basic jumping technique

[QUOTE="Quinton, post: 433368, member: 34503"] Definately take your time. I just learned the hard way. I had a 91 CR125 in 1993 and could do just about anything with it on my freinds little track we made in the woods (long jumps, vertical jumps, no hands, table top, kick right leg over the gas tank & off to the left). I was pretty good for only riding with one other person. Now I have a 92 CR250 and it dumped me the first time out. I went up a 8-9' table top and "burped" the throttle at the top like I used to do on my 125 and it launched. Front fender was in my face & I was to shocked to remember to slam on the rear brake. I can't imagine how hard it would be to learn on a 426!!! Just in the past couple days jumping is coming back to me. The best advice I can give is jump in 2 or 3, keep it steady, & slightly compress the shocks. If you don't compress them somewhat (like you're going for a b-ball rebound) the bike will in air and you will be slightly off of the foot pegs. If you compress it, it will come up to you and feel nice and snug. [/QUOTE]
