Is there anything I can do to my shocks to help this? I heard something about the rebound setting:confused:

well you could try slowing down your rebound on your rear shock, if you preload hard or at the wrong time with a fast rebound your rear shock can kick your back end up when its on the fast and the fronts have alreayd left. it could also be that your front rebound is real slow and the back is fast. make them even or slow the backs more. also make sure your even with the throttle off the jump. or you could blip the throttle a little too and if you do still nose dive rev it in the air.

Not to be an a-hole but I just tap the gas to level mine out.:confused:

tapping the gas works unless you have been kicked really hard the wrong way. and you dont want to have to tap the gas everytime you take off i rarely have to rev to level out the quad except when it kicks wierd. and im pretty sure it would be your rear shock rebound that would screw you up.

You should downside every jump anyways. Stay in the middle of the bike when you jump, the farther back you are the more weight on the rear shock, the harder its going to compress, then naturally the opposite reaction is rebound, weeeee over the bars.

guys and gals are you sure he is talking about nose diving while jumping or while front braking? I think he might be talking about the latter.
