as i hit a jump i get right over the back like touching the mud guard , then as soon as both wheels leave the jump get right over the front,

the first time i tried this i went over the bars, but once u get it down, it's pretty sweet

DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!!! unless you want to hit the ground nice and hard! the best way is to sit ur bum in line or just in front of your rear suspension(seated attack position) and as you hit the jump push down on ur bum and gas it nice and hard,(do it smoothly first while your learning) grip the bike really hard with ur legs! try it out on small jumps first, tabletops prefered!
the suden increase in power can throw the front wheel skywards, Keep your foot over the rear brake peddel aswell and if that front wheel goes to high slam that rear brake pedal to the ground! keep your arms ready and tense so not to be thrown over the bars, be prepared to be thrown forward by the rebound of the rear suspension as your learning!

YES DO THAT, as i have a 2smoker may be a bit different but it works for me so ni dont care what anyone says, start off on small jumps and get used to moving around, look at all the pros doing it,

iv heard people talking about "scrubbing" what actualy is it? sory for the noob question

[_fmx_]

this is scrubbing! scrubbing is keeping low over jumps! bubba does it best!

[trashthumpy]

cheers man

mmm nothing beats a bubba scrub.

lol another totally off topic noob question, what the hell is the reason for grip tape on the top of pro riders forks? which trick does it help? lol

[trashthumpy]

do u mean on fmx bikes? if so its to give grip when doing cliffhangers and tricks like that, i think......

[blingbling121]

hahah yes that would explain it
