Message: [QUOTE="tedkxkdx, post: 775909, member: 39245"] I feel like this when I back out of going the entire distance of the jump. Although speed is involved, it is power that gets you the distance. When approaching the jump you have momemtum and if you are slightly accelerating you have power. If you keep that acceleration constant and hit the ramp you will be slowing down on the ramp because you were slightly accelerating. **** Now don't grab a handful of throttle on the bike. What bike do you ride? But when going up a hill or ramp your bike is now fighting other gravitational forces and thus slows you down and robs power from the bike. I think you really need some one to video tape you going over these jumps so you can see what is really going on. Landing on the flat off a ramp is a very hard landing. Landing on a table top is better and I hope you are not doing doubles since it does not sound as you are ready to tackle them. When guys land on the back side of jumps they are not getting the stopping forces of landing on flats. To improve the ride even more and feel less impact they land with the gas on. By having the gas on, the back suspension stays stiffer and then does not bottom you out. Plus your forward momentum is not slowed down either. I would like you to tell us if you are completing jumps such as the ones gomer has provided, how do they compare? Subscribe, and you can see my thumbnails in the previous post. I made the pictures specifically for you. [/QUOTE]
