get a good amount of dirt in a wheel barrow , add a carton of eggs , 2lbs. of peanut butter , a bottle of some thick arse maple syrup , 2 pop tarts , a 1/2 gallon of milk , and 6 1/2 jars of Winnie the Pooh type honey , mix it up with a shovel and pack it in there. That should do'er fer ya! If you get the lip to packed and its makin ' you endo just do the same thing and add some of those big s'mores type marshmellows!

My jumps don't stay very welll either , but I keep eating them.........:ermm:

LOL.. Whut my friend does is lay a piece of board down. I'm not sure whut type wood, b/c it is very very flexible, but that ensures that u don't sink down into the mud.

at the top of your jump leave a bit of extra dirt, like 1 foot or so after the lip, just ahead enough that your not riding on it, it will help keep the lip up :D

carpet works good if you have a long piece so it doesnt fly off.and you can usually find it for free on the side of the road or out of an abandoned house.plus it helps prtect against ruts. just my .02

get the lip wet, then shape. grap a old piece of plywood and lay it at the top. jump all over tell it pacs hard. U may need to put more dirt on it and do it again. then get it wet and let it set until it is nice and hard. thats what i used to do for bikes.
