    Clearing those table tops

    by BillB » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:50 am

    I can’t seam to clear the table tops I’m always coming up short. It feels like im caring enough speed everything feels right. My suspension is dialed & sprung for me. I watch other riders and it looks like they are not doing much different then I am. I ride at my local track (Ellsinore Mx Park)

    Any advise?

    I’m not preloading, but it doesn’t look like other riders are either. How do you do it.

    If you are consistently landing around the same spot, you have a comfort level for the speed you are hitting it at. Follow another rider who is clearing it to get a feel for their speed. Also, don't ease up on the gas as you start the jump face.

    The only tabletop I can clear is the one you put food on.

    Carry enough speed, then pin it all the way up the face of the jump. ;)

    Finally pegged it guys. Rode on Tuesday hit this jump over and over going a bit faster each time and finally clearing it. Feels good!

    Not bad for a 42 yr old fart!
