High Lord Gomer said:3. An accomplished jumper can easily get 70-80+ feet out of a 250 in 2nd gear, but that is near peak power at high RPM. Continue what you are doing by shifting up to third well in advance of the jump, just work on continuing to accelerate. Having the engine at lower RPMs make it easier to control while learning. Ironically, as you progress and want to jump farther, you will start jumping in a lower gear so that you can launch with more power.

High Lord Gomer said:As an example, I swear that it feels like I am almost wound out in 2nd on my 450 to do this 70' double, but when you watch the helmet cam, it sounds like I'm barely on the gas (400K downloand, right-click, save-as):
Okiewan said:you won't see any pros (or truely fast guys for that matter) or freestylers blipping the throttle, like Gomer said, it's too hard to time right, every time. Miss it, you face plant. Nice solid, steady throttle please.
jrwhite said:damn that was 70'? didn't sound like you were even mid rev.
