Answer 1

Hey

I build heaps of these but freeride but no diff.

First collect thick logs or branches or large rocks

Next drive two stakes into the ground (make sure they won't brake) and pile the logs/branches/rocks on an angle against the stakes.

Cover with dirt and make sure that you can jump on it as hard as you can on it. ( if it moves a tiny bit that's ok cos when you do the jump you use less weight then jumping on it)

For BMXing that should do but if you freeride you'd add some things (won't go into details, to long)

Answer 2

you need 2 things: #1)2 pieces 9' radius cut outs 3/4 inch plywood, 2 feet, 9 inches tall

#2) (20) 2 1/2' 2X4's

Nail about 15 on the radius (with the 4 inch side facing up) between the 2 pieces of plywood and 5 along the bottom
