Default Jumping your quad

OK, I need some help here, I've been doing to some bigger and bigger jumps lately and have a problem with it. I always seem to have the quad leaning far forward or backward, can't get anywhere near a regular jump. SO, how are you supposed to jump? what about coming up to the jump? any details of info appreciated[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img], thanks

Well the way i do it is to let off the gas a little before the jump and accelerate up the face hullthrottle to give give me some lift and if my front end is to high just lean a little forward!It all depends on the landing though......

Throttle control is very important if you hit the jump with too much throttle your front end will be high,not enough throttle and your backend will be too high.

Once in the air if you front end is too high tap the rear brake and it will drop the front(best to pull in clutch so as to not stall engine while in the air),if the front is too low pin the throttle and it will bring the back down.Start with small jumps first.
