[QUOTE="jumpingjoe628, post: 939416, member: 59921"] Those were ok, but on really steep jumps I can pancake-it all the way over. I'll try to do better this weekend at Englishtown practice track and get some really good whips. I'll say this, it took me years to get a whip that far and that was only after I turned expert. Mostly I did alot of racing so whips weren't my main concern. But if someone practices on the right jump they can get it down pretty quick. One jump that I liked was only about 30 feet long and 7 feet tall but the lip was almost vertical. You could clear it in second gear a 125 or 250. The landing was aiming the track to the right so ya had to cross up in the air to land straight. I just took it to a higher level and tweaked the bike to get flat in the air. I wish I had pics to show. You definetly have to put your body in an unnatural position at first but you get used to it. Just start turning before you hit the face and when you get airborn give it some throttle to whip out the back end. Here's a hint: Just a blip of throttle(but HARD). As you feel the bike getting sideways it is important not to try to straighten out too soon, the bikes natural rotation will slow down and then you can lean it back straight. A jump like I described will probably be the best starting point for anyone. It has to be a steep one but not too long. Remember, a whip is when the back tire catches up with the front tire and then straightens out.Everything else is just a cross up. [/QUOTE]
