Message: [QUOTE="RM_Dude, post: 195456, member: 24134"] OK so I'm doing pretty well at jumping while on the throttle. I'm confident doing jumps of 50 feet or so 'on the pipe'. My problem is those jumps which have such a large run-up that you need to be completely off the throttle or even on the brakes. The only way I know to jump is accelerating completely off the face. I suppose this is just another thing that requires practice so I intend to work on it within the next few days on a tabletop. Any tips on this subject? The idea of no throttle scares the s**t out of me :scream: but I have to learn this in order to keep up. How far should I lean back to hold the front up with no throttle, are we talking all the weight you can get on the rear and pull on up on the bars? I ride a 99 RM125 with the classic Suzuki clutch drag so I don't think holding the clutch will eliminate engine braking although it doesn't have much engine braking anyway. [/QUOTE]
