[QUOTE="HajiWasAPunk, post: 978556, member: 62723"] Roll over it at first and then progressively get faster, but keep your technique good each time. If your technique starts to fail at a certain speed, then don't go any faster until you can do it right at that speed. The things to do (even if you're just rolling the jump) are stay standing up and forward (head and chest out over the bars), accelarate smoothly well ahead of the jump and stay consistent on the throttle through it, and finally when you're coming off the ground get on the gas the instant your back on the ground (this softens the impact a ton, not to mention you'll be going faster this way). The last point was a big one for me, I'd get in the air and freeze up and then hit the ground like a sack of bricks! Our riding instructor got on that right away. BTW, a riding class or 3 is probably is a great idea. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
