[QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 646491, member: 20280"] I see a lot of varying advice on here but didn't see anyone mention some of the basics. I agree with the ones that suggest starting out on a medium size tabletop, a real short jump has a tendancy to kick the rear of the bike up if you don't hit the jump with enough aggression. Anytime you jump (unless you are seat-bouncing which is a more advanced jump) you'll need to make sure you are standing as you go up the ramp. I found it easiest to hold a constant throttle in a higher gear all the way up the jump and then let off as the bike leaves the ground. Make sure you are still standing and in the attack position (knees bent, back slumped like you have bad posture) and grip the bike with your knees and ankles. You should be able to see your front number plate as you are coming up the jump. As you land be forward on the bike and still in the attack position and land on the gas. By landing with the gas on the bike will not bounce as bad so you won't get tossed over the bars. It'll help the bike sqaut and stick instead of pogoing. I've head it a thousand times and my experience is that in most cases it's true, when in doubt gas it. Happy jumping [/QUOTE]
