[QUOTE="TNTRASH, post: 33769, member: 16442"] I learned how to ride motocross back in the 70's when jumps had more of a flat take off. The best way to learn to jump is to start slow, driving over the jumps getting faster all the time. In the old days when we hit a jump wide open, the ideal thing to do was to basicly push the bike forward as if you were trying to push it away from yourself. This gave a flatter arc. I still think this is the way to learn to jump. Start SMALL and work up to the big ones. Once you feel confident on small flat jumps, work up the steeper face jumps. On these jumps pushing the bike is sometimes not the best thing to do. Pulling back on the bars is just as bad. You have to find the balance of yourself and the bike. I still have trouble on the steep jumps basicly because of how high the bike is going. I guess the secret is to not go to the largest jump you can find first. Start small and work up. Wear your gear.
