Start at 10 foot then move it back. Use some initiative, dont just ask other people. It is possible to learn things on your own you know. Plus that was a really dumb question, do you honestly think someone is gonna just come a long and say "oh yeah, i did that yesterday, about mid throttle in 3rd gear.
Plus, would you actually listen to what anyone told you? Would you actually try hitting it at mid throttle in 3rd gear? You could seriously injure yourself if you listened to what speed someone told you to hit it at. Nobody knows what the run up is like, nobody knows what the suspension is like on your bike. Ask your mummy or daddy if your post is worth posting before you do so please.
y the hell are u so mean, it aint just in this thread, its like in all threads!!!!!!!!!!! So what its a dumb question but he might need help

hey just follow someone else into the ramp(go beside them and next the ramp a few times) then go for it a little faster than that so you can be 100% sure you wont come up short. your better off going long than comming up short.
