    I like how Blake just busts out the tricks: no footer, can-can, and clapping no hander... on a slow, 2-foot high 4-foot long mellow jump. Mad boost!

    Man, as a Mid school BMX dirt jumper i have to say this. For a beginner jump that probably wont be used long, the logs are fine. For trails you want to use for a long time just use dirt. The logs break down over time and leave you with issues. Thank you for the vid. I just bought a dj mtb and plan on learning how to use it.

    the logs are a great idea, it actually makes it stronger and creates what is called engineered dirt... Breaks the sheer-line of the dirt and actually allows you to make it steeper than the sheer-line. In-fact, paper, grass, leaves, netting, etc will work. great for that too.

    digging the dirt all on the surface gives you all the fresh dirt and if you dig up the dirt in the shape of a small path around the jump you have a path for people who dont want to jump it
