Hey,
I want to ask about properly approaching a lippy jump with my DH bike. I race sports category and so still have a lot to learn in terms of technique.
So I can take 20' doubles at speed fine, and sometimes tend to be on the over-compensating side and land with my rear wheel. However, on the ones with steep takeoff that I approach in speed I keep getting bucked forward sometimes resulting in an OTH landing. The last one put me away for the better part of two weeks.
Of course you're not there, but does this sound familiar? What am I doing wrong? I assume that maybe I'm not compressing on the takeoff, but when I try to verify it it gets painful
Appreciate any help I can get!
