OK veterans and show off's here's your chance to prove your knowledge!
I recently got an 01 300 EX. It's my first atv and so far so good. My friends and I have a nice track with a couple of jumps that we are learning on and we have been making htem larger all the time.
At this point the bottom of my tires get between 4 and 5 feet of air (depending on the jump). What I need to know is:
1. should you be accellerating into the jump or can you get your speed and just maintain until you hit it. I noticed that my friends and I all get going then just before the jump we let off then goose it on the jump and that some times when we don't our back tires tend to get too high and we land on the front (not good) is theis cause and effect or is it the way we are on the bike and not the throttling when we jump.
2. we can clear 15-20 feet of distance, but I want to get better and eventually hit the doubles. How should I go about this?
3. when doubling I have seen that guys can control the bike to make the front higher or lower how is this done?
like I said I'm new and so are the four guys riding with me so any one with experience and know how please weigh in and dazzle us with your knowledge.
