Default How to jump.

be relaxed and you have to comitt ur self to the jump if u back down in the middle thats when the worst will happen ( about 2 weeks ago i was at the local motocross track and there was this like triple type just but it wasnt huge and i went to go triple jump the whole thing instead of just double so i went for it and wasnt goin fast enough and hit the back of the triple and my arms buckeld and when my face it the handel bars my helmet lifted up and my face smacked off of the bars and i bit right through my bottom lip it was a sight to see) so just brace ur self for the landing and ull be fine

I think that may be the most important thing of all. You can correct the position of your body and your quad once you leave the ground but you cant speed up.

if you watch any pros at like unadilla its kool to see how they do it. most likly your feet will frift off the pegs. its normal, so when you reach your highest point your feet will sink back down on the pegs.always keep your body weight on the rear end so you dont nosedive. if your front end starts to nose dive just nail the throttle and lean back like fat joe

thanks man i always hate when your feet are off the pegs for the landing cuz the quad hits then you body hits instead of the suspension soaking up the landing. just tryed to prevent that for someone learning how to jump lol


edit ; after typing all that i realize you were prolly talkin about the fat joe part [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Alright , thanks for all the help, next time I go up to my summer house I'm going to try it out. I did it once, there was this sort of bowl in the ground and I just gave it gas out, didnt let go of the throttle so I went nose up and when I landed I fell forward and my feet slipped off the pegs. I'm going to try it your guys way after I get the nerfs, which hopefully should be soon.

MIke.
