Start small and then bigger and bigger, ride different tracks, watch someone who’s hitting a jump on the same size bike, follow someone who’s hitting the jump you want to hit( make sure it’s someone who you trust, I did that once and we both cased the jump) he has a video on here where he shows himself jump but landing flat to the side first to make sure he’s got the distance first. After a while you just have a good idea of the speed you need.
Building a track this weekend. I’m thankful for your videos and helpful insight on multiple areas of track building, glad I found these before getting out there. Thanks Johnny 👍🏻
Im just finding this as iv been making improvements to a pre built personal tarack. Im glad to see im on the right track. I do have heavy equipment experience from working in a rock quarry but never building anything. I will definitely be checking a few of these videos out
Very cool! Thanks for the info, would love to see a video on the track prep process. Like watering and ripping and which to do first and how much ripping or tilling to do and whether watering comes first or do you water constantly. I have an existing track that hasn't been ridden in a year that I have access to ride on. Just wanted a place to start so I'm not wasting time with a huge learning curve. Thanks for the content
Subbed. It would be great to have dimensions and spacing for doubles and triples for riders at the beginner and moderate levels. I.E. how long should the piles of dirt be and how much room in-between each.
Have you ever heard of mixing cement with the soil to harden it? I have a pretty sweet track I’ve built now, but I have to reface some of the jumps almost every ride
Any idea on how to make a very small track? I have an acre of land and there will be a house on it towards the front of it and at the very back will be my little track it’s not a big area at all and I made a design and now have second thoughts on it as it seems to be wasting a lot of the space. Any idea? Maybe I can send u some photos of the land I have and you can help me? Do u have anything I can msg you on?
I have a skid steer tire style. I just built a straught rhythm here in Ventura. It’s raining as I write this. God is good , Anyway my jump skills are awful. But your video helped me on a few tricks. I’ll get back out there tomorrow maybe. How dry do I want it or how long should I wait to work my jumps ? I can’t move mud with any skill so far. I’m learning. Come to Ventura use my skidy and help us. Thank you. Tank 357
Yeah man send all information you want to share, building a MX/Enduro small track on 2ac wooded lot and need all help I can get . Even thinking of incorporating a single track down hill MTB line and couple Tiny home and calling it a AIR B&BRAPP. Investors welcome!
Johnny, you should contact the Laramie County MX riders in Cheyenne to see if they can use your services to improve their track. They have a decent layout but just need to improve the track by building some decent jumps, whoops, etc...
What I've done so far is ride hard and kick out the bike tire of my bike letting it kind of drift and rip up the dirt, if you do that continually it will build up your burm and now I'm going in with a shovel digging it deeper while putting the dirt dug up to build up the burm higher
Great but im 15 and Im just tryna make some small jumps in the woods for my honda 150f and my friends chinease knock off 85cc pitbike. I also live in a neighborhood and you have to go through lots and lots of trees to get there.
Jack Beyer u can use a skid build them starting from the end towards the beginning so building backwards two or three buckets on each side fill the middle do a rough shape track it back drag one at a time
My mom has 40 acres in the city and my uncle Bill construction company is down the road I've been operating the equipment there and I can borrow it the yard is already destroyed so my mom said go crazy the city ppl are gonna love this😂
@@Johnny_Hopper I have a back yard track and have made a few tables but I have trouble making a shorter in height version. I'd like some that are 40ft or so but easy to hit. Mine always turn out with two much kick or not enough.
Its a 1:2 ratio meaning if your jump face is 10 feet tall it needs to be twenty feet fro the bottom to the top. But after you get the hang of it eyeballing because the faster easier way my friend.
