You guys aren't winning me over. I think hopping is cool but the penalty is too harsh for it to be a good part of the sport. Kinda like if there was a move where whenever you didn't clean it you hit a tree. Or if there were ditches to hop over but they weren't just moderate gullies where a harsh landing would mess you up a bit, but instead were sharp-edged ravines where you just smashed if it didn't go right. Like jumping whoopdee's can be harsh but it's not like hitting a wall. Well, if everyone loves em then sure I'm outvoted. I might try to work on them myself. They just seem a bit over the top. Especially when a barrer is meant to encourage some running in the first place. A little legging it is more a part of cross than is stunting.
