do you guys skip across the top of the whoops or do you ride up and down them?

For Jumps, do what everyone said. Build as much speed up to the jump as you can, let off slightly, then as soon as your ready to go off the jump, pin the throttle really quick.

For Whoops, lean as far back as you can and keep the front end as light as possible while giving it generous doses of throttle [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img].

For Corners, brake as late as you possibly can and accelerate as soon as you can out of the turn.

Default Hints and tips on Jumping, corners, and whoops

I think it all depends on the scenario especially on corners. they are all different. On a hairpin with a High berm. I like to shoot for the top of the berm and gas it hard cut the bars in that direction and use the berm for momentum. on long flat turns I keep the gas steady and try to grip the track as best I can . I PERSONALLY stay out of the ruts only because if they are deep you will track in them and have less control to pass ie. once you are in youre in. as of right now I'm too much of a pu$$ to take the woops hard and skim. It doesnt look raptor suspension friendly. Last time at the trachk this chick on an old 250r smoked me through the woops cause she had this machine all set up for MX I guess the better suspension and LOWER STANCE really helps.... My only advice for jumps is DO NOT let off the throttle while approaching or youll be hating life. the last time I did that I ate the top of a double from about 6 feet up and it hurt I lost momentum because I thought I was going to fast over the hit... GAS IT

I used to double or triple the whoops, but they took them out, at Jack Frost, so I am whoopless!
