Yeah i've never really had that problem with the jumps, but i do hear that complaint a lot. My biggest gripe about northstar is the amount of idiots it draws and how much of a fashion show it is.
However that is going to make it perfect for the dew tour because they will have a shitload of spectators. They also have an excellent pipe, and always build some really sick jumps for the Vans cup so i don't think that will be an issue.
