Hey, just started getting into bmxin, there are no park near me but TONNES of woods so ive started dirt jumping.

Just interested to find out how big the jumps people were doing when they started? We've built a 3/4 foot jump just for starting out gaining confidence but want to go bigger.

I learned on medium size tables, if you dont clear it, no problem. Just practice on those if you can build it up and dont mind working.

best way is to start at a medium because you dont wnt anything too big but you dont want a too smaller one to

i just started, and i started with a 4 foot table. really nice feeling to get air out of it. now i learned how to nosedive when i land and it really feels awsome

Thats good, also a good size table to learn how to nosedive properly and flow through rythms.

we've just built a 4 foot jump, but were thinkin of converting it into a tabletop, what would be the best way to do it, we are digging mud up out of the ground n we basically dug a grave with the amount of mud we used for the jump

I'd say you should do jumps as big as you feel comfortable doing.
