dirt compound

[robson]

i am about to build/expand my compound and i am in the process of building a aus comp ramp, but i want to know how i should build the rest of my compound, like what are the dimensions of dirt doubles, triples and table tops which people know of of use themselves?? I want to know everything, length, width, height. i will be using my CR250. thanks

It all comes down to personal taste, your own skill level at the time and what your comfortable with, as in safety area's. The best thing about dirt, is you can just keep reshaping the curve till ya get it how ya want it. smooth, kicky, long, short. it all comes down to how ya want to throw yaself into the air. So, go with what your comfortable with. That goes for all measurements, but remember as you get better and wanna go bigger.......your downramps have to grow aswel, ya cant expect to use the same downramp for a 30ft jump as a 70ft downramp for your comp ramp, just wont work :D

But the shortest, sweetest answer i could give for dirt ramps is.......use all the dirt ya got, dont skimp, takes a lot of dirt to fill a decent downramp.

WORD THERE !! Thats a lot of drit...

I could add 1 thing tho - :D once your skills are up to scratch you could land on anything U like.. lol :) lill or big down ramp..

Skill... Mate Skill !! work up to it... it will happen !!

You get back what U put in .. :) Moto riden is so true of this..

As mongo says if you have it ( Dirt ) Use it.. All that you can .. :)

[robson]

thanks guys, i will put that into consideration.
how long do you recomend a run up?? i will have a berm, then a set of doubles (about 10 metres or so), and i need to know how far i can put my kicker. i am guessing about the same distance at the jump, but that is just guessing, doesn anyone have a REAL idea about this?? i know it all depends on my skill, but if i can some real specifications, that would be greatly appreaciated.

dirt doing to dirt wurx web site they do all the sx coures in the US that may help you out with sizes and any other stuff you may need to know dirtwurx Site :D (www.dirtwurx.com)

[armoss]

just dont hit a jump thats soft it really hurts hehehhe owell

[crustydemon_69]

usually the runup should be atleast the length of the jump, yeah.

but it does take a lot of skill to hit a decent jump with a small run like that

[redbull_fmx]

dude i recomend you make obstacles that you arnt that good ata nd it will help improve your skill and also put jumps in that you like but if you have a track of stuff that you are good at then you wont get any better so build some stuuf you arnt fast at

[robson]

sorry about that. hopefully this works...

yeah well. it is now holidays, and there is plenty of time to do some quality riding and jumoing. this is a simple diagram which will give you a rough idea of what i mean. oh, and i just got a new back tyre, which is good.

the real question is, WILL I MAKE IT???? lol.

[robson]

well this is where im up to with this jump. the landing is almost finished, but i wont be able to jump it till after christmas, due to other things happening and not being home. anyway, i decided to move the landing a bit closer, and i will post photos as soon as possible. this is how it actually looks now

[robson]

i live near goulburn. thats why it say i live in goulburn region. i could tell you exactly, but i dont want someone coming to my joint to steal my beautiful moto..... no offence

[robson]

well here is my jump that i finally have posted. it was my first go at it and well....... just have a look and see what happened. i think it quite funny though!

[METAL_MULISHA13]

ppfffffffftt.......that vid. is an absoloute pissa, i tell ya!!!!! :p:p:p

But u could have stuck with it if u jsut leant forward a lill or tap the rear brake, but hahahahahahahaha!!! sorry about my laughing but its bloody funny!!

[robson]

yeah, i know it is funny. its all good man. i was trying to get over the front of the bike and i did give the rear brake a go, but it didnt help at all.

[kyle]

ha ha robson, that was a classic, make the lip a lil taller and longer and hit the rear brake if it happens again and you will be fine, looks good though, top shit!.

[METAL_MULISHA13]

oh well, at the end of the day u know that u will get it perfect, s have u actually rode away from it yet??

[robson]

no, it was the forst and only time i have hit it. i have mad some modifications to the kicker, which includes moving it closer, but it still isnt right (as i have been at boarding school and my dad did it with the tractor) yeah well this arvo is the first day i have been home since 9th april... i will keep you posted on the 2nd run!

[METAL_MULISHA13]

k sounds good, so u have msn. add me mr_sexyboy13@hotmail.com excuse me about the name lol

[JAYKAY]

i reckon the downie needs to be steeper and the jump should be longer and less kicky so your get a smoother kick when hittin it.
