[QUOTE="motor86, post: 50221, member: 16957"] I remember my first real jump. It was about a year ago on the first day I got my KDX. I was riding it up to a 45 degree slope that went up maybe 3 feet. I was just coasting up over it and maybe lifting the front tire. I was going half 1/4 throttle in first. So I wondered what would happen if I hit it at half throttle in 1st. I came up to the jump at half throttle, but I forgot the first gear part. I was in second. I was going up the ditch and gunned it. I must have flown 4 feet in the air, and only about 8 feet foreward, all while pointing almost strait at the sky. When I got in the air, I paniced and let off the gas, then as I came down I hit with the rear wheel first and landed hard. The front end started to come down but I somehow panic-grabbed the throttle and floored it. It lifted the front end back up again and I rode a wheelie until I could get my head together and let off the gas. Wow! I will always remember that one. My brother-in-law watched it happen and was laughing too! It was pretty funny now that I think about it. But it was one scary ride for about the 4 seconds that it lasted. ------------------ motor86 85' KDX200(mine-for sale) 96' CR250R(mine) 81' YZ125(Dad's) 81' CM400 (my street bike) [url="http://www.geocities.com/motor86_cr250/home.html"]Motor86's home page[/url] [/QUOTE]
