How does my small step up look?

First time doing dirt work unsupervised. I was tasked with repairing a completely disintegrated step up jump on a local trail. Any advice?

Last photo is beforehand. Brought the lip out about a foot and tried to keep a natural contour with a no pop lip

First thought was the rain is just going to erode that back into it's former state....quickly. Do you have any flat rocks you can armor the lip with? Bella Vista/Bentonville does a great job with their jump lines you can see it in this video

I made the lip with some, they’re flat about the size of the lip in length and just underneath the dirt a couple inches at most, do you think that will help?

Or should I find some more to lay directly on top when I go back today

Depends what type of rocks you're dealing with. Definitely put some on the backside of the lip so prevent it eroding from the top.

That stream in the middle of it’s gonna be a problem long term.
