The tabletop at the far left near the banked bricks is now ace, plenty of airtime and a nice proper downramp to land on. The right hand side is still a bit iffy as it's not quite level and can throw you sideways in the air, but the landing seems really forgiving of that and you can get away with it most of the time.
The triples on the other hand...

Thats all well and good but the thing is they
can't be taken slowly, you just fall over forward onto your roof. My BJ4 had no trouble getting over them as it easily had enough drive to clear the second jump and being 4wd hit them straight every time. 2wd though in the damp conditions was a complete joke for everyone, there isnt enough run up to clear them in lower grip conditions and if you are a bit enthusiastic with the throttle and hit them even slightly sideways all sorts of random things happen. For anyone that hasnt been the second and third bump on the triple are much steeper and more aggressive than the tabletop at Batley, with what feels like 5 feet run up from the first bump.
I think all that needs doing it to smooth them out a bit and make the second jump slightly bigger and more like a jump, and less like a slightly angled wall
Also the hump that has been added going onto the banking needs looking at/removing too, it doesnt really add anything to the track and seems to kick the back end up quite badly on 2wd's. Again my BJ4 went over it no problem but only because I was able to pull the nose up better in the air with 4wd.
As Paul said the angled jumps in the middle are very different, they are as aggressive as the triples but if we take the same route through them as we did yesterday they will be fine. Finding a quick line through them will be a challenge
Please don't think I'm having a moan Woody, just trying to help
