I think the security guard on the scooter is stealing riding technique tips. Notice the hand to the chin.

If you hit that jump sitting down you would probably end up in the ambulance.

Not sure bout that one, but I believe.....If the suspension does not rebound hard enough to give extra boost on a jump, then how do yo explain the endos or near endos from the rear tire catching a log or a lip????? The take off trajectory plays in too, but i believe the supension being preloaded and coming unloaded increase the arc.....i.e. preloading while standing before a jump......Where is SH105 on DV12? ask them....lets see thier opinion...

The pros were asked last time and have weighed in on this in magazine articles over the years even before the "big debate". The stupid idiots said that the suspension settings did make a difference, a big difference. feckin looooosers, how would they know? I mean, people that do not ride or more importantly do not race, know much more about real world results on track right?

I guess you've never ridden a BMX else the answer would be painfully obvious.

Durham did that, barely held on long enough to get past one of the gnarly square edges after it before planting his face into the ground.

It's all about the CoG, not the bounce.

Pushing the backwheel in from a short run off can give extra drive right thru to the last tip of the upramp,without having to change body position from a corner, the preload of the spring can help you stand up and attack again. Just what i coach in Aus anyway.
