[QUOTE="cr250john, post: 107739, member: 18838"] [b]Learn bike control FIRST[/b] Josh I have two sons (12 & 14) that started riding last year on XR100's. They now ride CR80's and are getting better every week. If you are a new rider, learn to ride the bike well in various track conditions first. Bike control is an important step to jumping the bike. Learn how to use all five (yes there are five) controls together. Practice gripping the bike with your legs/knees for a better feel. Don't try to learn everything at once. Practice ONE new thing at a time and practice it until you do it well then move on to the next. Now... I too am a bit scared of jumping and I'm 49 years old. I think this is because I started riding my CR250 last year and tried jumping BEFORE I really had good control over the bike and crashed hard twice in a month. That put a damper in my confidence but I'm getting better as time goes on. So... Start off learning bike control. Jumping is just an extension of that control later on. Want so see my kids web pages? Click their names below. [url=http://www.geocities.com/dirtbikemx/]Matt Age-14[/url] [url=http://www.geocities.com/mxdirtbike/]Ryan Age-12[/url] Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
