I don't hit any jumps fullbore till I have atleast rolled up it then I will know how it will throw me, just takes experence. you should learn how to handle you quad in the air and set up for the jumps before you take it to the track.

if you stay on the gas after you become air born you will go nose up, but if you let off before you get airborn you will go nose down.

try gasing it all the way up the the jump with just a little gas snap at the top, you should usually fly flat.

wasen't trying to be rude, sorry if it sounded that way.

Practice, practice , practice. Find a jump that you can make with confidence. Then start trying to control the qud in the air. Jumping is not easy even though some guys make it look that way. There are a lot of things you can do to make the quad respond to a jump ( throtle, breaks, preloading the shocks and a lot of body english) but you have to be able to use one or more of these techniques without thinking about it and that takes practice. If you try jumps that are beyond your ability you will end up crashing and develope a fear of jumping. That will lead to more crashes. And always have someone on hand with a video camera. Maybe you will make it on Real TV or they can call an ambulance for you.
