Default predator 500

How do you guys find the predators? I just bought one and I am getting into ramping with it. I hit a ramp today and I over shot the landing ramp about 5feet and went about the same vertically!! I am pretty used to it but not the ramping part. What are your opinions on the predators, and do you have any suggestions for me ramping?

You probably need someone that knows what they're doing to set up the shocks for you. Alot more info on Predators at www.predatorowners.com

Slow down before you hit the ramp.
