well i just got a 05 kx 250f and i ride at a track that is sandy dirt kinda thing, when i take the big jumps my tail swings out real far, and i almost wipe, yesterday i wiped hard and messed my knee up and it took me 10 mins to get to the computer :( im wondering what the solution would be to this problem...is my suspension not adjusted properly or what??

thanks

your leaning or shifting your weight on the take off is my guess, i had the same problem before and you dont even realize that your doing it. maybe on lift off you shift all your weight on one foot or just lean awkward.
