best way to hit a jump with a real steap lip

[mayberry400ex]

ive been waiting around to hit this one jump on our local trails whats the best way to go about hitting a jump where the lip kinda curves back and shoots u up hill :cool:

i think if you dont lean forward your gonna pull one of those BMX bowl turn things

hit the bithc leanin forward

[mayberry400ex]

yea this jumps pretty crazy one dude hit it like back in the 1980's or somethin and got real messed up but its not as bad as it use to be.

[wolffie]

lean forward coming towards the lip, but while in the air, adjust the quad accordingly. if your front end gets too high, use the rear brake to bring it down (just dont get too generous with the rear brake, or something bad is bound to happen! is this a single/double/table or what? do you have any pics of it?

[mayberry400ex]

its a single, i dont have any pics yet but i snap some next time im there.

[pit/wood]

sounds like some of the hills we have here.they ramp up smooth then there is a ledge that sticks out then back to smooth ramp for another 4-5'.I just lift my front wheels before I hit the lip,when my back wheels hit it they kick up and sometimes dont hit the last 4-5'.kinda kicks it up and over the top and lands you flat.real fun. gettin a camera soon so I will take pics and get back to you.

[allstock]

you mean like this one? if so just go at a steady speed and crack the throttle at the top and lean foward ps. thats not my crack its a kidney belt

[mayberry400ex]

thats exactly the kinda of jump im talkin bout what gear did ya hit that one in.


nice jump!

Hit in 2nd n do whatever feels comfortable. If u dont make it, bail n the ol 400 will take the roll. Then u will at least know what its gonna do.

[allstock]

yea i hit it 2nd coasting and like i said crack the throttle it at the top

[Honda6sv]

I think thats crack..no belt, man. Its clear as day in the second one. I see no belt. Crack kills dude.:o

-All skin...

[pit/wood]

sand with topsoil at the top .about 25 -30' foot up the grade.fun jumpin off them too.I run up all along there in 2nd,jump off in first.crossface is a blast too.

[mayberry400ex]

you got some pretty sick jumps over your way , im goin ot have to take some pics of mine around here.

[allstock]

umm no dude its a pink belt its my dads from when all the pink and blue riding gear was in ok?if u look a little closer you would see my pants then t shirt then belt then my sweat shirt. besides its my *** i think i would know whats going on back there:devil:

[mayberry400ex]

aight thats a lil weird who cares if his cracks hangin out

[pit/wood]

I dont know man,seen alot of crack in my days.landin those pop-ups are a blast,got alot of those around here.

[mayberry400ex]

haha this subject went downhill........lol

[sixsixzero]

lmfao if that aint crack then im on crack!! :eek2:

[pit/wood]

wow,hes gonna try to get away with showing his butt-crack by tellin us he wears pink. Its good you can land that pop-up,but either way you need to work on your choice of gear.rotflmfao

[Honda6sv]

Hey, the pink belt is UNDER the sweat shirt :rolleyes:. Sometimes ppl don't know what is going on back there. Girls don't. Thats why you see their cute little thongs half way up their back.;) :p

-Im just messing with you man. I just like how you said you were wearing a kidney belt. Oh well, I done with the "crack" thing, :). Was rather funny thoigh ;)

[allstock]

dude the belt is pink and blackish blueish if you want ill post a pic of it. and im only wearing it b/c i cant offord my own even thought its only $30 but why by another when you have one. lol but it is pretty funny

[pit/wood]

Just havin fun man.thats what its all about.When I hit those I power up the hill and keep my front light as I hit the face that goes straight up.the damn back wheels follow every time.with the right speed and throttle control you can land it anyway you want.

[allstock]

oops i forgot to tell you... DO NOT HIT IT WITH TOO MUCH SPEED!!!!!! you will not go any farther just higher. when you do it at the right speed you land perfectly flat but going faster would cause you to be in the air longer and you front end will come down and you will nose dive. i've seen it and done it a million times

[sixsixzero]

wow,hes gonna try to get away with showing his butt-crack by tellin us he wears pink. Its good you can land that pop-up,but either way you need to work on your choice of gear.rotflmfao

lmgdfao thats some funny ****

[pit/wood]

I agree with allstock.not enough speed and you have your front wheels in the air,too much speed and it kicks your rear too high.nut-up and hit it,but be ready to bail.

[sixsixzero]

lol sounds to me like ur tryin to climb a hill instead of jumpin a jump.:confused:

mayberry did u hit that damn jump yet?

[sixsixzero]

[pit/wood]

[mayberry400ex]

man im back ridin again no need for a pickup where ya live i'll hit those hills. heres my little hill!

[sixsixzero]

LMFAO!! mayberry that aint a hill thats a log road.

I was jk pit/wood ive climbed some big hills before but be honest i dont like it lol

Ive rolled my old warrior down plenty of em, and i dont wanna mess my pretty raptor up so i dont climb much lol :(

[pit/wood]

like you said,sixsixzero,watchin your machine roll down a hill aint fun.But gettin over the top is great.Hey mayberry you dont want to come up here,too much ice.Been runnin the generator for 2 days.But when the weather gets better you can bring it on.Always lookin for new riddin buds.

[quader400]

mayberry do you just talk s*** all over the forums. grow up

[mayberry400ex]

do u see the J/K sign there i dont mean what i say!

we all just need to ride including myself and enjoy it instead of gettin in crazy fights on the internet

[mayberry400ex]

we've had alittle bit of that weather down here but we aint had to run the generator yet

[pit/wood]
