Hey,
I recently got my Yz 125 and have gotten comfortable on it and I can rip around on it on flat ground easy, I do small jumps and stuff ( I mean small ) and tomorrow I am going to a track that I used to go to on my Drz 125, So I know the track.
There is proper jumps there, I am going to attempt them tomorrow, I was wondering if there are any tips? Because at the moment this is my plan:
#1 do warm up laps avoiding jumps
#2 Go fast, hit the jump, try and balance the bike in the air, land.
I really need some tips ASAP please DirtRiders!
Thanks ALOT.

try searching this forum. Lots of people have asked the same question. But I guess my one tip would be to start with tabletops.

Thanks guys, I got lots of help from those, and from Watching 'Semics' Dvd (which has been posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/ktm21 ) After watching those I went out to the track today, First of all rolled over the jumps, then thought Id give it a shot and managed to start clearing them, I had cleared all of them except the 100ft and the 2 70fts then I ran out of petrol. But I definitely learned alot today and started getting good at jumping, just want to thank you all!
