Re: Jumping my XR50 WOW :0
they are hard as hell to jump.. Way harder then a big dirt bike or a 4 wheeler..
I can go out and get a lil bit of a air, like 3 times.. Then my 4th one i'l eat ****..
There just too small and squirly

A stock 05 crf 50 wieghs like 107 lbs. i believe . I notice it when you hit a jump and the bike feels like its falling out of the sky cause you are not really going very fast . I like to hit the jump still sitting in the seat(or maybe an inch off seat) and stand up a little while in the air . If you are standing on the pegs when you hit the jump i think the weight of the rider makes the rear tire fall to the ground first . Resulting in you landing like you are in a wheelie . If you hit the jump at top speed or while your zippin in third , be prepared for a squirrely landing . The size of the rider is a big factor too .
Oh yeah , wear some gear .
Damn , this thread is like a month old . Sorry .

i agree with sitting on the seat off the lip. every time i try to stand up on the launch i wad up. just power off the lip on the seat and stand up a little when you land, it works for me.

It just like jumping anything else
Stay on the throttle throughout the jump.. Don't let off the gas before you come off the jump or you nose dive, and dont come off at full throttle or you go back..
The only thing different is things go bad FAST on a fiddy.. on a 4 wheeler or dirt bike, if somthing goes wrong like the bike falls to the side, it BARLEY falls to the side and just scares you.. You could be clearing 20 foot jumps and get a lil crooked and have no problems..
Whereas on a 3 foot jump on a fiddy, you go crooked and you may be landing on your *** lol
I'v never hit a good feeling jump on my fiddy tell the other day, but its in a VERY un safe location.. ITs a grass hill coming up to a parking lot with the parking lot being the landing.. I get the most air off that jump I ever got off a jump, gonna make a video today of it and will post up.
But im still only getting like 2-3 foot of air, and traveling around 5-10 foot
