overjumping

if you over jump something and land in the "flats" do you think it is better to land both wheels at the same time or rear wheel first?

If you're going to flat land, get on the gas hard right before you land, that will drop the rear wheel and you won't launch over the bars quite as easily.

If you have any questions about it, watch Speed Channel tomorrow about 6 pm I think.. Peoria TT is going to be on.

Those guys know how to land a big jump on the flat.

well, any time i have a jump with flat reception i land on the back wheel first. gas it hard to stiffen the suspension like indy had said will do the trick.

i over shot a like 60ft jump a while back, i landed down in the flat both wheels at the same time, and did not gas it when i landed. i hurt my ankle and couldnt walk on it for like 3 days, and than i was wondering. i have heard of gassing it when you land but i forgot to do it in this situation, so i guess the answer is rear wheel first and gas it than.

Gas it right before you land not right after you land... Just don't do it if your front end is already up high... If that's the case pull the clutch in and tap the rear brake then you can gas it right before you land... This will bring the rear wheel 2 the ground first and distribute the force of land more out instead of all coming down
