The double at the bottom is not that hard you dont need that much speed just get around the corner and pump through after a few goes you will be loving it

To be honest it's pretty small, yeh there's a hole there but if there wasn't you wouldn't even think twice about jumping it.

didnt find the ruts a problem. loads of intersting lines donw there widen you perspective when riding dont follow the same line everyone else takes
ride the track more and it will be fine as they will wear down and smooth out over time. what do you want a smooth track?

its due to everyone being a sheep and following the same line.
after the switch backy burm bit 1/2 way down the new section at the bottom. cross two roots and take a wide right over stumps and roots, no ruts to be found. take a wide right over the lump jump thing. go around the next burm and cut in reallly tight left or reallly wide right. smooth!
wide across the the next bit and aorund the big burm sorted!

dont be a sheep.
