[QUOTE="Jamir, post: 310740, member: 24422"] I am 6'2" so I might be able to help. I have just started getting into jumping in the last year. One thing that really helps me is my bar position. I have my bars as far forward as I can. That makes me have to lean more to the front of the bike. What kind of bike do you have? If you are riding a lighter bike then weight would be just as much of a factor as height. I have heard of taller guys having their pegs lowered by cutting them and welding them down a little. Personally, I would not mess with this. I am no expert on jumping but I am an expert on learning to jump and jumping badly. Remember to use your brakes and gas. If you feel like you are going to go over the bars, give it some throttle. If you feel like you are going off the back, give it some brake. I learned a great technique this weekend. I had one jump that I nearly went over the bars on several times. Finally, I figured out that if I pulled up on the bars right after the take off, it cured that problem. If you learn gas/brake/control you should be fine..... .....now go take on the day. [/QUOTE]
