maybe it was designed so you do not get too much air so avoiding the broken bodys that come with it so having it all closed down by the legal leeches

The "jumps" on the energy section on whites level

they are not as difficult as the massive one on the black run at brechfa
But at least with the ones at Brechfa they look like they at least been designed with jumping in mind.
I don't 'hate' the Energy section GaryLake, those jumps are just frustrating is all.

I think they're good, i like going fast here anyhow and you manual them off the lip as well which is quite fun also.

I try to brake/suck-up just enough to avoid airtime, but find that makes it hard to really flow through them - maybe the last one is a bit tall. I'd like to be able to get air without crashing; having to slow down for jumps is a bit dull.

I've only been through that section twice and I found that despite trying hard with the first two jumps and hitting them fast I stayed pretty much on the ground and then on the third jump it properly launched me and I nearly lost it as I dropped into the dip rather than landing on the downslope, scared me so much I haven't been back!
The other niggle I have there is there are some really nice little steps to pop off in the narrow woody bit, but they have put bloody turns straight after them so if you do jump them properly with any sort of air/distance you end up disappearing off the actual trail.

You need a lot of speed and to pump the up ramp a lot to get near the down slope, but it's worth it! You are prettty tired after the third one with the sheer effort of clearing them though. I find the Brechfa black run jumps much better and easier to boot.
