I've cleared about 15 feet on my Z250, 3rd gear, throttle pinned. I'm still too nervous to hit anything bigger or faster yet. I still have a problem with it nosediving.

 

biggest gap ive hit is a measured 142 ft.
i was wrapped out in 5th when i hit it.


ya right. i havent even got 2 wheels of the ground yet.

 

seven: nice pics, i can't wait til someone realizes that people on the west coast can race too and builds a track near me so i can start.

 

Pretty good pics seven, did the landings come out ok?

 

If your having a problem nosediving, you dont have enough torque coming off the ramp to keep the front end up, pipes/silencers should help you out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

or either keep that throttle pinned, and im not enev sure that would work. or u have to be giving it gas as u come off the tip of the jump.

 

Yeah, you want to stay on the throttle when you leave the jummp or the nose will take a dive, but also dont get on the throttle to hard or you will have the front end coming up to high so the landing will not be so smooth. Look at my pics I have a couple of pics of me clearing a double, on 1 or 2 of them I have to much throttle in mid air and the back end is kind of low. From take off to landing I was clearing in the 35-38 ft mark (we measured with tape), clearing the smaller/medium doubles at the local track is not hard I just need to get some technique down on it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I am on the throttle coming off of the jumps. Guess I just need to be on it more.

 

hmm i dunno i've jumped some pretty big stuff that i never measured... theres some good examples in my photo album tho!
