[QUOTE="berm buster, post: 69712, member: 22786"] roosterboy, What usually causes the rear tire to "kick up", is that the rebound damping on the rear shock is too fast. Look at it this way, when you are on the base of the jump, your body weight is pushed or compressed into the suspension, at the top of the face, gravity unweights the suspension or in this case the rear shock and "shoots" the rear end up very quickly. Which causes that nasty front wheel endo we are trying to avoid! So if we want to reduce the speed of the rear shock, we need to increase the damping or in other words, slow down the speed of the rebound damping. This will let the bike rise verticaly, rather than just the rear end. Also, do watch out for kickers at the top of the jump face, this will cause problems for even experienced riders. Hope this helps. ------------------ "Need any help,...Oh, all I can get. [/QUOTE]
