Message: [QUOTE="whenfoxforks-ruled, post: 1227370, member: 73147"] In my opinion,Most of the time when you are jumping in a mx race you need to get the rear wheel on the ground first or at the same time. Them split seconds landing on the front add up! Even drop in landings in corners,most of the time,even though the bike is pitched down you are just matching the angle! Slow motion a pro race. Landing on the front end is potentially the most dangerous crash you can get into,catapulted over the bars! I have always jumped on my in-steps. Using the balls of your feet sure sound like broken feet to me when you end up landing hard on that 100 foot jump! Quality of boots would matter also! I have done this in certain circumstances and it does incur extra movement to shift and brake when your toes are on the pegs! Being old and scared I am not about big jumps anymore and am really slamming short! It takes a lot of energy out of me and I am thoroughly enjoying walking! [/QUOTE]
