that sounds so funny, its as if a person gets in your way you just kill them instead of going round.Now I know not to kill thing that are in my way and instead go round them.
Thank you.

Does quickset concrete work on dirt?Using quickset concrete to cap the up ramps of jumps is a good idea imo as it prevents erosion and makes for a good strong ramp that is harder to destroy. Just make sure you build the rest of the ramp well too. Also make sure you don't leave any spare concrete lying around, try and use it somewhere else. Pallets are also good for landings because they are strong and wide but using natural landings is preferable. The idea, as said before, is to create a minimal impact trail.
Top tips above, anyone who wants to start a trail should take note of this stuff.
Good question, probably a smaller one than the one you'd use for building the bulk of the jump. Typically, me and my mates use a big, long handled shovel to build most of the jump, move on to the next jump/berm/obstacle whilst one of us stays back to properly finish the jump with a smaller, square handled shovel. Works well with dj's, but would translate well to Dh track.hey thanks heaps man that realy helped me alot with every thing, one question what type of shovel/ shade is best for building the lip (cos i have a bobcat but i cant get any lips with it). thanks
Couple of options, 1. Some northshore, which I hate in downhill tracks but is sometimes just needed. Otherwise put the hard yards in with a pick and go smash some rocks!so me and a few mates have just started to make a dh track. a problem we have come accross is ALOT of unmovable rocks. like sharp, sticking out of the ground limestone rocks. and very little sand. what the hell do we do!! we cant go around the section, and we already have so many rock gardens, wa want start to open up the track and make it a little faster but theres so many lime stone rocks.. knock them out with a sledge hammer??
There is some great idea i wouldn't have thought of with out this wish i had land to build a good one on and know that it wont get destroyed by council.ive started building a trail of my own and this forum has helped me with some ideas.
thanks for the tips dude
Sorry what i said was "get destroyed by council" ie, the track i just built gets demolished by the council.your tips where very helpfull thanks. i have one question would you get introuble by the council if thay find out who built a track? thanks
