there is a perfect spot to build a hip like 5 minutes from my house. the lip, from the ground is like 15 feet. atleast, and its a good 80 feet long. so it will be IDEAL to build a hip there. the question is, about the lip. should we put it flat, or like angle it a little to the landing? also what about the angle in the Y axis? like 60 degrees or soemthing? i dont mean like actual degrees, but would it be better to go steep cause its gunna be a HUGE lip or a shallow lip so we go far. ill get pics tomorrow after school. its all dark and shit now.

just make it steep, hips that shoot you high are cooler then ones that shoot you far.

dont angle the lip toward the landing, and make the lip as steep as you can while still being able to hit it switch

WHAT?????? This is going to be death, how is that a perfect spot? 80 feet long? Where are you going to land? Tow in's are for big hits, not small ones with no transition. Abort this plan stat.
