stealthawd Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 blipping the throttle will lift your front end...hitting your brake will bring the front end down. when you hit the apex of the jump, compress the suspension by letting off the throttle and hitting it again and by physically pushing down with your body...this will allow your suspension to help launch you in the air as you leave the ramp...

stealthawd Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 in a racing scenario, remember that big air looks kewl, but slows you down if you are using all of your energy to go up. try to keep the bike moving forward instead of up if you follow me. basically, just clear the jump without too much upward movement.

SCOTT PRESSLEY Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 What he said ,and just before you land get on the throttle it will pull you out of the landing and you want land as hard.Forward motion is the key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetshee Posted March 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 supermoto is a bit different than tt isnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT PRESSLEY Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 yes,TT is mostly flat with turns kinda like an Indy race some have a few small jumps thow.Supercross has big air and timing sections woops most times and killer to ride also tight turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 I think he was aking the diiference between TT and Supermoto. Similar but different. Supermoto from what I have seen is like half tarmac, half hard pack dirt with a few jumps thrown in that may not be made out of dirt. But it looks like a flat track set up with a little more suspension travel is what is usually run. broke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
