Hey all.
On jumps with tight kickers or a rock/log/lip at the top of the launch I'm getting bucked forwards and copping a seat in the backside or landing in unintentional nose manuals. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
On a steel hardtail so no rear squish adjustments to contend with.
Seems to be conflicting opinions out there. Some suggest more weight thru the front of the bike on transition to preload the forks then pull up. Others say lean right back and do all the compressing and exploding with your legs.
I'm pretty sucky at jumps in general but I'd like be able to to hit up smaller ones with a bit more confidence.
Cheers.
