[QUOTE="MXP1MP, post: 34279, member: 20581"] Don't forget to squeeze the sides of the bike with your legs!! maybe this will give you some confidence. My first mx race I went to I was totally nervous specially never being on a real MX track before. To make things worse I was ridding an 86 CR125 with a worn out shock. The shock was all rebound and the only compression coming from the spring really. I managed to clear my 1st time ever on this track in practice a 60 foot table top jump on the first pass. I wasn't able to do the double jump even though it looked easy enough, due to my shock and a wicked speed robbing whoop section before it. My friend told me whenever I landed from a jump it looked like my bike bottomed out hard and had no rear suspension. I agree if you jump something and clear it do it every lap! and make sure your elbows and knees are loose! Do not do the death grip thing on the handle bars either use your legs to grip! once I got it down by the 5th lap I was just holding onto the bars to keep the front wheel straight but this was also due to the major arm pump I had and that I could barely hold on but I didn't need to with my arms only my legs hope this helps.
