[QUOTE="Okiewan, post: 92132, member: 16119"] Those saying not to chop the throttle; I would like the hear the definition of "chopping"... As far as body position and rear brake and reving... watch McGrath as an example, (watch closely). While he may not be the fastest this year, he's still one of the smoothest, agreed? He RARELY touches the brake or or panic revs. It's all body positon and throttle control. If you are on steady power, the bike will not try to go nose high. This assumes you compensate body position to the angle of the jump face. As mentioned, the steeper the face, the more forward you need to be. IMHO (for what it's worth), "shutting off" the gas as you just left the face (rear has cleared the face), works in a similar fashion to the rear brake, although not as noticable. If you have good body position, normally you will fly flat. This effect is magnified on a 4-stroke (more engine braking) And big bores. It's a lot easier for me to move back to raise the front, than it is to move forward to lower the front. Right before I land, I'm on the gas hard which will drop the rear and soak up some of the hit. Then again, I could be completely wrong. Done that before. :confused: And... you should listen to Gomer, he jumps bigger than me, course, he crashes a lot too :p [/QUOTE]
