    I like how Blake just busts out the tricks: no footer, can-can, and clapping no hander... on a slow, 2-foot high 4-foot long mellow jump. Mad boost!

    Man, as a Mid school BMX dirt jumper i have to say this. For a beginner jump that probably wont be used long, the logs are fine. For trails you want to use for a long time just use dirt. The logs break down over time and leave you with issues. Thank you for the vid. I just bought a dj mtb and plan on learning how to use it.

  • @deimosphob
    @deimosphob 6 лет назад

    the logs are a great idea, it actually makes it stronger and creates what is called engineered dirt... Breaks the sheer-line of the dirt and actually allows you to make it steeper than the sheer-line. In-fact, paper, grass, leaves, netting, etc will work. great for that too.

    Dude that shovel is so not a spade it's square at the edge spades are well, pointy! That shovel is a tamper and a dirt mover not much of a digger that dirt must be amazingly soft! And those logs look pre cut more like an easter egg hunt of jump building haha really enjoyed the vid it had a very upbeat vibe.
