A Day In Watford
Watford, North London is home to some of the nicest riders to come out of London. With what is far from a decent skatepark, it is beyond me how such a place has spawned such an array of talented riders. We spent an afternoon hanging with some of the locals; with a brief interruption of rain, we headed into town to session a curved ledge untill the park was dry enough to sneak in a few more clips...

BMX Bike Ramp Plans

Please view the images below for BMX Bike Ramp Plans. Here you’ll find diagrams for a Fun Box, Launch Ramp, and Half Pipe.

Be sure to scroll down the page if you want instructions for Trail Jumps.

Trail Jump

Finding a good spot can be hard some times. You just have to find land that isn’t owned by someone close by. If you are going to build on a farm, try asking the farmer. Just go right up to his house and ask him. (and don’t ever cut down big trees, it will get you caught fast.) One of the best places to build on is land owned by the town. Then, only the town can do something.

Look around before you start digging. If there’s a hill behind you, use it as a drop in, for speed and bigger air. Make sure that the dirt is easy to dig and pacts hard. Water is also important. Make sure you have a good water source near by like a creek, to compact your jumps.

Now start planing what you want to build and where to build it. Try not to make sharp turns in you trails, if you do have to make a turn, make long sweeping turns to help hold your speed. Or make huge berms, but better than berms are hip jumps.

Now it’s time to start building. To build a trail jump all you need is a shovel and some dirt. Search around for old logs, chunks of old concrete or anything solid you can find lying around that you don’t mind burying. Place them in a pile filling in all the cracks with dirt. After that start piling dirt into a mound. Then when the jumps are roughly how you want them you can start packing them with your shovels. At the same time, pour water on it. This helps it pack.

Once you’ve packed them all down, you can start riding them. At first, they will get ruts. This is because they aren’t packed enough. Just keep filling them in, smoothing them out and riding them. Keep doing this and eventually you’ll have some good jumps.
