BMX - What to do with this DIRT!

I have an area down the street from my house like a 1 minute walk... i think it has a chance of being turned in to a fun little dirt course... here is some pictures... of the area, land, and jumps we jut built... .let me know what ideas you guys have.

There is various off trails... but i was thinking of using the big bowl area as a roll in build a small jump at the bottom use the hump leading to the banked run up for speed to hit the jumps i built... after them make a double that leads back to the dirt bowl so you can go around it and back in to the run up again.


any ideas... remsmber NJ shore is sandy... its gonna be a hard task

Just tried to ride some of it... its all loose sand i cant pedal in it... or i go down a roll in and i hit sand and bust my ass....:roflmao2:

you need dirt to build dirt jumps

you need dirt to build dirt jumps

There is piles of it.... in the woods and stuff... but around here its more sandy

you need dirt to build dirt jumps

incorrect.

Ooh! It definitely looks sandy, but will obviously hold its shape judging from the main jumps you've already made.
My thoughts: I would try to build 'em higher. I would try mixing some real dirt in there, then water and pack them as hard and as smooth as possible. I think some use of carpet would give you traction on the run up. In fact, try to get your hands on as much old low-pile carpet as possible and lay it on all of the loose parts and let it settle in. You have a good spot to work with!

wierd coincidence, something like this has just happened to me and i am now currently building jumps on it, i will add in my +1 for carpets and adding more dirt. also get it as compact as you can

Dig deep.

You could have a small heaven on your hands if you got access to a Bobcat. You can rent at home depot.

incorrect.

Uhhh, no... they are called dirt jumps for a reason, not sand jumps, wood jumps, concrete jumps, or grass jumps.

Large rocks with dirt over them ftw.

Dig deep.

FTW.

The jump and berm I made in sandy ground last year are barely even visible anymore, they just equalized into the ground. That's what sand does, if you ignore it for the winter at least...

Plus it's almost impossible to pack down without a ton of water.
