A riding buddy of mine likes to jump, but every time he does, he's completely stiff in the air and on the landing. Doesn't turn his bars, throw the rear end or adjust his body to absorb the landing. Nothing. It looks weird, and when questioned, he claims to be "going for distance". Me thinks he's scared. Ridden with anyone who looks like a rusted tin man before?

You just described me... although I'm getting better. Meanwhile my friends are throwing no handers, no footers, look backs, X-ups... and combinations of these (and more).

I know this one kid that is super stiff in the air and always lands back tire first. No matter how many times we tell him to loosen up he doesnt. And he drinks and smokes too so he should be plenty loose.
