[QUOTE="will pattison, post: 24566, member: 19283"] hey guys...sorry i had to leave the thread for a few days. business trip, races this weekend, blah, blah, blah. anyhow, to answer the question about why the rear end "stiffens" with more throttle on a jump landing: i think part of this is percieved rather than actual. since landing with the throttle on keeps us from rebounding like pogo sticks, we feel that the package is stiffer because it's more controlled. i also agree that rear wheel inertia plays a role, but the truth is, that with all the thought-experiments i've been doing since we started this thread, i can't come up with a coherent theory that would explain an actual increased resistance to compression with the throttle on. there just don't seem to be any physics that would explain it. what we do have, however, is physics that indicate that chain torque does cause at least some squat. maybe we can figure out together what the real answer is regarding landing witht the juice on... wp.
