"There are two reasons why this won't stop the MINI... ONE because your snow wall isn't strong enough... and TWO...the MINI is going down THAT slope...NOT THIS SLOPE! YOU BUILT THE WALL ON THE WRONG SLOPE!"

LOL

For some reason I find that hilarious.

I stand corrected... I searched Mini ski jump, but your thread didn't come up.
Maybe I should start a new thread, like "How to title a new thread with words that really describe what your thread is about."

Maybe just too many words in your search? If you just search for "ski" and limit the date (e.g. 2 weeks or 1 month), you get the relevant threads.

Not exactly sure where to put this, so in off-topic it goes.
