i don't think anyone mentioned : DO NOT GRAB THE FRONT BRAKE IN THE AIR! .... bad things can happen quickly. there are times when it works but that is in the advanced class...
Can you enlighten us?
yes more more more!!!
Just give it a go on your next ride and report back with photos of the end result please
If you stop the wheel rotation in mid air you lose the gyro effect of the wheel and the bike is only half as stable as with both turning. Depending on the attitude of the bike at the time the wheel stops turning it will have a tendency to picth forward or backwards (it also depends on wheather you're on or off the throttle at that moment). The other thing that can end being bad is that when the front whell touchs down it's not moving and must suddenly accelerate to the speed of the bike, or slow the bike down to meet it (think endo).

One thing though, as you're doing more and more jumps, do you wear a neck brace? If you don't, you should, if not for yourself do it for your kids.
I'm not saying that you'll get hurt unless you wear one, I'm just a strong believer in safety gear that works.
i still dont even have a chest protector
The prices have become a "little" bit more reasonable.wouldnt mind wearing one but they are expensive and i keep spending my extra cash on other things.... i still dont even have a chest protector
Plus you like being roosted!
I have to have one. I am just that damn slow.

I do have a question... What chest protectors do these work with. Are they pretty universal?
