]

Alright Im building an uphill jump and the launch is gonna be 7 feet long, 4 feet tall, and have a 30 degree angle. and I wanna know how far out and what kind of angle if any should my landing be take a look at the picture.

Im gonna build it in front and right below the shed, where those bricks are, so I'll be jumping in front of it, and remember its an uphill, I would make a downhill but thats out of the question.

So give me some advice, if you think I should change something about the launch to make the landing better then tell me, Im just getting a load or 2 of dirt in the dump truck so I dont have to dig it.

i dunno but i wanna hit it...lets turn your yard into a mx track :macho.....i wanna ride the c-dale again that things wickid...:p

[Dale512]

I wish I could turn my yard into a MX track.

just make it a down hill drop jump and make it a 60 footer lol.

[Dale512]

Anybody?

I know u said it was out of the question, but y. U would need a lot less dirt and it would still be just as fun, or u could make one down hill and one uphill.:devil

[250x#93]

I just built a jump on a slight down slope, saved alot of dirt:devil

[Dale512]

theres all kind of junk cars at the bottom. I think I have it figured out.....Im gonna make a 20-foot gap and make the landing just flat, but still open to suggestions

Remember, no downhill

[250x#93]

OH OK:devil Just use ur cars and junk as filler, my one freind has a table top with a car underneath it:devil

[Stevie-D]

just remember, the steeper the jump, the farther you go.:devil i found that out tonight. lol. im rebuilding a worn out double on my track, and i made the second jump of the double a jump itself. i hit it fast and flew probly 25 feet thinkin i would go like 5. whoo. what a rush. dang...im rambling again

[Nausty]

The steeper the jump the farther you go:huh

Keep in mind downhill jumps are really scary and pretty tech. Personally I think it would be funner to build it the other way so you have a raised landing and can hit the jump super fast and get tons of height and still have a soft landing. Have fun.

[quader400]

does the top of the hill level off cause if it did you could build a sweet step up.

[Dale512]

Nope it doesnt level off at all. I also think the uphill/stepup would be funner, but what Im worried about is the landing, I already know how the launch is gonna be build, but I need a guesstimate on about how far away the landing should be.

[quader400]

just put it some where you know you can make it and slowly move it back that is waht i did with all of my jumps

[derekhonda]

haha, gotta love paint

[Dale512]

Like the paint

I think Im just gonna hit the jump once at a decent rate and see where I land, and hope I dont get messed up and then put the landing like 2 or 3 feet closer so I can make it every time, Im gonna try to make the landing flat so I just kinda glide onto it.

[RoadkillerRyan]

glide onto it heh good luck
or glide into it:devil

[Dale512]

glide onto it heh good luck
or glide into it

that sounds about right
