FruDaddy said:Supercross jumps are usually in the 3-6 foot high range, not that you should be modeling your track after supercross stuff, that height range is usually good. keep them moderately short until you are comfortable jumping, 20-40 feet, but leave room to go longer later. Don't leave sharp edges on your landings, always roll them over.
When you start riding them, run a gear or 2 high. 40 feet is very possible in 1st gear, but the flight is more predictable in 3rd. There is no rule about this, just something I try to explain to beginners. Learn to control the bike before trying to progress. Basically, low, short, forgiving landings, and higher gearing is the safest way to start.
