but I have to have that control over the machine for me to feel comfortable enough to push it to new levels-

I think roadie is missing the "no fear" part of his brain - some of the **** he does
I think the biggest issue with that jump in the video was driver error. When you hit a jump slowly it's more likely for the nose to go down as gravity+the rear wheels driving up the jump tend to push the nose down. If you goose the throttle going into a jump the front end is more likely to stay up and keep the quad/UTV more even for landing.
