Default trailblazer for jumping?

Well Im clearing w 40' gap at the race track an have been at leart 10 feet in the air. once you get the saspension figured out an the chain an tensioner working right can do some pretty big junps. I have been racing mine MX for 6 years now an no frame problems. I tend to go throught 2 sets of struts a year. I usally don't have to pull the front end up an now with me reedcage convertion I am usally letting off comeing to the jump an then getting back to power just before take off. There is 2 Trailblazer doing this jump the other is a 96.Jumping take practice. I have also seen 400 sports making the jump.

the tb isnt the best quad for jumping but it does pretty good but it would be a good idea for you to get the fox shock for the back and harder springs on the front if your going to be jumping over 5 feet in the air. I used to jump mine alot in a lil track me and my friend made in his field the most i ever did was about 6-7 feet in the air and jumping over 3 four wheelers and went about 25 feet long and when i landed i was in a nose dive but i made it but it pulled back so much on the a arms that is snapped the brss bushings and the higest i ever went on a jump was prob 8 feet landing on flat ground ----didnt feel that good landing

yea definitly get the chain tensioner, i was there the day badasss250rider broke his chain, i mean he hit the ramp at half the speed i was and it broke after about 7 jumps so i pulled him home with my HONDA 440ex and we fixed the chain with a master link off a YAMAHA tx750 motorcycle, so my advice would be to get the chain tensioner before you jump again, unless you get your jollies off by buying chains

Definitely get the chain tensioner and the fox rear shock. Mine is not
as light weight as x_scrambler3 but that helps also. My track has 2
jumps built on it. I can routinely jump 4 1/2 - 5 feet high and land
20 - 25 feet with no problems.
NEVER grab the front brake while you are in the air, it nose dives
really fast!! LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have found out something intressting with me useing the gearing I have an my rear shock setup I don't need the chain tensiner. There is not much slack left in it to jump.
