What is the best way to build a good size kicker for a back yard? Not just out of snow b/c theres never enough snow to build a kicker so how can i build a frame?????

use wood to make a frame in the shape u want then cover the frame in ply wood. just look at the under side of a skate ramp to see how to place things.

yeah well the schrab bros are pretty nuts.....just make it out of hay because plywood wont hold snow if its steep. And if you want a 20 foot jump your jump you build will only need to be maybe 6 or 8 feet high if you have a downhill landing

yup hay bales is definately the way to go plus you can get alot of them for cheap way better than using wood in my opinion for sure

hay or dirt

dirt would require less snow, but would take longer to build. you rbest bet is to cover bails of hay with dirt.
