[QUOTE="rob3273, post: 980454, member: 63861"] hello everyone, I ran my first mx race this past Sunday, not too bad I guess other than my crash in practice LOL. There is this tight turn and right out of the turn a small double, i've jumped this double many of times on practice nights and had no trouble. I usually shift to 3rd out of the turn and it goes over smooth, but that day the track was very wet and as I was coming out of the turn in my mind I was thinking, if I shift to 3rd i'll not get enough rpms to make the jump so I left it in 2nd and rolled out of the turn. Right as I hit the up ramp the powerband hit and before I could think, I was looped out and on the ground (pretty hard I might add, LOL) I always thought to myself, if I wreck I hope it is backwards instead of endo because it won't hurt as bad, man was I wrong, LOL. I've got a huge not above my knee and it's a pretty purplish black color and my shoulder muscles are sore, LOL. My first crash, so i'm thankfull that it wasn't worse. Anyhow, should I have stayed in 3rd and tried to jump it underpowered or was it my inexperience not being able to control the bike jumping in the powerband? I always jump in 3rd, just because it seems to be more controlled to me. I've seen guys jump in 2nd though, how do they do it and keep from looping out like I did? I ride a 98 CR 125. Sorry for making this so long, I just like sharing my experiences with everyone. I LOVE THIS SPORT!!!!! Rob [/QUOTE]
