[QUOTE="James, post: 86788, member: 2"] That's a really tough choice to make, especially when it has to be a split second decision. Oh and there's not a right or wrong answer. :bonk: My philosophy has always been to stick with the bike no matter what, unless of course you're underneath the bike (it's going to land on you). Your bike has a pretty darn good suspension, so why not use it? Yes you'll still go flying and yes you'll probably still injure yourself. However (in theory) the suspension hitting the ground/jump backside first should slow you down at a slower rate. Instead of you directly hitting the dirt first. Think of it like the SAFER walls in NASCAR. :noidea: With that said I'll probably still bail as reflexes are taking over at that point. :lol: :facepalm: When is your LLQ? [/QUOTE]
