[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1282893, member: 16469"] The harder you are on the gas, the farther forward you need to be to balance that out. When coasting, or just crusing, over a jump, you need to be farther back to counteract the kick that the rear end will take once the front tire leaves the ground. The fact that he is fairly far back implies he's just cruising over it and not accelerating all the way up the jump. It might be possible for him to clear that jump hard on the gas (not just at a high RPM, but rather with a high amount of acceleration) in 2nd gear, while cruising over it while merely maintaining speed might require going twice as fast in 4th gear. There are times and places for both approaches. If the jump is right out of a corner, you need to be able to accelerate hard all the way up the jump to make it. If the jump is in the middle of a long straight where you have more speed than you need/want to easily clear it, you want to be able to maintain your speed while staying as low as possible and not overjumping it (if that would hurt).
