whoops tips

[EPDP99]

I have done a search and nothing was found. Need some tips for the whoops. I recently went to the dunes and a comp hill i couldnt make it through the whoops very well. First i found my shock when i got it back from getting a elka rebuild on stock shock was to full hard for rebound and compression. where should I set it and how to get through the whoops better. The back end of my bike keeps bouncing up and not getting power to the ground.

ok. before you pin it in the whoops get your shocks set to where you like them. if your doing a lot of mx then you might need your front stiff and lighten up the back so you can compress it. once your shocks are set then pin it in the whoops. also look for the easy way thought them. don't just point and go. if you loose your timeing in the whoops then try to double them out at the end.
