[QUOTE="motometal, post: 161929, member: 24727"] I'm not sure exactly what technique you are using. Here is what I would do, but it may clash with your present style, or you may not be comfortable with it. 1. Go faster thru the corner (switchback)! You have to go way faster than the bigger bikes to make up for the dif. in power! Rail that sucker, and come out hot. Get on the gas sooner than you can (ha ha). This is just as important as anything! 2. Make sure you are leaning back enough to get max traction as you exit the switchback. Even if you are spinning just a little bit, this will help. 3. It sounds like you are jumping in fourth. Have you tried clutching the crap out of it all the way up the ramp? This will give you max lift. 4. Preload with your legs. Remember, the rear end plays a role too. If the forks are compressing way down with this, it could make the bike a bit unpredictable. More compression damping could help, but it may not be worth changing this just for one jump. [/QUOTE]
