Building jumps
Okay, I'm going to be building a jump soon, nothing too big, only got a little bit of land and a limited supply of dirt. I was wondering if I make the jump 3 feet high, how long should it be? There will be about a 15 foot gap, then the landing. How long should the landing be. Is there any formula on how long it should be for how high it is? Thanks for any help.

Building jumps
well i build bike jumps all the time so i suppose it would be the same
first of all:
u need to make sure there will be enough distance b4 the lip so u can have enough speed to clear the gap
dont build a jump to big for ur abilities
make sure the landing is for sure wider then the lip, it doesnt have to be that much wider but still enough to get the point. it should also be at less of a pitch then the lip as well
if its in the woods, make sure there are no branches in the way (last jump i made, i got clipped by a low flying branch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]lol)
and make sure theres enough area to slow down after the lip
the jump can be any height u want it to be, the taller the lip and landing the higher u'll go, if u build foot tall lip u wont go very high so the hieght of ur jump will affect how much air u get.
when ur done building it make sure u pack the dirt good and dont have to much fun[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Just my 2 cents
