I have a VP Free but my question is specifically about dirt jumping (I was doing a little bit of it today).
What always seems to happen to me, is I go off the jump, usually the steep dirt-jump style, and mid air I tend to always lean to the left and I can't help it. My front wheel is straight, but my whole body and bike tips about 20 degrees from center.
Then when I land, it's really awkward and I have to turn left into the lean to prevent from falling.
This also happens when I am dirtbiking off MX style jumps so it has to be my technique.
Is there a special technique you guys used to stay centered off the jump, or is there a technique to straighten the big mid air?
I seem to get tense and have no control mid air..I just hold on don't really move other than lifting/pushing the front tire.
Phew...thanks for input or related experiences This is really bugging me (and my confidence)
