After hitting it enough times (about 20 or so), I learned to just suck up the face and not scrub off too much speed, and becuase the landing is stretched out pretty good... it was no biggy whatsoever.
I'm a 42 rider by the way. I ride OTHG 38+ expert, which is truly the equivalent of regular novice class. Thus, my humble suggestion... if you're struggling with that jump, it ain't the jump. It's you. So, no biggy... don't get your feelings hurt.. just go work on the jump some more. It will make you a better rider.
When I go to a track and there is an obstacle bugging me (and I can tell it may just be me, and not the obstacle), I work on it until I start getting better at it. Just a humble suggestion... because, I have to say... there is nothing wrong with that jump, in terms of flow or anything.

yeah i should have been more specific i guess.. im just sayin i landed way down in the flats once on accident and it was really really easy to do considering how you just fly down that straight.
