[QUOTE="jim7411, post: 774229, member: 48850"]
I see most guys at the track push the bike forward by extending their arms when they leave the face of the jump. I am obviously not a good jumper myself, but my body position always seems to be pretty much central or slightly forward.

So my question is: what does pushing the bike forward like that do? Does it just level the flight or does it make you go further?

I know that this is a pretty general question because of all the different types of jumps. But from what I see, the other guys are doing it pretty consistantly around the whole track.

I really don't seem to fly very far. I think that it is in my body positioning. By staying in the middle of the bike, I have a tendency to pull the bike up to me. So I pretty much go up and then drop straight down like a rock and land pretty hard.

Do I need to hit it faster and push the bike forward, then land with the gas on or what?

If you can give any suggestions I would appreciate it.
