Not sure any of that teaser was in wharncliffe but they did film there, so should be something in the full movie.

Does the very brief bit of Peaty pinning some switch-backs look a lot like Wharncliffe?

You can get dirt by digging the bottom of the landing out. Make sure you leave enough space between each jump so that the transition between the landing and take off is smooth.

Why not dig the landing in aswell give you some soil for the next kicker.
