I dont get it to be honest , landing is way too close to take off and the take off is too shallow and low to get you over the step up.

I have a jump just like it. It rides like shit, but it's just a workaround from a digging hole

Yea we decided the lift side sucked ass so I redid it. It's pretty banging now, moved it back about 5 inches and raised it another 2 or 3 inches.

I'm just starting building a trail in the acre of woods behind my house, but I started building a berm and realized that the only way for me to get dirt to make the berm was by digging a hole next to the trail. How do you usually get dirt for features?

I have a log as support for the dirt, but I need to put some dirt on it to be able to take it with any speed.
