[QUOTE="cr250john, post: 50075, member: 18838"] That's ME. Just this weekend I hesitated on a small (very small) double, cased the face of the jump which tore my hand off the throttle. I was able to hold on with my knees and steer with my left hand enough to roll over the remaining portion of the jump. The wrist still hurts some today but continued riding the rest of the day. I have been able to try the "panic rev" to bring the front end up but haven't had enough "air time" to try the brake tap yet. (I'm Skeered) On the other hand, my two boys (12 & 14) ride CR80's and CLEARED a big (to me anyhow) 20 foot table top for the first time. I was on the MX track at the jump watching them when I heard them BOTH (one behind the other) roll on the throttle at the face of the jump. Well to my amazement they cleared it. Now I can change MY shorts. Maybe the kids can give the "old man" a lesson or two - ya think? I still hesitate on the face of the jump which causes me all kinds of trouble. I just can't bring myself to keep the throttle on. Fear of the unknown I guess - or is it old age? (I'm 48) So Jeremy.... I guess the best answer I can give you is body position on "take-off" and practice-practice-practice. That's what I need. ------------------ cr250john Mine '00 CR-250 - '95 Yamaha Virago XV-750 Kids '01 CR-80's [/QUOTE]
