I hear you guys and yes the tranny needs more dirt on the bottom of it to make it longer and not as steep. I was thinking that as more people land the jump the more the dirt would travel down and draw out the landing more but that's not the case, instead it's packing, which is great but it needs more dirt because you are right, the landing is too steep.
As for location, there is no where else to build jumps like these unless we get a new trail. Ideally it would be nice to put a sign up. Actually even more ideal is that people ride within their capabilites and make that decision themselves but that'll never happen. If people are unsure they can go around the jump and still hit the rest of the line no prob.
I know i'm being defensive because I worked on it but everything is always a work in progress, and to really sound whiney, it's kind of funny to hear all of this when only 10 people show up to a trail day. yes we need more communication out there but give someone a shout either for a ride or to suggest ideas or to help.
