Message: [QUOTE="the_monk, post: 897158, member: 55757"] I know nothing about jumping. That being said, I just read an article in some dirtbike rag that mentioned something about "chopping the throttle just before take off will unload the rear spring, causing the front to drop on take off". Makes sense to me. Rear shock is compressed on acceleration to the jump, chopping (or letting off quite a bit) near the lip should cause the rear to unload and transfer the bike (and probably some of your) weight to the front tire with very little effort on your part. Again, the only jumps I've ever done are by accident. The grain of salt is a 10lb salt lick. [/QUOTE]
