Message: [QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 199155, member: 16469"] Last weekend I came close to wadding up Ivan's 250F on several occasions because of an appreciable headwind. The first time I jumped the 60' double at the track (1st lap, I should've waited) I got up in the air, the wind hit me, and it felt like I stopped. I cased the landing badly, bounced up on the bars and luckily got it under control enough to go around the next turn instead of over it. The second lap I compensated by staying on the gas harder and ended up with the front end way high. I think that aerodynamics can play a part, but I doubt I'll ever have the presence of mind nor the ability to get up in the air, realize I'm overjumping, then deliberately whip it sideways to create moe drag. If anything I probably pull myself through the air farther by the large inhalation that follows the realization of impending doom! :scream: [/QUOTE]
