i own a 01 trailblazer 250 and whenever i hit jumps i have the problem of the fron end dropping to fats on me, the jumps are only about 3 foot buts its still hard on my arms, ive even tryed poppin harder on the throttle to get more lift when leaving jump but still dont help, even leaned all the back as far as i can go, anyone how to stop this or somethin i might be doin wrong?

 

Here's my best advice, get a real sport quad lol

Not trying to rag on ya, but those 250's are ok for this or that. If the fronts are bottoming out when landing, even when landing more on the rear tires then maybe you could replace the front shocks or put in new springs, maybe they're just worn out.

 

Hello phour20inwi. The Trailblazer is a great jumping quad. I regularly put mine 3-5 feet in the air and flat land it. If you land on the backside of a hill, you can go much higher. To jump it, you should hold the throttle open till after you land. If you let off on the throttle either prior to lift off or in the air, the front end may go down. Any change in throttle causes the quad to rotate around the rear wheels. It is how you can change the attitude of the quad in the air. Similarly, if you find the front too high, let off on the throttle or tap the rear brake to bring it back down.
I hope this helps,
Bryce

 

thanks for all the help, i will have to try your advice tomarow, thank again

 

I jump my 700 lb quad all the time. You just have to hit the throttle right as your going to leave the "ramp".

 

ah now i get you, you mean that no matter what you're unable to get the front end from nose diving when you jump, that's not too hard to fix, stay on the gas instead of wimping out and letting off.

 

Watch some of the pro's on video. You should see them "working" the brakes. If they don't have loud background music, you can hear them working the throttle too.
