Message: [QUOTE="bikepilot, post: 919732, member: 56976"] I am not completely sure I understand your question, but it sounds like you are having trouble gaining a proper atitude in the air. That is, the front end is to high on jump A and too low on jump B. There are two main factors that affect the aditude of the bike in the air. First, is riding style. Your weight distribution, power applied to the rear wheel and the amount you preload the suspension on the jump face make a big difference. Second, is suspension settings, more rebound damping tends to make the respective end of the bike stay lower as you get less spring effect from the suspension. In my experence, Huskys tend to jump more nose down than most bikes. To compensate for this I use a little more throttle on take off and try not to pre-load the rear suspension too much. A few clicks in on the rear rebound adjuster also will keep the rear end lower, but may cause the suspension to pack in bumpy sections or whoops. Obviously, you can reverse thise to get the opposite affect. Its typically easier to hit a jump at a constant speed standing up than to accelerate off a jump and seat bounce (sitting down) to get the needed height. Of course this requires that you have plenty of room before the jump. Also, the brakes and throttle have a pronounced affect while in the air due to the rotational inertia of the wheels/tires. To lower the front end pull in the clutch and tap the rear brake, to raise the rear end tap the front brake, to lower the rear end twist the throttle. good luck and happy flying:) [/QUOTE]
