If u lived close man i would give u lessons but im in Ky so that is pretty far away. without being 1 on 1 i couldnt explain it to make you understand. Different jumps require different body positions. On BIG table tops i like to keep my weight 3/4 back on the seat just about 2in off the seat in an attack stance. Body position will make the jump successful or in some case the wrong stance will make u get thrown bad. If the face of a jump is laid out longer u can hit it with a few different positions. Never put ur weight foward over the gas tank before hittin a jump. Always stay centered or farther back. Some jumps arent faced properly as in being striaght up almost like a speed bump or a wall which we call kickers. reason for they will kick ur *** end up and almost or will throw u over the bars. Speed is another factor BIG factor. Always keep in mind its better to OVER jump than to UNDER jump. If u over jump u will prb land hard or bottom out. Under jump and case a jump will resort in some emergency room visits. I myself mis judged a double and my front bumper ate the landing square center and broke my arm.

Any ?'s feel free to pm or ask

the main thing on a jump is to stay on the gas. dont let it go

keep the revs hi and practice makes perfect.

and also ride with fast riders you will learn much faster.
