Somna, you should come by the shop sometime and get Phil to give you a mini-clinic. He showed me some things that helped a lot ... but of course I stopped practicing and promptly lost any progress I'd made. I've seen Phil clear 2' boxes on his DH bike and he's got a carboard bike box hidden away to practice with his bmx.
