water and compact it. you will have solid jumps don't ride them right after you build them. let them sit for a day or 2 cause you will screw them up if you ride them right after building them. i made some also you can cheat if you make them part of them with bricks=less dirt

well, where we are building them there is already a couple mounds of dirt, not good dirt, but ground dirt

use carpet strips on the lips so when you pack it down it does it a bit more evenly. make sure the landings are a bit higher then the launch too.. that way you can boost really big and get speed for the next set to flow threw. also make some good transfers and berms.. just get alot of people to help out.

hah, alot of people to help out..... thats a funny one.

everyone around here is too busy getting stizzled, or studying for school these days. also not many people have bmx bikes in this town. I think the best i can do is maybe 2 friends and a couple little kids Smash

i love dirt.. i've been riding since before i can remember, i was riding dirt before street was even popular.. i love flowing threw trails.. but street and park is where it's at. if building trails is THAT important.. make it happen but if its too much trouble just ride street and park. serioulsy.. flowing threw a park is just as exciting and way more possibilities

I was watching the AST Dew BMX Dirt, and they said that the jumps were part concrete.

see the thing about scotty is, he's extremely good.. but alot of hardcore bmxers don't like him because he's too good. my 3 roomates always hate on him.. personaly i think he's sick.. but they don't like him because his parents own a skatepark and all he does is ride all day and learn tricks into his foam pit. with that, you're gunna get for sure.. no work no school just riding as often and as much as you'd like. kinda gives you an unfair advantage (that's their arguement) which kind of makes since

imagine how good you'd be if your parents owned a skatepark and you could ride whenever you want for as long as you want...

or better yet..

Michael Manzer you got a good set up there. flat is one of the most under rated style of riding i think cause it is insane what some of those guys can do and the balance
