could you guys help me out plz?
iv recently stumbled across somewhere perfect to make some trails in. its got a hill that i am going to use as a roll in, but what should i have after that?
im putting in a few doubles and tables but what else an i put in? iv got heaps of wood that i could use for a northshore, but i dont know how to make one for a bmx. should i have jumps in it? or just rollers? or a wall ride? i dunno what im gonna do. i might post a few pics tomorow, and if you guys like it il keep you updated. and also what do you guys have at your local trails?

Don't do table tops... Talk about wasting dirt. Just build steep doubles and hips out the ass.

Do tabletops with wooden planks filling the gaps

Thats how they've done it at my local DH/FR places so i'm pretty sure it works just fine.

Take your time with trails, keep them hard packed, and (to me) you want as much flow as possible. Being creative with your lines is always a good thing aswell. ;)
Here's a little inspiration for your builds...
