I'm probably unlike most people in that I don't like "big air" for its own sake, but what I do like is sections that reward a good line and a nice balance between fast and slow, with obstacles that need to be negotiated not simply ramped.

From Saturdays 4wd NERCR track I particularly enjoyed the left/right/left-jump/left-tabletop section after the main straight, and also the right/left/kicker-tabletop/right section in the middle. Both rewarded a good line by letting you carry speed, but you also needed to line up the jumps at the right angle and the right speed to clear them quickly too.

I'm not so keen on endless sucessions of constant radius hairpins and jumps that you will clear regardless of approach (a bit like the second half of the NERCR 4wd track).
