    Well the easiest way to think of it is, take a ruler or something straight that is flexable and just push it in the middle and thats what you want your take off to be like. I will try and get some pics up after 4, (I got a new digi camera, but I have to charge the batteries...). You want your take off to be a bit of a run, not real steep Good luck

    make the jump tall, and short in lenth. and the landing ramp should be short in height, and long in lenth. I'll have to get pics of my friends jump.

    ok ive been official "jump builder" for many of my friends jump (snowboarding, bmx, quads...ect) and if you dont know what your doing please dont make much lip or landing at first. make your jump flat hit it a bunch of times... then you will want to build up the jump a little more. then build a small landing.. repeat until you like the jump and feel comfortable. im not sure of your jumping skills but if its your first time jumping alot you dont just want to rush into it and make a big jump. ive seen many people do that and either they wont hit it becuase its to big or they hit it and get hurt because they dont have the experience.

    i dont feel like uploading pics to imagestation so just give me your e-mail and ill send you a pic of some of my jumps.
