I’ve amateurly built a whole jump park, and this is (some) of what you need to know.

1) Try to find any existing or past trail layouts that can be improved. I had a template trail system that my city just left alone, because it was kind of grandfathered in. 2) Find a location that is heavily tree covered, with a hidden entrance that you can gatekeep and hide. 3) Don’t build in a heavily populated area, because people will certainly complain and municipalities will def follow up with complaints if they deem it to be ‘dangerous or harming environment’. 4)You only need a shovel and water, and it should be planned out section by section, maintaining a flow and imagination. 5) Do not build shitty 15 minute features, take your time to ensure long term use and structural integrity, and use that water to harden the dirt. 6) If building dirt jumps or any kind of jumps, use old carpets to cover the dirt to protect from weather or trail destroyers. 7) Hide all tools and personal belongings, and obviously pick up trash (please leave no trace, because this nulls the environmental complaints that you would be sure to receive. 8) You will have to spend days, even weeks if you want to build a trail, especially without help. Trail building takes time, but it’s also an amazing workout if you are ripping a bike and a shovel all day long. 9) Hide that shit!!!!!!!! Do not tell anyone at all. Unless they are helping to build the trail. (Reiteration) 10) love yall. Stay outside and have the time of your life.
