[QUOTE="berm buster, post: 167025, member: 22786"] [b]jump construction[/b] Hey Stormer94, I am with you! I have looked at a lot of the doubles and tabletops at several different tracks, and most of them have the following layout. Doubles are ususally about 25 to 30 feet from peak to peak, generally are about 3 to 5 feet high, and the more fun or easy ones, have ramps with more length, rather than steeper angles. Without fail, when I watch newer riders, the doubles with the longer takeoff ramps, and less steep takeoff ramps, are the ones they will actually try to jump, rather than roll it! Its just much more fun to actually "jump" on the bike than to roll all of the jumps. believe me they want to, but that angle and sometime the height scares them, and for good reason. Just as you said, "the miss the landing and die" type jumps are very intimidating. Also, the landing ramps need to be longer, with less angle, so if they do come up short, you wont go over the bars. Landing on the "flats" is OK, but its much smoother on you and your bike, when you land on the down hill sloped ramp. If track builders would keep these facts in mind when they are designing the jumps, I believe that many more riders would come to these tracks, when they know that the jumps are safer, in general, I tend to ride those types of tracks, because they are much more fun! If I make the jump, great, if I screw up the landing, its not life changing, most of the time , you get a rough landing, and you think to yourself, I think I will try something different the next time. But at least you wont end up in the hospital, thats NO fun, and , it takes to much time to heal, and look at all of the lost riding time! Ride smart and safe. :cool: [/QUOTE]
