a good begginer jump

[z400rida44]

alright guys, i have been trying to build a jump recently and its just not working out. i have always jumped alot of natural stuff but never a man made one.im more of a xc guy. but know i decided to try and build a nice safe begginer one to learn on. however when i hit it, i get pretty good air, but i have to hit it with the throttle just right or the front end will really drop. what im wondering is if the the takeoff is too short, or if i need to build a downsloped landing? thanks in advance u guys. i know this may be a prettty dumb question but im a newb to jumping.

all depends man. is ur rear end like kicking up? if so that means the lip of the jump is either to steep or to short, and your rear is hitting it and its kickin it up, which results in nose diving. i would try to make the launch a little longer

Those were all of my beginner jumps. If you got questions about the pics just ask.

Isn't it true if the length of the jump is smaller then the length of your quad it will throw your rear end up and make you nose dive? correct me if im wrong
