[QUOTE="truespode, post: 328849, member: 29329"] Of course Travis is comfortable. He is an experienced rider and an experienced jumper. A person asking for jumping advice 99% of the time is NOT an experienced rider or jumper. Just b/c 1% of the riders can do it succesfully while doing a TRICK does not mean that it should be common practice (and I bet in a race situation it isn't common practice for Travis either). When helping others by giving recommendations you need to recommend things that will help them safely. The advice you have given is not safe advice. It is not what any motocross teacher would advise (see Gary Semics books-he says don't do it) for someone who isn't a seasoned rider with CONSIDERABLE skill and experience and even then I doubt they would recommend it for anything but a trick. I didn't accidentally grab it. I did it on purpose and the change in wheel spin upfront shot me forward on the bike. I was fortunate not to endo. When I did it a second time, this time tapping the REAR brake, I was able to use the throttle to get wheel spin and hit the ground with some throttle. This also reduces the harshness of the landing b/c you are able to continue with forward momentum. Ivan [/QUOTE]
