Yeah i know what you mean about speed but jumps on straight dont have to stop the speed, like i said have them a certain distance apart so that you can either go for it flat out and do a big jump or choose to take steady eddie! Just make sure the first jump isnt too steep, is straight, and not broken
Table top is good but its not a big jump is it, 90% of the time it ends with a corner straight after so you just use enough speed to land on the down slope on other side. Events like worksop seems to have a big jump which can be taken steady or go for it.
The diagonal straight like other week was good cuz it didnt look straight so lots of ppl used steering when no need.
York altho use them foot thick crash mats too which are good for landing on.
