Best place ever! Even fun on an MTB, just a little bit more of a pain to get onto the ridges..

@Tallboy97: I don't think its too much worse. The first time it was a little scary because we actually didn't lean forward enough. The big bike was a little in the way of the vision and it felt pretty blind, but once we remembered to give a little lean forward it off the lip it was a lot nicer.

@pbuser2299: Ideally you want to land on the throttle. Pulling the clutch might work but the weight of the bike and the soft dirt really makes you want some extra forward momentum when landing. We were hitting the drop in second gear, and shifting to third in the air so you don't land with a ton of engine braking.
