Yeah, that's because we already answered why he can't jump on the first page. His bike's too small for him. The rest of the post are just for fun

Correction: It was the second page.

i finally dumped quads and got a 125 a wile ago, saturday was my first time at the track and 2 laps in i had an idea and tried it. have you ever jumped a bicycle? just like on my bmx i pulled up as i went off the lip and i just glided no problem, and it wasnt a hard pull eather, just a light tug on the bars and a slight lean and it was fine (i did a tiny seat bounch too but not a full sit down, just a quick bounce). i didnt clear any then because my bikes suspesion gives way too much and i cant adjust my shock (clickers f'ed) plus it was my first time riding a big track. once i figured it out i had a blast all afternoon.

The most important part of the jump is where the bike actually leaves the ground, where you have the compression and rebound part of the jump.  What gives you control at this critical part of the jump is your body movements and throttle control.  Along with this body movement and throttle control is timing.  The timing is so critical that the body movement and throttle control has to be an automatic reflex reaction.  This is why it takes so much time and practice to learn to jump well.   Key into the compressing and rebound part of the jump, move your body back a little as the rear wheel kicks up and blip the throttle a little at the same time.  This will cause the front wheel to stay level or come up a little.  If the front wheel is too high don’t move back as much or give it as much throttle.  If you want the front end lower it’s just the opposite; don’t blip the throttle as much and don’t move back as much.  When you want to accelerate after the landing it’s best to land with the throttle on. I have 3 Technique DVDs that cover Jumping and Whoops.  You can see free Motocross Technique DVD previews of these and many others at: www.gsmxs.com

Thank You very much Gary!!!
