Hey man just push dirt around and make your own custom track. Pile up dirt, jump it, then plow it down and rebuild it. That's the beauty of dirt

You said that you are in the USMC. Thats cool Im in the USN in hawaii stationed at SDVT-1. I was wondering where are you stationed? There is a really great riding area here in Hawaii on the island of Oahu called Kahuku motocross park. There are trails, quad tracks, kids tracks, motocross practice track and the full power race track for MXing. 

right now im on camp pendleton my cuz is stationed on the boxer he used to be on the coranado"sp" oh well but i do like the thing about dirt just dont know how to space or how high to buld the jumps

i wanted to build a track too, first i drew it out on paper using inches for 10ft. i measured the land i had to use and then drew it. after that i got my skid and bull dozer ready for rent (the skid my firend had) before we picked up the dozer we spsray painted roughly where the jumps were on our paper and used construction stakes to align them we got the dozer n went to work.... too bad i got a broke arm and cant enjoy this week of 65 degree weather

www.dirtwurx.com is also a great site for more technical stuff (degrees, angles, whoops, etc...)

that sucks dude do u still have the drawing of the track?? do you have a way to pm me with a copy i want to see what u did with it

yeah dude ill look for it in my garage, i pretty much followed dirt wurx's ideas except weith the whoops which were tricky, my track turned out more supercross then i wanted it to be though

i was readin your profile and i see u like to go fishing what do you fish for ovet there in pa? we do a lot of fishin for walleye on the mississippi river i love fishin

it took about 3 solid weeks of work with a dozer n skid but it sure as hell is worth it..... though i wish i had a water truck or some form to water it cause it really droughts up here in pa sometimes, also, when i got all my ideas down and copied over onto a "final draft" some things we found were much harder to do and had to #### cut it or adapt by doing it differently (tabletops were cut #### to save dirt and instead we made table top landings to a double face- this was time saving and saved on dirt which we found to be hard to come by in the end.

well i wont have a shortage of dirt we got 80 acres of hills to play with

but i think im gonna be doing alot of dirt moving

we fish for a lot of bass n trout. im into fly fishin for trout n spin fishin for bass. in the summer time me n my best friend n sometimes other firends go riding from about 9-12 in the morning on trails n tracks, then we got swimmin in our swimmin holes on my crick n then go fishin in the afternoon into evening if we dont go to our other practice track

whats your email n ill send you our track layout n maybe some pics if im down there anytime soon (i have a broekjn arm)
