me and a few of my friends decided to make some 50/bmx trails, and here's a few pics. while i'm on the subject, how do you guys pack your jumps down real hard? there's a few more pics in my gallery

Water and let them sit 3 days before riding and they will pack really good. It is tempting to ride but the longer you wait to jump them the better they will pack and the more fun they will be to ride.

Ya I do the old water trick too,I totally soak the jumps and then pack them down real hard and wait also like 3 days and they are as hard as a rock
Do I hear an echo? :roll:

what would that do


If i understand him right about the rings, it packs down in small areas so you can have more pressure in one little area rather then being spread out



in the roller term there refered to as sheep foot roller. just combines all the weight in a smaller area for more compaction
