Message: [QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 49929, member: 20652"] I have a tough time with doing a seat bounce too. The timing is critical. The trick is to compress the suspension on the face of the jump and at the moment you get to the end of the take off ramp you release the suspension (by standing up) and as it rebounds it lofts the bike into the air. That’s where the timing comes in. When to begin the pre-load so you can unload it at the right time. You also have to be on the gas fairly hard so the rear end doesn’t kick up too high. Most people sit because it is easier to pre-load the rear shock. It’s harder to do when you are standing. This is an advanced technique that takes lots of practice. Done correctly you can increase the distance you jump at a slower speed. It is easier to do at higher speeds because the suspension compresses more at the face of the jump, but it will work at slower speeds. Off road riders use this technique to clear obstacles when all they have is a rock or small ramp to use as a jump. Practice, practice, practice…Have fun ------------------ Did I do the double? Ah,um...Sure did. I was right behind you! [url="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1500744"]My Pictures[/url] [/QUOTE]
