Ide love to get a Banshee or a Raptor. I realy cant decide.I love to fly but I hear the Banshee is way nose heavy and is a pain in the *** to jump also I hear a Banshee is **** on tripple jumps. Im all for 2 strokes and would love a Banshee. But I have to say if its a bad jumper and bad on trails I think Ill go with the Raptor.Any help would be much appricated

I wouldn't say the banshee is nose heavy.
Just give it gas right before take off. The "big" jumps on the site were the toughest yet. It wasn't neither long or very high (15 feet long and 7 high) but there was no downhill landing. Bottoming hard each time, but (except pipes) it toughed well, and was really stable...I could land a bit sideways and it continued straight.
The takeoff zone was pretty steep and I had to give it full gas (in 1st gear) to have the right balance in the air. But it was pretty steep.
I rather believe that it's a question to get used to your machine, whatever it is.

Whatever quad the Kangaroo Kid happens to be on is the best.

I am the best jumper. Well, if you have a 250r, you already have the best jumper. But, on topic, my 400 is really easy to jump. Doesn't do anything weird on take off or in the air. Never seen a Raptor jump though.

That would be a 250r but the best jumper is no doubt a motorcross bike.Now those guys get some serios AIRTIME.Who agrees with the Tim dogg on this one??
