    Its kinda hard to tell, you can always pre- load to get higher, but to get farther is hard to do I think, just try not to get a lot of hop of the jump.... try differnt posisions!

    I would say try to hit the jump at a steady trottle instead of giving it at the base of the jump.

    When the dirt bike guys try to do step up jumps they give it gas just before they hit the jump to get height. So just keep it steady.

    well if the jump is built for hieght thats the way its gonna send you unless you build it differently. like they said, pre-loading obviously sends you up that much higher so just try and keep a steady throttle when hitting the jump and you should be set.

    you'll probable need to work on the lip. maybe it is to steep for what you want to do.
