What's your "secret" on getting through the whoops?
 
Since most races are usually won by the person who gets through them better, I'd like to know what your secret is?

pretty much.

It helps if you have aftermarket suspension, too. ie shocks, a arms, etc...

I'm just a rookie MX racer but I'm finding that faster is definetely smoother in the whoops. Keep your weight back and stay on the throttle, better for me near the top of a gear than the bottom of the next.

it all depends on the track and the depth of the whoops...most ATV tracks are shallow and you can grab a fist full of throttle and lean/pull back. ocassionaly you come across a track that accomodates bikes and quads and the whoop section(s) can get deep and spaced further apart. here, i try and time myself and get a rythm going...and jump every other whoop.

try and get to the track your riding/racing a little earlier and see what the other riders are doing. take the time and understand the lines they are taking.

With the weight of my bike and myself, I just kinda cut right through them![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Kinda like a ice breaker running through a frozen river.

Gun it and lean back on small ones. Rhythm jump the big ones.

The first step is learning how to set up your suspension. get that right, then the whoops are a whole lot easier!
