I think what happens, is the track builders get over enthusiastic and go OTT with the ideas (myself included). As individually each track feature is usually rather good, but when its one feature into another, then another - the features just blend in to an obstacle course which is unraceable and a marshalls nightmare.
Indoor jumps have a limit, as they are hard to build to be rolling, tend to be aggressive slopes with limited amounts of smoothing out and short downramps which start with a lip and are hard to hit, so they can be a lot harder to do than outdoor big air - hence what the US guys have is a lot easier to do than many would think. But all I really like is consistent jumps - ones which don't have a "sweet-line" to get it right as the slope is shallower at one end than the other, and can be done lap after lap with effort, but no suprises.
