maybe a berm about 3 times as big! thats tiny and it needs to be much more compacted

Build a 1m thick concrete wall in the trail. That should stop the rider pretty fast. Razz Big Grin

That won't slow you down, that will break first.

what wrong about driftCook kept those feets on the pedals and drift it, a berm will start to appear after some good drift action

dig the into the inside of the berm, use that dirt to build up the outside, and then use a shovel or a rake to smoothe out the berm. Then buy or make yourself a packer, and packit and wait a while then pack again. To make a packer get a small tree about a small fist around the length of a long handle shovel, and cut a small piece of ply wood and nail it onto the bottom of the tree. I'll try to get a picture of mine but it works great for me.
