[QUOTE="wjp, post: 1042156, member: 26170"] Hi, There's a 50 foot jump at my local track thats giving me a little trouble. There's a real big kicker just before the jump (after a corner), once pasted that I then gas it until I reach the bottom of the jump from there I keep the throttle neutral and this give me a good position in the air and for landing - I can tap back brake and bring the nose down a little - However I'm always landing on the end of the jump/casing the top. I'm about 3 to 6 feet sort of the downward slope landing. I just can seem to make the landing ! :think: Watching some other riders I see that they are on the gas all the way off the face, they then tap the rear brake bring the bikes nose down and in good position for the landing. However when I try this - I tap the rear brake (whilst holding the clutch in!) and not much happens!! :( I end up coming down with the front of the bike real high . Its does adjust the altitude a little - but not much. So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to take the rear brake more early once in the air (am I doing too late). Do I just need to get over the front of the bike more? (I'm not on the gas real hard) Any tips would be great appeciated? cheers, Wayne [/QUOTE]
