how to build good burms

[lachie.g]

first mark the spot were you are going to biuld the burm then cut dead trees down then place them in the shape, pile dirt on top, water it down leave for a couple of days then stand behind it then cut the face to shape with a shovel so it has a good shape to it, water it then push your bike in it a couple of times then ride it!!

have funnnnnnn

This is as useful as your other threads.

And i don't think you'll get a good response from people by saying to cut down trees for the berm.

You can use dead trees if you want, but the burms that last and I think the best berms are ones that are backed with large rock and a whole lot of effort and digging has gone into it.

Berms are one of the most important features in downhill, so if you want to be practicing them for a long time, build them well.

Dude, you need to take a couple of deep breaths and step away from the keyboard for a while. Its great that you are new and super keen but you are starting to get on peoples nerves with the constant posting.

Have a bit of a look around, read a bit (this site has been around for a long time and lots of things have already been covered) and see what's out there and perhaps then you can jump in.

Its also great to see that you are keen to build but again have a look out there and see what's around. Cutting down trees (even dead ones) isn't a good idea unless you have the landowners permission so try and keep that in mind when you are working.
