Message: [QUOTE="Jeff Gilbert, post: 195562, member: 20280"] [b]I ride a 01 KTM 125[/b] When racing I have to hit the brakes hard on the face of practically every jump to prevent over jumping at my local track. I even find myself braking up the face of the jump but I always get back on the gas as I approach the end of the face right before I take off. I find it's not much different than being on the gas the whole way up the face except the suspension can react with more of a rebound, I guess from the preload of being on the brakes so hard. (did I make sence?) It's a wierd feeling to be going way too fast and brake so hard up the face and still have enough momentum to clear a jump. Depending if your'e either on the gas or "coasting" over a jump I would definantly be off the brakes before either tire leaves the ground. [/QUOTE]
