Hey Guys,
I'm new to the whole jumping scene and just wanted to know how my postioning was after hitting some natuaral hits at a mates house. Just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing before hitting a real ramp. Don't laugh at me eithier cause I know I'm only like a foot off the ground!! lol. Cheers.

Just the postioning and stance I guess on the bike is what I was meaning. Will be heading out to Broady soon to give that a crack. I just don't want to be doing something wrong on real small stuff and transfer that across too a larger jump.

Will give it a go when I'm out there. I'm real comfortable with the bike in the air when I'm messing around or trail riding so it's just a matter of getting the balls to go off the big stuff now!!
Thanks for the feedback guys. Aprreciated. :Z440:

Your body positioning is fine. The bike looks nice and level as well. with the 250x I would harden up the clickers on the suspension as she may be a bit soft for the bigger hits. But weel done keep it up and enjoy it it's a good sport!

Holy crap. When i was there people on 450s were struggling. I didnt think you could go fast enough on a 85 or 150

Hey mate,
You reckon to harden the springs up yeah?? At the moment they are soft as hell, then back 4 clicks on front and rear. I like it softer for trail riding and the rebound is sweet as when hitting smaller whoops and stuff. How bigger jumps we talking before I really need to harden it up?? What about the rebound for a larger jump?
I have been looking at this site for a year while I got the whole riding thing down pat but yeah there is no better feeling than hitting a sweet jump!! I fricken love it!! :Z440:
PS: Top props on a fantastic site to guys!!
