The idea that was proposed, but time ran out on was adding more dirt to the front of the third jump, to make the landing longer, but not change the angle. Basically we were going to put enough dirt on the front of the jump to make the spacing between 2 and 3 the same as or close to 1 and 2. That is alot of dirt, but not a major tweaking, as we would not really change the shape of what is already there.

Sounds good, more dirt on the front of it. Sorry it was crap after I fixed it, and probably would have been even worse after the #1 face was made steeper.

We gotta think about the arc the buggies make, it's very high, so the landing should try to follow. Need to drive with someone videoing and getta good shot of several and try to build too match..does that make sense?
