I'd imagine that with no designated jump section in the forest geurilla jumps will begin to appear and they'll be far more dangerous and harder to manage.

There are some, just up the hill, on what I think was called the Camel Trail.

I wonder if the CE has now backed itself in to a corner. They originally officialised everything to make it safer and more controlled, but now with more and more people turning up it seems like the incident rate is still uncomfortably high. There's no natural terrain - i.e. a thumping great hill - that wards off Barracuda Bob, so I wonder if those that would be breaking themselves on the Jump Gully will simply break themselves elsewhere instead.

I'd imagine that 2 things will happen.
1. They'll break themselves elsewhere
2. Make dangerous modifications to existing trail that will break other people...
Is it red 21 that has some decent sized jumps in it? I steer clear of the last one as it always throws you into a corner with MASSIVE braking bumps.

Yes, to red 23. Tragically, that's where a chap got himself killed.

You should see the Bbumps in the alps. Much fun on hardtail.
