What is the best way to jump? Sumtimes it feels that the front wheel doesn't lift at all, & the back wheel/shock feels like it's gonna kick me over the handle bars. In other words, the rear wheel does lift. I heard that something that helps is pushing down on the bike (pushing down on the shocks - compressing) and then as you hit the jump, ur shocks are just about on their way out decompressing. Any help?

what i do on my bike is i pull up on the front handlebars when u are at the tip of the jump,that way u getin theair much easier,and also get alot more air.then when u are comming down,lean forward slightly,so u dont land on your back wheel alone,because if u do it is much harder to keep going

Shweet! Thanx dude, I'll give it a go.
Any chance of flipping the bike? Or would that only happen when I pull so hard that I dislocate both my shoulders?

the reason u arse is goin up over the front is cos u r lettin the throttle off u gotta u gotta give it some throttle b4 u take off to so the bike is balanced do this in third gear though cos the lower gears may cause u to flip the bike.ive heard u should keep the throttle open till u land so the bike dont stall...but its never happened to me...
