how make a good jump
gonna take a shovel, lot o dirt.. but if you want a 10' jump or a jump that will thorow u 10' out?? 10' high? to though
10' high make it about 4ft high w/ a big lip
to make it to ghouth you 10' about 3-5ft high w/ no real lip.. and it it slow and work your way up you dont want it to tought you high just far unless u have a landing.. then it could hurt...
i have about a 5ft high jump and it thorows me about 15-25ft or so depends on how fast i hit it.. soon as it thaws im gonna work on the landing.. make a table-top type landing so i can land on a flat or make it on a incline.. works better for jumps were u can jump 10ft up to like 25ft or so.. makes it easer on the quad.. i think in my photos were are pix of my 10-15ft doulbe not my big one. it mibht be in the links in the info..

Me and a friend made mine out of dirt from a field, 2 shovels and a wheel barrow last year. It was a blast to jump and we got some air, but only short wheelbased qauds could jump it lol, blasters 300exs, the raptor youd have to pull the front end up right as you hti the jump, we could have made it longer lol.

Nothing wrong with building your own jumps. Its just that if you want something that big your going to need more than just man power. As for the jump itself. You want to make sure it has a nice smooth angle to it. Atv's don't like kicker jumps. It will rebound your rear end over your head before you even know what hit you. Good luck. I trick we used to do that worked good was put a 2' or so tall lip right at the top of a hill. Man, we'd really launch of those things.

lol, I think he meant a 10 foot gap, mostly because he said "nothing big" unless he's in the huevos movies. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Atv's can handle lips just not huge kickers, start small, learn how to jump first. Believe it or not, It's more than just launching your quad off a hill.

You will need a Machine! At least a Bobcat! A bobcat is only capable of moving 1/2 a yard of dirt per scoop. A bull dozer is way more practical but, a full day w/ a Bobcat could get you a few decent jumps.
Concentrate on the landing ramps!!!! Without good landing ramps you will only enjoy all your hard work on the jump a few times before your in the Hospital getting Screws in your knees and, ankles. You want a landing ramp on an angle that is at least the length of your quad and, should be more. Anything over 5 feet of air High of the jump is going to require a landing ramp of some sort to relieve the shock. Trust me i've hit a jump some kids made and, landed on flat ground from 6 ft or so in the air (not good). From even 5-6 feet you will case your quad and, could hurt your self.
