    Drop, Jump, Gap Jump

Dirt Merchant starts out with a drop-in that is somewhat more difficult than the one on upper A-line. Lots of steps up that have alternate hip landings and some drops that are 3-5 ft. There’s a big hip near then end too, and some pretty big drops. Harder than Fade to Black for sure.
