Where should your body weight be while jumping

 

Depends on your body weight and which quad. Most folks sit at the rear of the seat but you have to see what works best with your quad. Also, you don't want to be on the throttle hard as you leave the lip of the jump or the back tires will push the front end up too far. Start with small jumps and work up, it's the only way to keep your quad and bones in one piece!!:-)

 

you do have to be on the throttle a little though or you will nosedive. I keep my weight centered.

 

you will know when your jumping right! you will beable to be were ever you want on the quad! like roost said stay central and relaxed try not to tense.

and don't sit so far back that it looks like your going to fall off, it just looks stupid![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I just kindda Center my weight, and Have the RPMS nice and high,
Liek if you are hitting it in 4th at low rpms, Try doing it in 3rd and higher rpms, i find that this works great for me!

 

it all depends...If you find ourself nose diving you want to move your weight more to the back to try to get the back end down...if your nose goes up....move your weight forward...same with left and right.

 

with a three wheeler you gott be careful. But its about the same as a quad.

 

I think it's different for everybody. You gotta find what works for you. I rotate, for example. Start out leaning forward, and slowly move back, to pitch the quad and give it arc in the air.

 

from jumping on my beartracker im used to sitting in the center on the jumping, then shifting back in the air, gets a nice soft landing.


Its a helluva lot easier on the warrior though lol...now i come down on the ground at about a 45* angle.
