At least you get a few things somewhat right:rolleyes:

------------------------

Be centered on the bike(usually...it all depends on the jump)

When your coming off the face of the jump, whatever you do, DO NOT let off the gas. If you let off, it'll kick your ***** really hard and the bike will nose down.

Keep a steady throttle throughout the launch, or steady till you hit the face, then open it up..never let off.

Once your airborne, theres a few things you can do for control. Obviously, the normal leaning will apply. But, you can do a few extra things; if your front end drops, lean back, and pin it. The inertia of your rear tires will get the front end up, and if you have time, you can shift up before pinning it, which will allow the tires to spin faster, and it will work even better. Same goes for going front end high, you can lean forward, and if you have the ability, and the time, pull in the clutch and jab the rear brakes(not apply a little, JAB them), the rear tires will stop, and will bring the front end down. Grabbing the front brakes will do the same thing, but not even close to as well. You can also turn your front tires in the air and it will bring the front end down...it will turn the bike a little also.

When landing, land rear tires first. Not by a lot, but just a little nose high. Unless your landing a double, tabletop, stepdown, etc. that has a landing ramp, then you want to land about equal(again, all depends on the circumstances) Land standing, use your body as extra suspension, but NEVER land stiff legged, or stiff armed. Stay loose, but not loose enough to not stay standing.

Also, land hard on the gas, if its a flat landing(or some landing ramps), the front end may try to smack down, and also the rear end may try to bottom...if you land on the gas, the force of the bike accelerating will pick up your suspension and keep you from bottoming(most of the time), and allow your suspension to work to its full potential.

Anything else you wanna know?;)

Most stock quads will handle higher jumps then most would think...if jumped correctly.

But obviously, there is a limit

he should be kicked off of the site and not Blue450yo. all 450r51 does is critisize people and make fun of them. i bet if we really saw him he would suck .:eek2:

[400exrider36]

ooo wow a 85ft double. see, its no use to critisize. everyone has their own skill level. i dont wanna get into anything here so just a word of advise;)
