Cool site. It has a lot of ideas that seem quite good. Now get a shovel, some wood and go to work....:)

Do you want dirt jumps or wood jumps?

Check out this thread in the Freeride section. I posted a graphic on how you would build a wooden tabletop. The trick here is the transition. Make sure it's not too tight, especially for an MTB. I used an 11 FT in the graphic to give you an idea. If you look at the dirt jumps from last weekends building session, notice how there are nice mellow transitions on those. That is why those jumps can be so far apart. That style of jump is really fun because all you really need to do is go fast and have a little bike control in the air. Not a lot of pumping and pulling up, the lip just sends you correctly......and that's how you want it to be.
