[QUOTE="BigRedAF, post: 1276173, member: 58172"] Have you ever bunny hopped a bicycle? Same thing if done correctly. The purpose of raising a foot as you leave the jump face is too unload the suspension to get more height to clear a jump when you didn't hit it fast enough to clear it with normal technique. Sometimes on a double at a track out here I'll left my right heel up to the side plate after launching a double coming out of a corner with a very short run at the jump face. This just further assists the seat hop and gets the front end down for the landing. A lot of guys in general just lift a foot because they think it's cool, they're not really accomplishing anything. An other technique, one that I use for long tables with a shallow ramp is to hit the face stiff legged to compress the suspension fully allowing the rebound to get me high for the distance. Be careful if you try this on a short table with any speed or you will over jump and land flat and hard. [/QUOTE]
