Generally smooth throttle helps. If you find the jump drops your front wheel, roll on the throttle a little more while you're on the face of the jump. If you're front wheel aims for the sky, you're on the throttle too much. Some jumps have bad faces and will kick the back tire up, avoid these. Once you're comfortable with how the bike leaves the face of the jump, move up to something bigger. Just realize that the suspension on that 79 RM80 is not going to be very forgiving if you make a mistake. [/QUOTE]
