So here is a rough idea of a layout, im working with a bit less land than before, about 380 ft by 200ft is the rectangle, I can probably stretch it to 400, just then it becomes harder for the farmer to plant the field as it extends past the end of my property. The big blue rectangles are tables, the smaller squares, are roller doubles. Advice?

I definitely agree with the other guys who recommend riding your layout first before building any jumps. This is a small space you are working with and it will feel even smaller on the bike. Be careful not to fall into the trap that a smaller track = getting away with smaller jumps. It seems counterintuitive, but small steep jumps are actually at their worst on a small track (you might find yourself never getting your bike out of 2nd gear).
