Message: [QUOTE="va_yzrider, post: 753791, member: 41673"] Jeff, I've been working on them lately too. I've found that it helps to pick a fairly big single on the track and whip that one jump all day long (more of a whip to scrub off speed). The more I practiced turning up the jump face,weighting my inside peg, transferring my weight, and turning the bars back the direction I wanted to go, the more comfortable I felt. It gets automatic pretty quickly. The best thing about this approach to the whip is that it helped me in a lot of other areas as well. It REALLY helped me with getting off the side of the bike and letting the bike float up under me on the bigger doubles. It also helps me scrub off speed on the small jumps by staying low. The next step is the tabletop and eventually the double. One word of caution that I learned quickly, be careful on really windy days! [/QUOTE]
