Jumping

[insanerider]

I will climb anyhill but when is comes to jumping all i can hit is a 15 foot doubles i can get the gearing right on them last time i hit a 30 foot one and cased it so can i get help what gear to hit 30 and 50 foot doubles on?

you just don't jump like that

if you want some advise

on a specific jump you need to describe it !!!

one thing that I learned is always aim to over shoot a little its better to do that than to case so like when you think your going fast enough go a little faster

[Labarraca_Baca]

Dont forget to preload also

[fixitrod]

Start small and practice. That's about it.

Preload? Do you pull back on the bars and then push forward like in ATV Offroad Fury 2? hehehe..

 

seriously though..

Preloading is basically kicking down (not hard!) on the pegs at the peak of the jump. That gives you more height. Just don't jump off the pegs, that can be nasty.

once you master the 50 footer try a backflip.have one of your friends tape it and then post on site

just hit the throttle and go for it. jumping is all feel and you won't know till you try. hit some shorties to get the feel and progress bigger and longer.

If your running a stock ride, your just asking for trouble. Those front shocks won't last long if your trying to clear 30' doubles. Plus it'll be hell on your entire machine. Stock swingarm is crap and it will break on you, plus with all that abuse don't be suprised if you shit a spindle upon a harsh landing.

Jumping is all about commitment. If you belive your going to make it, 9 times out of 10 you will, but if you doubt yourself, you'll crash and eat it big time.

You know, I've crashed more times then I can remember and Coming up short is painfull, but if you overshoot it, it's just as bad..that hurts too..I remember this one time at my local track, the owner changed this big tabletop step-up and had the landing ramp too short with a nice g-out at the end of it..needless to say I overshot the landing..by a mile.. landed ass end in the g-out and just crushed my balls on the gas tank and split my lip on the cross bar..shit hurt...I had to stop riding for like a half hour to stop the blood and let the swelling go down. But I was back at it.
