If I have big downs and ups I simply stay off the brakes...

Confucius says:

Pedal down hill and coast up the next one,
Coast down a hill and you will need to pedal up hill very hard,
Use your brakes going down a hill (Or In the G-out) and you will find It extremely hard to walk the bike up the next hill
