[QUOTE="jarredtaylor, post: 310697, member: 17047"] Hi I'm having major troubles jumping. I'm kinda tall at 6'4", I feel very squirrley in the air. I've observed others and their jumping technique to try to better my own. Problem is, most of the other individuals are quite a bit shorter than myself. I have a hard time "sucking the bike in". I approach jumps standing up, or in the crouched position, chin just over the handlebars, pinching with legs and trying to stay as "loose" as possible. However its quite difficult for me to get lower on the machine than these other guys. My height from hip to top of head has so much of an affect on my stability in the air.. I mean really its like me riding a bmx bike.. its very easy for me to flip over the handlebars, or roll over the back. I'm getting quite discouraged with this, I dont know how to fix it. I almost seem to jump better with my behind on the seat. For you taller riders.. what kind of body position do you assume at takeoff and in the air? JT JT [/QUOTE]
