[QUOTE="nikki, post: 89300, member: 18126"] FC22 - it just takes LOTS of practice and bike time - my first season of [I]attempting[/I] to race MX was [b]very[/b] far from pretty. It helps a ton if you have someone to ride with who will do some of the jumps - and you can watch them do it (or have them do it on your bike) so you can see how it looks/sounds. It will all come with lots of time, practice, and confidence! Having a new bike will help a ton in the confidence department, too. And once you get really comfortable on that new pumpkin - you'll start flying and doing things you've never done before! Just like Blackhawk flying around the berm and keeping a pro rider behind her and Sarah riding with Danny Smith (that had to be really cool!!!) and Kali flying high with the encouragement of Debbie Mathews!! And KTMster - just getting both tires off the ground is a huge accomplishment! Kali - the biggest jump I ever did was in the same situation as yours - I went to a Junior Jackson class at the closest track to my house and he practically made me jump a big tabletop triple (60 feet - I think). He knew me and my bike could do it - so the encouragement was on! After trying several times - I finally got it all the way! Of course - he made me do it over and over again... and it was 10 pm at night - so I was getting pretty tired. Funny thing is I have raced that track twice since then and haven't tried to clear that jump again????? :think [/QUOTE]
