I got a set of Razor MX 20" front tires and 18-9.5-8 Turf tamers. I have been noticing that the front end likes to drop when I go over a jump. Before I got the rears I tried out the razor's up front with the 20" Holeshots on the rear. Needless to say that was not a good idea! :rolleyes: I figured that out as I went over the bars on a little 10' double. I still notice it with the turf tamers on the rear. Do I need to use my lowering strut and drop the back down some? I am a little scared to hit anything big if the front wants to drop. :eek:
Any ideas will be helpful.....:D

if ur front end drops, you gotta give her gas, that will make your front end come up. if it comes up to far, you gotta hit the back brakes to make it come down.

No I am giving it gas as I hit the jump.

Scoot your buttocks back on the seat more as you hit the jump and either stay on the gas or blip it right at the face of the jump... If you'd like I can give you a jumpin class for $200 an hour..;) j/k

Thanks for the offer Rico, but I got some one that will give me lessons just to watch me crash! :p It just seems like the rear is sitting higher than the front. I might give the rear shock a little more sag and see if that helps.
