went to chicksands and knocked the trails down slowly. i had to rebuild after almost every run because i kept hitting the sides not the top. the second landing is wafer thin.

roll in from the stump, don't pedal, don't break. all the weight on your pedals because the roll in is very bumpy. over the tiny bit of log sticking out at the base of the lip and then over the first, nose down in the air and onto the landing. keep it straight and quickly up into the second lip. don't kickout, go straight ahead into the third lip, relax, move your bike around a bit and land on top of the mound of soft sand which is where the third landing should be.

thanks to tim and adam for the photos. sorry i didn't get any of tim or anyone else. it's all in the movie.
