[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 216805, member: 3959"] 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, [I]but I was not intending to get sideways like this[/I]. 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? [/QUOTE]
