At the track today I found myself getting a little sideways in the air a bunch of times. I know this is common for experienced riders, but I was not intending to get sideways like this. I've done it before by accident with similar results as today (flying off the track), but normally I line up straight and come off straight.
Why is this happening?
I have been getting better at cornering and have increased my exit speeds, and I have also been working on clearing a couple table-tops, so I'm trying to jump farther too.
A couple times I was pitched nose-down so my front tire landed first. It wasn't very fun feeling. I'm pretty sure my rear tire was 9-10 inches out of alignment with the front.
Whats going on here?
Is this something I need to fix, or is this just a new normal issue that comes with gaining speed?
Could it be the bike I was riding?
