[QUOTE="Kwackers, post: 50218, member: 19865"] Like some others here I don't claim to be a jumper but I can remember my first jump well because it was not long ago. My advice would be attack position, 2nd gear, not too fast so that you then feel comfortable to accelerate up the face of the jump. If you start off fast then you will have a tendency to panic and throttle off just at the wrong moment at the top of the jump. It is the acceleration more than the speed that determines your take off angle.Watch others and pick a jump that seems to offer a long floating jump rather than a high jump. My first jump ? Too fast, panicked, throttled off, kissed the front wheel, somehow fell back onto the seat, gassed it while falling, wheelied and flipped over backwards ! Couldn't stop laughing for ages. Great feeling on each jump thereafter and never stopped learning. The most important piece of advice, and the hardest, relax. ------------------ [/QUOTE]
