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?

Just finished clipping the video together and such, so I will be uploading it soon. I'll keep it a surprise though, no hints about any cool clips in the video....

Video!!!

Enjoy

And remember, it is undergeared, so don't expect any land speed records in the video, but its fast enough to get some great air off a somewhat small jump.




(Sorry about the screamo towards the end, I edited out what I could of it.)
