Oh, by the way. maybe someone can answer a question I have. When you in the air, how do you get one side of the quad to go lower and the other side higher? I'm talking about like left and right side. Not front and back. I'm not sure what exactly the trick is called. You see a lot of pros do it when they do nac nacs. Or maybe its just part of the nac nac. But it looks really cool and i want to learn how to do it. Do you have to turn the bars then push down on one side with your foot and arm and pull up with your arm one the other side? It seems like its gonna take a lot of force to get it to move and plus you have to get it to go back. But i have seen some amatures do it pretty good. Oh well. If anyone knows please let me know. I may just have to try it.

If nesesscary, tug on the handlebar that you want to go up up, and push down on the side you want to go down. It's mostly weight! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ok..... obviously your in the stand up position when your in the air. Someone who lands with their butt on the seat is asking for a hurt tailbone. That sucks though becuase I dont weight that much. I know it has to do with weight. But is there some other trick to it? Think about this. If you are trying to get the left side lower turn the bars to the left so when you push down on the bars they are closer to the center of your body and easier to push. Would this actually help or am I just making crap up and thinking it will actually help. lol

just a guess strongtyerYFZ, you say turn the handlebars to the side, would it also help to throttle it or brake while you have the handlebars turned, to give the quad a kind of KICK to lean it over, im probably talking crap here but i understand where your coming from though

Actually, isn't it the other way around? I know I've always heard it the other way around. The only way to ever effectively test this would be by getting massive air. You know, like a 7-10 second hang time.

When in the air and you feel the quad "dipping" foward, hit the rear brakes, which causes the back to go down at a faster rate than just tugging the handlebars. When your in the air, and you feel like the back is going too far back, then hit the throttle.

HOW TO JUMP
i do a lot of jumps on my raptor, i hit the jump at a nice speed [ to jump a car i wold do 15-20mph, then rev to about 4000rpm at top of ramp n pull back a little. when i want to land wheels fist i rev it in mid air, it pulls the **** end down. i jump leaning and puliing the quad back as its comfy n i then dont nose dive. but you dont have to lean fr back. have fun lol.
