Message: [QUOTE="KX85 rider, post: 1268976, member: 85456"] Ive only ridden my bike 5 times so far, so am not saying am any good or anything, but before you hit a jump-not sure if anyone else has said this-grip the bike really tight with your knees and like 'high lord gomer' said before, stand in a slightly crouched position. One mistake i made before i started griping the bike with my knees is jumping into the air but my feet flew up in the air slightly resulting in landing with my feet not on the footpegs so i was off balance-also i panicked and went straight for the front brake nd flew off my bike. You could also land on your back brake and thats no exactly what you want to happen so remember to grip the bike tight with your knees- i also find that my overall jumping has improved since starting to grip the bike with your knees. So yea, long story short, grip the bike with your knees and stay in a low crouched position. [/QUOTE]
