Message: [QUOTE="alanreeves, post: 203151, member: 25864"] There are different ways to hit a jump but to go far you should follow a few simple points: you need to ba ACCELERATING smoothly from the flat all the way up the face of the jump. you need to load the suspension as the bike meets the ramp by pushing down on the pegs and keeping your body rigid, as the bike is pushed up toward you you feel the force build up untill the suspension nears the bottom of its stroke (this stores loads of energy in the springs which flies you longer) and reduces the effective angle of the ramp. as your front wheel leaves the ramp try to "row" your body backwards, this will help keep the rear shock loaded as long as possible as the rear tire leaves the lip and prevent a hard front wheel landing hope this helps...
