[QUOTE="FMX_novice, post: 151071, member: 21243"] Acceleration off the face of the jump determines how far you go, and your attitude off the face. If you are at 10,000rpms 3rd gear WOT and accelerating like madness towards the face your gonna go flying. However if your in 3rd 10,000rpms letting off the throttle on the face your gonna go 20-30% shorter. The pros use this to there advantage by going up to a jump that can be cleared in 3rd gear, in 4th. Then they hit there brakes on the face and clear it and go faster thru the straight. You want to use the landing of the jump to conserve energy and have gravity work for you like a downhill ramp to gain speed off of. make sure you dont crack the throttle in 1st because 33 horses pushing a gear that small makes you look like carey harts little brother.
