The easiest solution, is just don't.

Not very helpful I know, but don't even try, you're wasting your time.

Either get dirt delivered, and I mean a LOT, so you can build an entire new ground base of at least 6" dirt, and then your DJ's on top of that, or find a new area.

Around where i live all i see is unusable rainforest (denser than a pimp's resume) and sandy stuff thats shit for making jumps. Do you rekon that if i dig long enough ill find clay?

thanks for the ideas i'll definately use them when I build.

One tool that you left out was a trowel. Were using it one our jumps to make nice touchups on the lips and its working great.:)

That was really comprehensive, Gluey

Enlighten me, we have this step down/hip thats built well, and it drains fine, but its too hard to get any speed.

What I was thinking was, build a berm that follows the short run-in, and then build a jump onto the lander, It would still be hipped but easier to do.

I'll post up some pics if thats confusing. Thanks
