Message: [QUOTE="Marshall76, post: 1092911, member: 71693"] Sitting or standing is a matter of preference for the particular jump itself. If it's out of a corner like in supercross you may want to remain seated when going into the jump to allow the centrifical force of your body to compress the rear shock and help spring you off the jump. If you're heading into a jump from a straight with good speed then I would stand and compress the shock just before your tire hits the jump and spring up with it. That will give you a great launch. And if you endo in the air.... Gas it.... And if you wheelie in the air just hit the rear brake. If you get sideways.... The slightest bit of pressure applied to the footped should bring you back. As far as grip... I tend to grip with my thighs and knees. Other than that... It's all trial and error and will probably come to you best without thinking. Just be confident and never doubt your abilities and they will shine through on their own. [/QUOTE]
