Hit the rear brake and pull up on the handlebars if the nose is diving.

 

Get a set of nerf bars to keep your feet and ankles from being scooped up by the rear tires

You want to blip the throttle if the nose is diving and shift your weight back. If you hit the brakes you will drop like a rock. Use all of your legs to stay on the bike. If you are standing use from your knees down to stay on. If you are sitting use your thighs. This goes for turning aswell as jumping. A good set of riding boots is a great investment.

tap the gas a lil if the nose is diving down. and nerfs and riding boots are a great investment.

Give it gas going off the jump & pull those bars back just a bit! Give it gas on the landing as well to smooth it out.

Yeah not long after I got my Shee I learned to stay on the gas off the jumps. The first time I jumped it I let off at the last second and she nose dived on me. It was a smaller size jump I was practicing on, so nothing bad happened, but yeah the Banshee is definitely a gas on jumper!

Squeese those legs up against the frame. Get frame guards if you plan on jumping to keep it protected. The frame paint will wear off bad where your feet rub up against it.

lmao if i ever aquire a redheaded step child im ganna try to teach it to tap the brakes when his nose drops, and get a videocamera and share it with everyone, until then panic rev that shit and let the gyroscopic effect of the back tires motion to help level out ur shee
