Hey guys, went for a drive and finally found a gap (took long enough). I have been looking for ages. Couple of problems
1 - only hittable when its been raining a bit (then hittable for about 6 or more hours after that)
2 - the landing is about 2 inches deep and concrete. (u know might be a problem.... just abit)

So yeah if ya look at the fotos u can see what im talking about. Im thinkin of maybe stickin some sand bags or soemthin at the landing and try boost it up to about a foot or 2 deep, but what do u guys rekon, do u think i can make this work or do u rekon ill just die if i try hit it Razz

Sandbag line (if u get my idea)

you can do it. just depends on how bad you want it.

I'd try putting sandbags all around, in a rectangle to land in, that way it'll take less time/water to fill up. Also, put them as far back as you can, otherwise you won't have time to actually ride away from tricks. A while back, maybe a year or two ago there was a vid on alliancewake.com with Jeff Engen, Justin Scott, and some other guys hitting a gap with a 2in. deep concrete landing, and it looked to work okay.. so the sandbags might not even be necessary.
