I have 2 hills near my house, one in a neighbors yard and one up at the elementary school. they are both flat at the top and bottom, so no real good place to build a kicker with enough speed to actually do something.  can someone tell me where to place the kicker for maximum fun and where i can do stuff off it? like halfway down the hill, bottom and making a small table top, etc. thank you

lower middle.

tow in, put it at the top?

does anyone know the vid when they put the huge hip on the side of the road, and towed in. Maybe a 4bi9 edit?

what i did when it snowed a tiny bit (i live in england) i put it quite high up the hill and built a big lump of mud and sprayed it with water so it froze shovled some snow onto it and got enouth speed from that to hit the kicker and teh hill was a alright landing

in my opinion pick the steepest hill put the jump at the top of it with the drop in at the top then get the speed from the mud drop in and the angle drop of the hill sould give u more air time.

hope that helped

pics would help, that way it would be easier to judge these sorts of things.
