This is a difficult question to answer, because this kind of thing is decided on a local basis. You will have to go to your local planning authority to ask what steps to take. If there are other people who live along your road, you may need to make a group petition. Also, be prepared for your property taxes to go up. Many times, municipalities will charge a special assessment to the properties that benefit from this kind of improvement.

Get off the computer and get outside and use good old trial and error.  Build a ramp of dirt--it may be easier to make a pile of rocks (or whatever else you have in your area) and cover it with dirt.  Jump your bike off it and then adjust it as needed.  Buy a mountain bike video (The Collective, Kranked series, etc) and check out how they build theirs.  They will be bigger and the lips will be more vertical, but you can scale it down.  Also check out photos on online forums (MTBR, NSMB, ridemonkey, busted spoke, etc).  People post their dirt jumps all the time.\n\nIf you know of any BMX jump tracks, check those out.  But realize that a MTB wheelbase is longer, so the curvature of the ramp/lip needs to be a larger diameter.\n\nIf youre only going for 3' of air, you can probably land flat or build your jump so that you land on a down-sloped transition.  When you progress bigger than that, you will probably build your own transition exactly where you need it, and at the angle you need.\n\nCheck out Bellingham, WAs dirt jump park--my buddy helped develop and build it.

Several ways. Mow lawns, get a newpaper route, ask your parents or any nearby relatives if they have anything that you can do "for a price."\n\n~El-Matto

1. The general rule is that the property owner has to grant an easement in their deed in order for the road to become public property. The gov't may have acquired the land by eminent domain, but you probably would have known that.\n2. There could be an easement by prescription, that is if people other than the owners of the road have been using it openly for a certain length of time (prescribed by local statute) then they would have acquired the right to access adversely.\nIn other words, the answer to your question is that yes, in order for a road to be open to the public, the government has to maintain it.\n\nI live in MN, the general site to find city statutes is \n\nwww.city.state.mn.us\nyou might want to try a similar formulation

I guess your basically looking for somthing that gives instructions on how to build dirt jumps.  The easiest way is to just look at pictures from magazines and videos and see how they have theirs built and try to mimic it.  They wont be right at first but with trial and error you will learn how to build lips and backsides that flow well.  If you want some ramp plans though go to www.danscomp.com and they sell some there.  But for dirt is all by trial error and feel.

Are you sure that the road is a public road?  If it's a dirt road it's more likely an easement, in which case maintenance is not the County's responsibility.  Check the parcel map for your property and confirm that there really is a public road there.

best bet is talk to someone who has a tire business and get their advise on what options you have

You can use sand but this does nothing to melt the ice. It merely makes it easier to get a little traction so you can drive over it. \n\nRecently, some areas use a liquid chemical de-icing solution (Calcium Magnesium acetate is one such solution) that gets sprayed directly to roads.  It is more expensive than salt.

theres some nice crushed gravel trails around here, that used to be railroad tracks.  great because its softer than asphalt, and not many hills.

im not a lawyer but maybe this would help, try and see if u can find out when and who planted the trees, like some documents maybe the township would have those documents.  and go to city hall and try and fight them by saying, these were not planted by us and we should have no part in  having to fix sidewalks.  Or do you guys have a town meeting, i kno my town does and you can say nehting you want there.  You can even write a letter to your mayor.  maybe he/she would do soemthing about this.
