Maybe it's just a small jump on the "bad side" and you don't have time to correct, but using the throttle/brake in the air can save almost any off kilter jump. Almost.............
Sorry if you knew this, but i didn't know until I read it. Looking forward to the vids!!

Yep, I race so I know alot about air control. It usually has the nose down flight attitude off the "bad side" of the jump when I hit it going full throttle and I cant give it anymore throttle to make it rotate quickly enough. If I hit the jump at about 5/8 to 3/4 throttle, then I can control it a bit better but the bad side of the jump seems to kick the back end up really far and it's too extreme to recover from. No biggie really, a bit of suspension tweaking (adding some more rear preload or thicker rear shock oil) would probably help, or not hitting the jump at full throttle...
I'm still debating if I should include all of the crashes and bad clips in my video..... maybe a bloopers video, too?
