Hi so I just got my new 05 p2 :redX: today, because a rockhopper wasnt cutting it for jumps and drops. So im pretty new to dirtjumps and was wondering if any of you guys had any tips on making better jumps. Another thing is are there any things to remeber when hitting doubles, because all ive ridden are tables the biggest being 4 feet tall and about 3 feet of a distance to clear. Ok thanks.

Go really fast and pump you fork, close your eyes and hope for the best.

^ ^ ok, not good advice.

hit doubles just like you hit tables.
watch other riders to get a good indication of the speed you need
practice.

Learn how to pump stuff (pressing your bike into the landing, basically just gaining speed over the terrain rather than pedalling). If your going to case try and make it a rear case. If your going to nose case hard try and bail because noise casing sucks for you and can be hard on the bike if all your weight is on it. When your doing a DJ line don't get in the habit of stopping for a jump; stop if you need to, but if you get in the habit of stopping it can be hard to break. And last start riding with people better than you.

just remember, if you lift your head up then your front end comes up, look down and your front end goes down.

Ever ride off a jump sitting down. Its harder then it looks/seems.
