Answer 1

If your chain is tight as you suggest, your rearcogs might be worn out. When the teeth wear out, they loose the ability to keep the chain in place. Otherwise, your chain might be worn out. Every chain link is an inch. If you remove the chain and 12 links are longer then 12 inches, replace the chain. It's an easy job with the proper tool.

Answer 2

Ok first if ur going to be racing and jumping and such you should look for a new bike.

second the reason why ur chain is falling off is because your chain is not tight enough it should be taut and moves less than an inch when putting a finger on it and pulling up.

Also make sure you chainwheel/freewheel are not crooked.

If there where any bikes i would recommend get a fit, colony. dk, kink , or hoffman.
