[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 328464, member: 16469"] Using the front brake in the air is a bad idea for at least 2 reasons:[list=1] [*]Unlike the rear wheel, you cannot restart the front wheel spinning to counteract the effect if you drop the front end too far. On longer jumps with more air time you will see advanced riders actually seesaw the bike back and forth by alternately stopping and restarting the rear wheel. The trick is to get it's attitude right for landing and on longer jumps it is possible to drop the front end too far using the rear brake. [*]The gyroscopic behavior of a spinning front wheel can be used to help orient the bike in the air by turning the handlebars. If you stop the front wheel, you lose that ability.
