I've just had my first go at building jumps.  Is it fuckin' hard work, or am I just a lightweight??

Hard work, hence why you try and use natural materials such as large boulders, tree stumps etc. makes you realise how much material are in large jumps

I managed to use some gritstone blocks in amongst it, helped a bit!  But it's also positioning the jumps and shaping them, much more technical than I thought......
