[yz125dirtrider]

I have a YZ 125 and everytime i go for a jump that is 3 gear or higher and i hit it my front tire always drops and i land front tire first.I always have to down shift to a higher rpm so my front end dosent drop...what am I doing wrong??

[KTM21]

are you letting go of the throttle right before the edge of the jump?

[yz125dirtrider]

No, I am holding the gas wide open all the way up the lip...and i still nosedive...at the motocross track I ride on there is a long straitaway and there is a table top but I nosedive everytime I hit it...what do you think im doing wrong??

[KTM21]

look i'm no expert , I'm NOT the guy in this video..

[pollenbollen]

I tried that basic jumping technique but it didnt start tipping forward after that.. am i doing it wrong ?

[KTM21]

What bike do you ride , 65cc and 85cc mostly don't always tip forward , Tap your rear break to Bring your front down when your in the air , and remember to not let off the gas going on the jump.

excellent thanks for posting, good stuff that makes sense, but you really don't think about it  as well as the vid presents it

[pastranarules199]

this video is amazing!! it helped so much for people not nessicerily new to motocross and not advanced... it good for if you in between trying to reach that goal!! great video..

@yz125dirtrider hold it not quite wide open so that you have something extra to give at the lip to pick the nose up

[thehondaguy100]

@yz125dirtrider I have a 125 too and i do the same thing unless im in the power band, and im not saying to hit the jump faster and overjump it, just try to stay in a gear that you will be in the powerband when your going off the jump.

[StolenNikes]

@yz125dirtrider  you are going to slow .... i had the same problem

[jwctex14]

@yz125dirtrider Ok, I know I am really late to try and help you with this, but you need to be leaning back on the bike. I like to lean over the rear fender.

[OnCallDoctor]

@yz125dirtrider You are sitting too far back, your rear shock is sprining your rear up....

[pastranarules199]

@seeker292 Wow that comment was from a year ago. You just made me think back to what I was like a year ago. So thanks i guess

[seeker292]

@pastranarules199 agreed totally helps me oujt and im not that good but certainly not bad

[bostonnewsphotog]

Thanks for the tips!

[kawasakikaare]

I had the same problem, but as ouchmybrain7 says, you youst adjust it a bit higher, and do it before your going out riding again, i almost fucked up the axel because i would "hang" on it.
