Tips on seeding bumps on a relatively flat trail?

[Highway Star]

So I take it none of you guys have done this, let alone build a kicker. You're missing out. I'll post pics if I actually do it.

We'll all be waiting with bated breath...

Could you estimate the size and spacing of the bumps at ski sundown? Or even better, measure them?

I did in high school on the hill in my parents front yard. It was only about 10 bumps before a jump. I did one run turning as if there were bumps to establish my line and then spent an afternoon with a shovel building up the piles and repeatedly skiing them in.

After it was all said done. Big rain event. :lol:

wasn't worth it and never tried building bumps again. I did always have some sort of jump in the yard whenever there was snow around though.

Cool, thanks....like you say, I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Anyone know if there's an FIS spec for mogul courses?

Looks like about a 10-12ft spacing. I should probably go a bit tighter, say 8-10 ft?

Whether he's trolling or not, that is the exact way I used to build kickers when I was a kid.

Never did the mogul field though. The hill was not long enough.

does this mean that you are gonna man-up and do the BMMC this year?

i love how every one states "i know you are trolling" but then answers the question.

Maybe. Think I could make the 2nd day?

Only if you go through Frank's Bumps Only Ski School. I heard he's having a session soon and he's already got one AZer signed up! ;-)

Doesn't sound like much of a challenge.

Will you be competing?

Then it should be a lock for you. I say put up or shut up.
