    Yes Mate! Quick tip... print out a couple of maps of the quarry (even if it's just google earth screenshots) and start scribbling out ideas for lines. It will give you a better idea of the lay of the land, and help you make the most of what you can fit in👍

    Such a big task at hand. Can’t wait for the digger to get in there. I think you’ll find a new found enthusiasm for even bigger plans once you have a digger to alleviate some of the dread of such a large task ahead shovelling so much for such a large area from scratch that’s dedication. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Looking forward to the wall rides!

    I think you need to take the top off that ramp and it will be fine..it launchs you up instead of forwards. Also, get a petrol brush cutter/strimmer in and clear all that greenery and give a blank canvas on the sections you are working on... Top content, dude... wouldn't mind popping over for a nosy

    Awesome project. Maybe build a smaller ramp next to the existing one and widen the landing accordingly... You can pick and choose. Plus when you build that first jump you got 2 entry speed options. Higher take off speed from higher drop in and lower take off speed if dropping from lower drop in. Could equal 2 blended take off options on first jump...saweeeeet.

    trail builder tips, always stand downhill to the dirt, saves ya back from dying, always get rid of grass before putting dirt on top for the berms or jumps, and when smacking dirt in, use a long handle shovel and kind of smack and drag at the same time, that way it doesnt stick as easy and keep coming back up.
    honestly doesnt hurt to watch a few videos on trail building yourself before ya start to get the hang of things, took me about 2.5 years of digging the hard way before I learnt a few tricks 👌🏽
    dont use waste under good dirt, it will always fail, dont make dry mounds and ride them, and ALWAYS pack the shit outta the jumps with some water aswell. hopefully this helps, cause im sure the trail fellas will allll agree with me on these tips.. churrr

  • @mscustomlures
    @mscustomlures Před měsícem +1

    Get yourself some long handled shovels, irish shovel (pointed) for digging and a flat one gor shaping it'll save your back slightly over using normal shovels.
    The take off is too steep you're losing too much speed going up it if it were a foot or more lower it would send you further and not waste speed on the roll in. With the speed you have you'll probably get 1 or 2 big jumps max before the quarry wall looking at it, is there an option to split the line at the bottom and have a shark fin left to make use of the space into a set of doubles whilst still having a straight option into the cliff? Whilst you have the whole quarry you'll need to plan smart to maximise your speed if you wamt to make a long line as once you're in the quarry floor you've lost your gradient. Whilst building multiple single features makes good youtube content you can soon get bored of it and you've still got the rent to pay

    I don’t know exactly how much space you got but you could consider chucking 3 x shipping containers next to wherever you park for it
    Shipping container 1 is your admin and where you charge/ sort out admission
    Shipping container 2 you rent to a young bike mechanic for 300 a month, they give you 10 percent of what they make from labour(in return if you have a good fit) you will get free advertisement on your bike park, as well as more footfall in traffic. I wish there was somewhere near me which could tune my suspension and I could test it on a trail to get it right.
    Container 3 rent it out similar deal to container 2 to someone wanting to rent out a fleet of bikes , hell container 2 if switched on could service them for a fee making a nice nest egg. Also even more advertisement for your park.
    This was partly my business plan for when I leave the forces however I’m thinking of relocating to a different country when I retire so would rather drop my plan onto another rider especially if it means there can be more awsome places to ride in the UK
