Message: [QUOTE="Studboy, post: 897036, member: 26867"] Jim, I've jumped almost everything from big doubles and tables to freestyle ramps with my YZ, and I've had quite a few of those really nose high experiences. What is usually happening is that I'll hit the power hard on the jump/ramp, and it will throw my body back on the bike, making me go nose high. I couldn't really feel this happening when I was on the bike, but from watching videos of myself when I've done it I've figured it out. To prevent this, either jump a gear higher to smooth out the power a bit (not recommended on super steep jumps), or everytime you are going to jump, contiously think to yourself about rolling on the throttle smooth instead of hitting it, all the time making sure that you keep your body pulled forward on the bike.
