they are the eaisest of all. as you are already pointing at the landing. so its like a flat to flat

I was a bit scared of one near us, but Jedi's right. No hard landing. Just have to remind myself to keep right back. I'm not much of a jumper, but most jumps on steep slopes seem to be easier to hit at low speeds, as it's not up then down with a bang.

Crank your rebound up to the max and gun it.

I did one or two littluns fine but then there was one maybe two foot high and I took the chicken run I've done bigger but that old chestnut of the weight feeling too far forward came up..

Also keep the bars straight, I have a habit of pulling them up to the left when jumping, and forget to straighten them up on landing. Equals Crash.
