Just feels so different from ht's. Am I right about compressing both the front and back equally and staying centred until i hit the lip? ie compressing the bike into the transition.

I do not mean trails jumping, just regular kickers.

cheers

i prefer the run up, triple back flip and land on the seat technique, though does depend on how high your seat is ๐Ÿ˜‰

Whistle to it with two fingers in your mouth.

Side vault over the saloon balcony as 'it' runs under, land squarely in the saddle and spur your way outa Dodge. ๐Ÿ˜›

I find the action about the same but you need to do it earlier and more emphasis on compressing the back end.

just push into the take off and soft lock. timing may slighly delay due to compression

rockets are a good idea. two on your back and some smaller ones on your shoes. take some picture so we can see how you get on.

Yeah I agree with Jedi, offset your side wind shock momentum setting and lower the rear antiplex polynomial side arm, then fall off.

Awesome.

Sell it and buy a HT.

Or hit every little hump in the trail at warp factor on zillion and then much gnarl air will be gifted your way ๐Ÿ˜†
