Yes, I know that this is the gear forum. And yes, I know that some will find this idiotic. But here goes.

I need some pictures, nice ones of good dirtjumps. In specific, I need pictures of the take offs of dirt jumps that are good for pulling stunts off off. Soo not too vert, not too shallow. And perhaps a pic or two of a nice landing.

Why the pics? Because I have never ridden a good line of jumps that are good for stunting.

Why is it in gear? Because the right setup and angles and such are needed.

Why don't I just use trial and error? Because i have one shot at this, if i don't get it right the first time, i can't fix it because it will be too dry the next time around.

I think maybe k-bizzle could help, he seems to be able to pull x-treme stunters off of his jumps:thepimp:

thanks

People will instinctively do more good if they know they will get credit for it.

Yes, im in washington….Just over the hill from you guys (fast and smooth, nickschwarzmiller) On the other side of snoqualime pass, in cle elum…..darn middle of no where.

I have ridden the 76 jumps, in fact just rode them last weekend for the first time. They seemed kind of steep and lippy to me? more like a flow line than a stunt lineup. Maybe it was because i was jumping on the dh bike :rolleyes: :)

Watch Third Down and you'll see some good jumps. Look at the Von William's section on his Specialist.

Thanks i was wondering where the 76 jumps were, but i now know. If you really want good jumps to do tricks on id say build you own mini set. THe bike park in north bend is pretty good to do tricks on.

Just start by making them kinda liped then countinuosly make them bigger until there perfect. Make the take off as smooth and try to have it keep the same arc the whole way up. Also if there for tricks you want bigger lips for more air. To do tricks you want to go up not out as much.
