Best Way To Land

[BARRY]

i am making the switch from woods rider hill climber to mx.we have been going to this track in amhearst for a few weeks now and i am almost ready to tackle some 50 foot table tops.i am only running stock suspension on a 2001 400ex. i know i will blow my shocks out soon. is there a trick to my settings.does anybody have any advise on how to delay the inevitable.also what tire pressure should i run with stock ohtsus. i know the best way to land is on the down side but im not that good yet.should i land on a wheelie or should i land even too distribute my 250 pound self. i know i exceed the weight limit for a 400ex but i just had to have one. are there any cheap good quality shocks that could handle my abuse.sorry for all the questions but i have only been riding for 6 months and any advise will be great

The best way to land is right side up.

yeah make sure you land rubber side down..thats the best way to land.

make sure u land on ur back tires if u land on ur front tires ur probably gonna endo when u land

land back tires first, then save up for some high dollar aftermarket shocks, there would be a night and day diffrence on your machine

Better yet..land all wheels at the same time so your suspenson works together.

You need to test the jumps a few times to get the feel.When you land what ever you do don't land on the front wheels.Try to land even or backtires first.

Try to land rear wheels first,,and hit your gas right before your about to land,,it will soften up the landing tremendously..

k i wanna know what's goin on here. on heuvos 4 on the freestyle part right before they land they hit the throttle real hard. whats the sense? is there thumb slipping er something? i mean iv hit jumps somewhat close like that but theres no need to rev your engine that much. they make things look a lot harder on that movie than they really are.
