Message: [QUOTE="Reeko, post: 49577, member: 16284"] OK, I have been to tracks that you have more than enough straight before a jump to overjump them. In my slower days, (OK, I'm not that fast, but am getting better)I used to just get up to the correct speed to clear the jump. This meant I wasted time coasting between jumps. My faster (former Pro) friend told me, it's not about clearing each jump, and riding from jump to jump. Rather, go as fast as you can, and think of the jumps as speedbumps you need to slow down for. When I see him jump, he is slowing down, scrubbing speed on the jump face at the last minute. Also, he is allways way back on the bike as opposed to me being over the front, since I am jumping on the power, and he doesn't need to. [/QUOTE]
