how do you hit a double?

[ryanh250ex]

i'm going to englishtown's new track on sunday, and i hear that if you dont know how to hit a double, you're screwed. soooooo.....is there any special technique to use when jumping one?

[ex kid]

ur goin to englishtown. its a real mx track u will be screwd if you cant double. dont let off in the turns and go full throttle over the take off.

go fast but not to fast only fast enough to clear the jump but not to fast so u case it and get hurt:D

Don't jump any jumps out of your abilities, thats how you get hurt. and most jumps you can roll i would start rolling and work up doubling

dude just go for it.:macho if you don t make it you ll heal up. thats what the doctors office is for.:devil: it s all about the trophy lol

At the track I run I do a rolling type double, not bad on the landing cause I got the Works up front. I have almost tripled this jump...it is three bumps in a row about 25 feet apart. Any serious doubles I have not done, I am afraid my 250 will snap in half! But what do I know, if you think you can do it then just peg it dude!:D

I agree and if you have to ask how to jump a double chances are you don't need to be jumping it:ermm: .

ur 250ex wont hav da power to clear some of the jumps there. I have a 400 n i bottom out on almost every jump there n i can onyl clear liek 6 ut of 30 jumpos u need to ahv sum shocks n aarms n axle to have wat it takes to clear em

And your comment gives the tree huggers more reasons to ban quads.

Give the man the respect he deserves for asking an intelligent question, that would save him from the doctors office or morgue!

If you don't think you can hit a double, DON'T. Have fun and be safe.

i gotta a 250ex and its little wierd jumpin on it cause the suspension is not what im used to, but if i can jump a 90ft tabletop and not kill myself then im pretty sure u could too

i decided to stay at chats instead. too risky on a 250 with stock shocks. on my trails at my house i hit a jump 6 feet long and 2 feet high, went over 35 feet and landed HARD (flat landing), hard enough to make my throttle hand fall off the bars when the front hit the ground. i dunno if i bottomed out the shocks, but i landed hard.

i've done a 25' double at my local track and about 5 1/2' high!!!!:blah:
