The moment when you go to fav the picture but you've already done it ages ago... Awesome POD choice. Well done!

Are there explosives in the area because i just don't see how people blow up berms like that. Thumbs up bro

Pile up a bump of soft dry dirt on the berm b4 the shot (we have done). Most great shots like this are not first tries IMO (not everyone destroys berms).
Love the cleanness of this shot!
