I just got back in to riding after being off for 10 years. I have a yz 125 and I weigh 180 pounds and am a C class rider. With all that being said, I feel like every time I jump I go nose high like a goon. I look like Ronnie Mac out there!!! I don't want that. I don't think it is my technique as it happens no matter if I am leaning back on the jump or jumping the jump in the middle of the bike. I think it is my suspension but I don't know what to fix on my suspension to keep this from happening. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Do that for the compression on top and rebound on the bottom. Also with all the shock adjusters, then have someone help you set the sag.
Hope this helps get you started.

If so, then get your weight more forward on the jump face.

A good example is at like 2:33 in this video, the first jump there I am wide open off so I can make it on my 125 and then the next jump into the left hander is smaller and you can hear I'm not on the throttle off the face like the previous jump (but I was on the throttle a little bit before the take off to keep my momentum up).
