Me and my homies been eyeing up a catwalk/road gap at our local hill. We’ve got shovels and the means to build it but don’t rly know the speed or how we should build the lip. Any advice?

I'd say build it on the bigger side. The worst thing you can do is come up short so best to just take that out of the equation

Alrighty thanks the more speed the better is what I’m getting. Landing is basically half the run so I can’t rly go to big

Big lip+Big speed= success

Worst thing that can happen is you come up short and break your ankles

Ok so like kicky but like not to steep lip and lots of speed.

Put rockets on your skis, worst thing that can happen is coming up short so take that out if the equation.

Just take it slow at first and work your way up to fully clearing the gap
