Message: [QUOTE="robwbright, post: 1087542, member: 60515"] Is it normal? YES. What can I do to overcome it? Pick a small one, jump it further and further until you're landing right at the base of the second jump. Note which gear and RPM range you're at. Hit it at about 1/2 a gear to a gear higher (depending on size of double) and you should clear it no problem. Make sure you overjump rather than underjump (although you can also get hurt overjumping, as I recently discovered). Also, find someone who is jumping the double already, follow them closely and hit it at the same speed. You should have no problem clearing it. After a couple hundred hours of riding you'll be able to judge the speed necessary for the really big ones. Till then, don't try it. :laugh: DO NOT get nose down and dive bomb into the face of a double. (Attached pic is my second attempt ever at a decent size double). [/QUOTE]
