[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1315779, member: 77507"] It depends on the situation. You can use the throttle/brake to correct the bikes flight. Say you go foo the jump too hard on the gas and the front end goes way up on you, tap the brakes. If the opposite happens and you go off front heavy use the throttle to level it out. It's generally a good idea to land ON the gas. This will help the bike straighten out if necessary. Keeping a finger on the clutch to keep the engine from stalling while hitting the brake in the air is a good idea. Once you get some more seat time you will be able to tell how the bike will fly as you come up to the jump. Once you get a feel for that you can use body positioning to correct for it even before it happens. [/QUOTE]
