I HAVE REALY NEVER JUMPED A DIRT BIKE BUT WANT TO LEARN HOW TO I HAVE JUNMPED ABOUT TWO FOOT HIGH TABLE TOPS BUT THATS ALL. ANY POINTERS OR WHERE IS THE NEXT STEP I OWN A CR250R

 

bones heal an chicks dig scars just go for it!

 

larger table tops are always a good place to start a rook...if you come up short it wont be nearly as disasterous as if you came up short on a double.

but other wise point it strait pin it and stay loose in the air...DONT FREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!

 

yeh dude you just gotta go for it

 

when i used to jump i usually would case it really bad a few times then wuss out a few times and then do it right at the end of the day and be like dayum i wish i would have don that earlier , so now i just do it

 

just stay on the throttle until your off the jump

 

how high of jump would you start out at?

HEY EVERYONE, U REMEMBER THAT FIRST TIME U JUMP ABOUT A 50- 60 FOOTER DOUVBLE, GOSH IM HAVIN TROUBLE JUMPIN THIS ONE, ANY POINTERS BESIDES, "JUST HIT IT"

 

well, i have hit a 50 fooot stepdown double and for me it took a while as my first double, well i would ask around and make sure you know what gear and around what speed/rpm and always remember let the village idiot hit the big new jumps first lol

 

i think ill try a 20ft wide double how fast should i be rolling

 

that is something you definitely never want to ask ppl online!! it depends on the angle and pitch and terrain etc....ask someone at the track when you go

 

i just bilt a 10 ft double for my fiddy its pritty fun i do need new stiffer springs thow

if at all poss. you should try to jump off to the side(land on flat) so you can build up to the speed/distance you need to downside clean. Good luck rook!

 

a good way to learn is on a step up jump

cause if you bail your not far from the ground and you get a good feal on how your bike reacts off a jump

 

what he said, and all you gotta do is roll over it a few times, get the feel for it and when you decide to hit it keep a steady throttle. the worst you could prolly do is case it, and that doesn't even hurt on a jump that size.

 

umm...not to hate but i'm confused. If you have a cr250 how have you never hit a jump? Please don't say this is your first bike you've ever owned, and if it isn't, how have you owned bikes before and never done more than a 2 foot jump?

i hit rythm sections and get more than 2 foot of air.....

 

Well I have had a few other bikes. but My dad owns a motorcycle shop and i i ride bikes there every day I did jump a 80 i had but it was very high. im going to a track this weekend. another reason is there is know place to ride around here and the closets place is a hour drive so that is another reason

 

thats why i stopped riding motocross and **** man.............finding a place to ride is a bitch, either you drive a hella long ways to a place or you become a member of an orginization and go to the track which is how they do it here. its like 400 up front then like 50 a month........its not expensive but still alot for jsut goin on weekends..

 

damn, we have tracks all over here. cali is too expensive. come to indiana. 60$ a year membership at our local track and thursdays is pre-race day so it's 20$ (they clean the track up real nice and keep it nice between rides). Other than that, sunday-wednesday costs nothing.
