just_a_rider said:Steady throttle all the way, smaller shorter jumps you may have to give a little punch at the base of the jump to keep the front from diving to much. Panic throttle and braking to adjust your flight is something that doesn't come easy at all, first you've got to get use to being in the air without becoming a frozen statue, and I'm sure every one here remebers when they first started jumping, you leave the jump and freeze, you feel the bike diving to sharp but your froze, you can't move a muscle :yikes: . What helps is something to keep you from spacing out, I like to use two way MoTorola radios you being aquiped with the ear piece and voice activated mic. When aproaching the jump have a friend just start talking your ears off, preverably something funny or perverted, it keeps you from becoming froze because your thinking of something other than your demise :ohmy: It's also a good thing for the track, having a spotter leting you know whats coming up on you especialy if your a slow rider and there is a pack of rockets comin after ya. :)
WHAT???????????? I have absolutely no idea what you are tryng to sya.pyromainiac420 said:becuase shes gonna hit smaller jumps ill advise on that, i was hitting a small jump just the other day its like this grass hill really and the grass was wet its a fairly small just (im about two feet in the air and go about 8 feet) but still kinda fun and while goin up the ramp i felt the back end sliding out so i just killed the throttle (let almost right off of it) the bike went up in the air and i landed it safely my point alot problems that happen in the air start on the ground

Some people will take their right foot off and move it back out of the way to make sure they don't inadvertently hit the rear brake while in the air.David Rocci said:I've read a lot of tips in here so far and I'm curious about a technique I noticed at the track. I saw a lot of guys kick one foot off the pegs when in the air. Is that a distraction from the "mid-air freezing" or does the side kick have another function?
