[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 49633, member: 20280"] f you taught yourself to chop the throttle you can teach yourself not to. If you think you’re leaning forward but not sure, take Moo’s suggestion and read the front number plate and you’ll be sure that you are in fact leaning forward. Take it slow the 1st few times till you get the feel but keep a constant throttle. Be sure you’re in the attack position standing, grip the bike with you ankles and knees and arch your back so if you come up short your legs will absorb what the suspension doesn't, this will keep from hurting your back. Keep your elbows up and grip the bars from the edge like you’re reaching for a doorknob and keep your wrists level. As you get more comfortable, increase your speed and feel how the bike reacts. You can maneuver the bike in the air with body movement, if the nose is too low gas it and it will come up, if it's high pull in the clutch and tap the rear brake and the front will come down. A table-top is the best kind of jump to learn on unless you way over jump it. :) Follow up with us and let us know how it goes. ------------------ "Nature Boy" [/QUOTE]
