You'll just wanna make sure you DO pull in the clutch when you give the tap so you don't kill the engine.
Do you NEED to pull in the clutch. Not necessarily, if you're only giving it the slightest bit of a tap, probably not... but killing your engine mid-flight would make you nose-down a ton. Not good.
I'm one of those people. With proper body position it is very rare that you would ever need to use the rear brake.JD_MXRacer said:i have heard from a lot of people to not use the back brake too often.
Engine "breaking" is when your engine turns into more pieces than it started with. :rotfl:nickman1209 said:im not familar with engine breaking what is it?
SteveinSpringHill said:Continually tapping the back brake is a crutch to using proper body position and technique. Squeeze with knees and push the bike down, arched back and elbows up to better control the bike upon landing. STAY OVER THE BARS!
My little guy now starts to loosen up and let the bike float under him a bit always being mindful of keeping the weight centered or forward.
Upon landing he resumes the attack position and lands with the gas on.

I have purposely landed front wheel first when kicked sideways in the air. My thinking, and it has worked for me, is that I can land with the front wheel travelling in the right direction and the rest of the bike seems to folllow it. When I land sideways on the back tire it tries (sometimes successfully) to slam the bike down on the "forward" side.whenfoxforks-ruled said:Nose down in the air, yes. Landing on the front end first, NO! Except when the 70 degree landing is in a corner! If you are crooked in the air, you damn well better hope the back wheel hits first! And on the gas, until front wheel drive comes!
