well the easiest way is to go off a big jump. a steeper jump works good too. also compress the shocks and release before you go off the jump. give it a burst of throttle when your about to goo off too.

Ride it off a cliff for one, will get you huge air! My second choice is hit something really fast. That always works.


Just kidding man, seems to be a funny question though, if you don't know how, then maybe you ought not to be getting any:-)

Big speed + Big jump = Big air and maybe big crash.

I will be getting pictures up soon, and I get the best air on Recon. Better than a friend on his 300EX. Recon isn't good for jumping, but i'm dang good at jumping it.

I suggest watching reruns of Evil Knievel jumping trains for 24 hours straight while listening to 8 track tapes of Black Sabbath singing Elvis and drinking warm day old Bud from yesterdays party. Only then will the true answer come to you. Just Kidding, gradually work yourself up to it. Eventually you will get higher and higher, just dont do too much at a time.
