[QUOTE="RMFanatic, post: 119409, member: 22310"] [b]seat jumping[/b] I am no pro, but I have to agree with Okie if you are not carefull you will rearrange your face. I have a CR-500 and a CR-250 and I have discovered that the bike under you will respond a lot better if you are standing through the majority of your approaches. The mono is a lot more capable of setting the bike than you are, if it is compressed all the way to the jump it is more likely to nose you over if you are not over revving. I will follow with the fact that I to have found that atleast one jump on every track I ride works better with a seat jump, but I also find that in most cases it leaves you with a lousy set up for the next jump and on a timing section you may well end up with a face plant. The next time you ride try an experiment, plant your bike in second or third gear and never go over half throttle through the whole track, don't let your rear end hit the seat until you have actually started into the burms and get back up on your feet as quickly as you exit the burm. I try to do this for a couple of laps just about every time I go practice it's part of the "perfect practice makes perfect" principle. I think that after a few trips to the track trying this method may resolve the question for you without any further input. Gordon Spraggins Mxr's for Christ PS I could'nt find as good a deal on an RM as I found on both of the CR's so I guess I should change to CRFanatic eh. [/QUOTE]
