[QUOTE="HajiWasAPunk, post: 1020043, member: 62723"] I've always thought that the back brake should be used to bring the bike nose down in the air, though I haven't until recently felt comfortable enough trying that. However, our instructor told me unequivocally to NOT use the back brake, especially on 4 strokes. He maintains I need to get out over the handle bars more to brink things regular and that back brake technique is no longer used, especially on thumpers. The instructors are hesitant to use words like NEVER or ALWAYS since there are so many circumstances out there, but he was pretty adamant about this, saying you also could stall the bike mid air and have disaster when you hit the ground.
