Pre-loading

[DaveEX7]

Anybody pre-load when they hit a jump?

If so how do you guys do it?

When you get to the bottom of the jump squat down, then when you get to the lip spring up

How much more air do you get?
Or isnt it noticeable?

once you get the hang of it and time it perfect you will notice it. its all about the timing. all you do is basically throw your weight down so your shocks compress and then if you time it right they will throw you higher. good luck

is it possible it might throw you off?

yea some times you get to carried away in trying to pre load and you forget to go the right speed or forget to give it gas at the lip so yea it can if you get to carried away in doing it.

preload i do it everytime, when u hit the bottom of the jump push your shocks down as much as you can, and then at the top like bunny hopp, like your on a bmx bike, it does quit a bit once u get it down
