In my local woods there's all kinds of jumps next to the holes that have provided the earth for them.
My question is, how do they make them so that they don't wash away?
On my commute there is an off camber really rooty section which is fine in the dry but 50 psi and cyclo cross tyres in the wet are not much fun.
I got to thinking that I could bury that section with a quasi jump. How do I do it so that it will be there after all this rain?
Obviously I would go on a skills course but shovelling dirt is free.

Just raise the level of it, it won't wash away, unless there's a lot of water running down it from a hillside.

Build a bit, pack it down, build more, repeat

Needs to be good dark earth and not too dry
