[QUOTE="David Rocci, post: 1204973, member: 76697"] Thanks for the info about pulling the clutch. The problem I have is that I panic when I'm mid-air and cannot correct....so I crash. I wrecked REALLY hard a few times last season and I'm little chicken to go hard this year. I've been out twice and my confidence is picking back up... BUT, I find myself leaning far up on the bike when I stand for the jump. I find the ass of the bike hangs low and I'm almost verticle a lot. That's why I was asking about the brake tap. The biggest problem is that when I'm mid-air, I have the 'oh ****' moment and freeze. As SOON as I land I know I should have hit the brake to correct it. My first assessment for this position mid-air is that I'm accelerating too much into the face of the jump and that I need to position my body more in the middle of the bike... BUT, when I do that I tend to feel like I'm going to lose control of the bike or if I lean in the middle to middle-rear, I get whiskey throttle when I land...and then crash. What I'm realizing as I run more laps at various tracks is that the face conditions of the jump are never perfect... there is rarely enough time to get a consistent speed before the jump and some are tipped, lipped or pocked and it flings the bike in different directions...BUT, I panic, freeze and cannot correct when I'm in the air. Sorry for the long post. HELP! :) -dave [/QUOTE]
