Slayer1018 Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Hey all... I'm more of a woods rider, but would like to get into MX. What are some tips for getting good air and decent landings? Any info is much appreciated.... Quote
txblueshee Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 Since you have stock goemetry it's even more impotant to stay on the throttle and over the ass end.... If you plan on going over 4ft with the stock shocks you better have a downgrade to land on.... Mike Quote
FasterThanU90 Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Its all about form if u dont have it ull eat shyt keep good control of ur front end and shift ur weight smart look at the shape of the jump and how much u need to manuever ur bike to land and stay in line DO NOT stay over ur ass end or ull end up landing crooked stay in the balance point its pretty much where the footpegs come up when u take off from a jump i look at the face and then directly spot my landing its kinda like a roll just "roll" the bike maybe not the best word for it kinda curve it over the jump i lift up the front end a little through flight and as im spottin my landing i level the bike or adjust my front down if its steeper landing if its a smooth transition just keep the bike level and ull end up going through it smoothly u want to land on ur back tires first just start small sumthing with and easy lip and a smooth landing DONT get comfortable with ur jumps once u start getting in that mode u start fukn up and getting hurt Just Keep your form all the way through the transition and ull be a mx champ in no time have fun bud good luck Quote
atvlifestyle Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 steady throttle. Don't bleap the throttle of the lip. Keep a constant throttle and the rest should be natural feeling. If you are in trouble just remember rear brake to bring the front end down and get on the gas to bring the back down. Quote

Speed on approach is important.Don't be afraid of the jump. Quote

differentstrokes Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Whatever you do, keep your ass OFF the seat when you land. If not, when it rebounds you're probably coming off the bike. Quote
