DIRT LANDING SPECIFICATIONS


In the above sketch, the arrows illustrate the landing angle on the dirt landing. The beginner angle is derived from a low-pitched dirt takeoff, and the advanced angle is derived from a competition-style freestyle ramp. Notice the slightly angled 'safety' on the advanced landing. The reason for this is so that when the bike cases the jump, the rider has a somewhat sloped surface to help absorb the shock, and to prevent bucking the rider over the handlebars.

 
Below:  Here you can see what we call an "intermediate style" landing being shaped. The angle is in between the beginer and advanced landings, and this landing has a small safety (about 3-5 feet). The finished landing was about 9-10' tall.

NOTE: If it's your first time on a freestyle motocross ramp, read the "FIRST TIME ON A RAMP" section.

Below you can see the finished intermediate style freestyle landing, It has a 4-6 foot flat spot on top, and a mellow landing slope.
