[QuoKKa]

right.. yesturday i was just doing this little kicker for fun and i got it now and then.. but a few times.. my feet would come off the pegs.. how can is top that?

i dont know if its something im doing wrong or is it the setup of the suspension causing my body to lift off the bike after i hit the kicker?

got that bad one time i fully came off the bike in mid-air.. did like a lil superman/no legger and jsut saved it and landed it... scarey

haha

cheers quokka

Are you in the 'attack' position before hitting it or sitting down?

If your siting down then there is your problem. If your in the attack position you shouldn't have a problem.

grip the bike with your knees!

your probably backing off when ur hitting the ramp / jump mate , ittl kick you ass end high and make your feet come off .

always be on the gas when you hit jumps because its easier to bring the front down then the rear down .

Keep practicing Mate! With practice and experience you will develop a feel for the bike and what corrections you need to make when it starts stepping out. Gripping the bike with your knees is not practical because you need to be unrestricted in your movements to allow your balance to be readjusted instantly.
