Find a set of whoops or a rough section. Blast through it with your compression and rebound down. Turn up the compression until you feel comfortable going through. Now do it again and this time adjust your rebound up until you find a good balance between it bucking you off and the shocks packing up and not returning fast enough.

Also keep in mind that these are stock shocks, and you cant expect them to do EVERYTHING, although they are a decent shock.

Dont forget that your shocks should bottom every once in a while, this tells you that you are using the full potential of the shock. If your shocks never bottom even on really hard landings, then you are not using the full travel of the shock.:cool:
