Jump tips?

notsoprosledder · Jun 14, 2017

Hi guys! I've been practicing jumping on my new yz, and i am landing tail heavy.
i always make sure i have a neutral yet aggressive stance when hitting the jump, but
what should i be correcting in terms of body position while airborne?

Its not throttle, I don't brapp while i'm in the air.

Tap rear brake. You could also lean forward. Don't try both at the same time lol. Will depend on how big the jump is too.

Hard to say for sure what you are doing wrong without seeing it in person, but Id guess by the sounds of things you need
to get further ahead (body position) on the bike during the take off.

Thanks for the response guys! Gonna try to apply some of the tips when i head out next time. I think i'm leaning back a bit when in the air as a brace for the landing.
