First off, if you're concerned about clearing a jump after the turn, the bermed turn is probably the better option.  It's usually the longer way around the track, and often not the fastest in (because you cover more ground than say an inside line) but you can carry more speed into the turn and by making the track longer you give yourself more time to get up to speed after it).  For the big bermed turns, you should have a problem hitting them in 3rd but you may have to work up to.  Concentrate on staying wide into the turn, braking as little as possible and getting on the gas just as you sit, hopefully just a quarter of the way into the turn.

The non-bermed turns are much harder to clear jumps after because they shorten the track up (meaning less room to get a run at it) and they are usually slower through the turn (they're tighter and don't have the berm to support you).  You have to really lean the bike on these and brake harder coming into them.

Keep in mind that normally the inside line is faster once you get the hang of it, sometimes even if you can't clear the next jump.
