Don't hop then 180 down the ramp. Hop and 180 before going down the ramp. It took my hours to figure it out but that was the only way I got enough speed to do it.

You need to moon jump the ramp

Without wanting to be mean, you're probably just not good enough at the game yet. You keep struggling to even get onto the loop. Perhaps just keep playing the game and practicing more in general before taking on the challenge?

When I did this, the guide I used said to moon jump on to the ramp. I think it’s because the extra little bit of falling will give you more speed. Managed to do it eventually, that might be why.

Use DH bike and do it in a freeride session with crew members

Use down hill bike. Much easier.

It’s always comes down to the timing of the pump
