Default WHO ELSE LOVES JUMPING THE BIG V-FORCE

I TRY TO GO TO THE LOCAL MX TRACK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THE V JUMPS REALLY GREAT FOR ME. GRANTED IT BOTTOMS OUT ON THE LARGER JUMPS. IM HOPING TO GET SOME ELKAS OR A YFZ450 FROM SANTA. BOTH WILL IMPROVE MY JUMPING SKILLS. LOL. CHECK OUT MY JUMPING PICTURES. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I enjoy jumping the V too. I dont really have any problems with it bottoming out. Maybe im not jumping high enough or the fact that i only weigh 125 lbs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] . Who says kids can't have fun on the V?! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. Well i guess if your old enough to drive a car then you are not considered som much of a kid [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]. I love the way the V flys level through the air

I like to jump as well. It feels much more stable than my Raptor in the air. Lands a little harder though. I do bottom it out every now and then. I weigh about 165 lbs

ROCKSVFORCE, very NICE jump pics. For a guy that is new to ATVs and just bought a V-Force (can you tell I'm talking about me???) what are some tips on jumping the "V"? I first bought a Polaris Sportsman 700 and realized right away what I really wanted to do was get a little crazy and of course jump the bike......the Sportsman was NOT that kind of bike. Any input on how to start jumping and how not to kill yourself would be great. Thanks.

I used to love the look on peoples faces when I jumped the big VForce. That is until I came up short on a double and it threw me off. I did not get hurt but given the weight of the machine I could have been killed. Since then I have traded in the VForce for a YFZ450 and I feel much better about jumping the lighter machine. I do kinda miss the auto for trails though!

It does land a little heavy, and bottom out on occasion, but I still love to launch it.

At the sand dunes here in Utah it's possible to jump a long distance without getting high off the ground. I've jumped 39 feet distance while only 4-5 feet off the ground. The V does like to bottom out if you go high. So it's really not the best jumper.
