Re: do you preload your suspension when you jump?
seat bouncing is normally done out of a corner - its unneccessary and slow to seat bounce any other time -
preloading is also usually mostly done on jumps right out of a corner -
most big jumps with plenty of run or steep jumps the suspension will compress almost completely on the face of the ramp anyways which i guess u could say is preloading - when jumping fmx ramps preloading is usually unnecessary for this reason

Brake tap= pulling in clutch and taping rear brake, in return will bring your front in down......dont land with your foot on the brake, this is very bad and could cause injury. once you learn this, you will start to learn body english, at least for me thats how it was.

Yeah I did start small - made about a 20 foot table top jump..
It got converted to table top cos the first time I hit it was way too fast and I jumped about 35 feet and landed on the flat .....not
