Does any one on here know *&%$ about anything having to do with dirtbikes?

Question

I need some tips on ramping (jumping)

Answer 1

I would like to think that I know most things about jumping, but i would not tell you about it.

Answer 2

First locate jump ride over take for a couple of test runs to find the best line and get the feel of the take off. Then ride over your landing area for the best line, or ruts in dirt bike case. Once you got your line you know where you want to be. Now on your approach you want to preload the suspension to get maximum lift, so you will be standing all the way til your about at the 10 to 20 ft from the base of the take off ramp. Then you sit down to (preload). As you continue to accelerate you will go up the ramp you must stand up at the peak or near peak this point is critical as this will dictate your height and distance. It's a combination of the suspension release and the lift from the ramp will give you the air needed to clear the gap. Now once your in the air you can control your angle with you throttle and your brake remember this (throttle = more front tire lift) (rear brake= lower front tire) Now the landing you look where you wanted to land, and you need to put about 75% of the landing on rear tire, the rest on the front and lean back.

Answer 4

All I know about ramp building is what I learned watching Southpark when Cartman jumped over a homeless guy. He almost cleared him too.
