Message: [QUOTE="SteveinSpringHill, post: 1175234, member: 70737"] Attack position, elbows up to absorb and squeeze with knees to control the bike. Up the face in the powerband and land with power on always.

[url]http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=02UH003D000016&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1[/url] It takes a lot of seat time (and probably ground time also :bang: ) to get the feel and confidence for jumping. The biggest problem for my son was staying on the gas for landings, the spinning back wheel will pull you back straight again. A lot of beginner kids have a sketchy jump and freeze up and let off the gas which leads to bad swap and crash. Power is your friend in this situation. [/QUOTE]
