It's all about smooth power delivery and suspension.

The e-line lighting coil really helps a bike hook up.  Supposedly even better than a flywheel weight because the magnets smooth out the power.  Great performance improvement for  nasty trails.

Less high speed compression damping is good for rocks & roots.

I find a steering damper helps you stay in control on a brutal, technical climb.

An adjustable clutch is a nice addition that will allow you to take out a little of the slop in the clutch after a bout of abuse.

2nd gear and clutch abuse is usually better than 1st gear.  If you have to drop down to first (not uncommon with a MX gear box), commit to it, as hesitation will kill your momentum.

On a bad climb or obstacle, if you have to choose between good form or keeping momentum, choose momentum.

Picking your bike up and trying again burns energy like a wildfire.  So choose your line carefully.

Do not target fixate - Look past the problem area.
