[QUOTE="Octane250F, post: 1164258, member: 73181"] My first time on a track I rode cautiously. I had problems at first with the front end wanting to nose down on me over the jumps. My friends all race MX, so they taught me to blip the throttle right before the face of the jump to keep the front end up. In time, as I got more confident and hit the jumps with more speed I no longer needed to blip the throttle on every jump (but if there is a little kicker on the lip of the jump I do still blip the throttle). I just started out slow and gradually went faster and jumped farther. Im lucky in that I have friends who are experienced and will offer me any kind of advice they can think of. They will talk smack to me and push me to become a better rider each and every time, but they wont try to make me do something that they know is above my abilities and will get me hurt. I wish everyone could be so lucky. Thats a shame what happened to that guy with the 450. He goes out, buys a bike to have fun on and it more or less ruins his life. I cant believe some dealership sold a 450 to a novice rider. You would think they would ask him some questions to get an idea of his experience and abilities as a rider. Thats really a shame.
