its not that hard - if you have the 'dont look down' gap its real easy. if so, approaching this gap from the land on the right side of the level as you look at it from the start - not the island - stop just before the jump and look immediately right - a pillar in the middle of nowhere! that is it. if you dont have the dont look down gap, then try this: immediately at the start of the level, turn 45 degrees to the right and ride over the small dirt bridge over the road below. As you continue, sticking roughly to the left, you will see two jumps over to the left. The firdt of these is 'Satan's burp' - ignore it. After a few logs you will see the second - this is the 'dont look down' gap. Approach it but stop just before the jump and look immediately right - a pillar in the middle of nowhere! that is the mushroom pillar. I have the full 40,000 respect points so feel free to ask me questions about challenges, easy points, hints, glitches or gaps. kev
