Building a jump

use goat semen to pack the lip

Take a look at your favorite park jump, a serious look, check out how long they are. you'll notice from the transition (where the jump starts its upwards transition) to the edge of the lip is a lot longer than you think. Take your ski, and count the ski lengths. A smooth jump should be at least 5-6 ski lengths. you can use these rough measurements to build your jump. Remember, when building jumps the more room the better. You eat up a lot of room when you're going fast so plan out your transition properly.

You need to fill the transition in more, yours is too quick.

Glad you solved your problem

Try to cut snow blocks

Pile the snow blocks depending on how big you want the jump.

shape the tranny.

Trim sides and front of the jump

Side step and Stomp in run

boom, hit jump

Not sure you fully read OP?
Sounds like he's already building jumps but they're way too steep, and it's the "shape the tranny" he's having issues with.
Plus who actually bothers to trim the sides and front, that only works if you're building with really packed snow and good luck doing that with a spring jump made of lumps of slush; plus who really gives a fuck what it looks like - you're not making a ski film. Not trimming/shaving it = stronger jump.

OP make your jumps way longer, sounds like you're basically building a pyramid, you really want like a long wedge.
It depends a lot on what sort of slope you're building the jump on - if you're building it into a snow-bank (like up a windlip) it's really easy to make a long, gentle tranny. If you're building it on a downhill slope then build a really solid wall for the back of it up to the height you want then backfill it working your way up the hill, depending how steep the hill is you can get a decent jump just making it flat but if you want pop you have to fill a long, long way back otherwise it'll be super sharp.

It also depends on what sort of tricks you want to do off it - if you wanna do backflips you want it pretty vertical whereas if you're predominantly spinning it's easier if the lip is a little flatter.

Instructions unclear, igloo constructed

Ok ok fine. I was on mobile and didn't feel like writing 10 pages on how to shape a tranny

But that would have actually answered his question.

I am also somewhat confused. It IS tough trying to shape a human-figure with both boobs and a dick...even harder when I'm stuck in Twinipz' igloo. I'll need step-by-step instructions.

kryptonicSo I'm not the greatest at building jumps, whenever I make one they always turn out really weird and poppy I can never seem to get the mellow shape then is easy to pop on and feels nice riding up and I feel I'm just building And shaping the jump wrong, does anyone have any tips on making a nice jump

Make the jump more mellow or make the jump larger. It's all about the transition, if it's too quick it just doesn't work. The bigger the gap the more noticeable it's going to be if it lacks transition.

How you build the jump really depends on what style you're going for and the terrain but honestly just fill in the belly with snow which will lengthen and mellow the jump. If it's too mellow at that point make it taller but keep a nice smooth transition going.

I find that when a jump has too much pop that putting some more on the middle and some off the top helps quite a bit.
