[QUOTE="nikki, post: 164739, member: 18126"] Bbbom - about your question to if it's better to come up a little short or a little long on the double of the triple - I say it's better to come up a little long on his first attempt to clear it. The landing won't be as smooth as nailing it perfect and landing on the downslope on the double... but it's easier to save landing on flat ground than it is casing (or smacking into the face) of the double. Plus if he over jumps it the first time - I bet ya the 2nd and 3rd time will be near perfect because he will know he can back off of the gas a little bit and he'll be more comfortable than trying to go for more gas. Just my best advice. Isn't there a smaller double that he can do somewhere before attempting this one? Like a 15-25 foot double somewhere - just so he can get the feeling first of how it feels to land one right. 3rd gear sounds about right too - since it's a straight before the jump - he should probably get up speed in the straight - then make sure to go over the jump about 3/4 throttle. And yes - I agree with you - I think first he should watch other 80 riders jump it (listen to their bikes, watch their speed and where on the takeoff they usually jump, and maybe ask them what gear they are in) and then - if he can "follow" behind someone who jumps it to know how much speed is needed - that would make it a little easier. Keep us posted :confused: [/QUOTE]
