Message: [QUOTE="windsormw, post: 807627, member: 55342"] I JUST GOT MY BIKE ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO . i am 24 and always had a bike up until the age of 15 , so a year ago i picked up my rm 125 . I wasen't to into racing i just wanted to get some air and have alot of fun . My main problem was just like ur's FEAR . The trick is just start small , get use to trying to keep the front end up when launching off the jump . There is no real secret to big jumps ( it takes big balls ) . Just get comfotable , my modavation was these little 18 year old punks @ the track . These kids were launchin there bikes. I figured if these young kids could do it so could i . @ 1 year of dirtbikin almost every week end ( weather permiting ) i don't do any of that "super-man stuff " but even now i can launch - er , but i am still scared every time i come up to a big kicker . Sure you fall off , and it hurts but try and stay on , if you think ur going to loose it on a landing ( nose down / front " way" up ) keep ur feet on the pegs . i don'tt know how many times i have come down for a landing and i swore i was gonna bail . On one final not if u don't got dirt-bikin boots , get em . My buddies hard headed thinkin just cost him about 4 weeks out of work . [/QUOTE]
