Fair enough. Sounds about right.

Thx for all the suggestions. This video is about 4 months old and I now have a 525sx and don't do it near as much. It still happens every once in awhile and I just dont like the hard landings when it happens.

Kenny and VintageDave. Yes this video was before I had a guy help me tune my suspension on the CR. He said that my rebound was too fast and that everytime I was going up a ramp face the front end looked like it wanted to get air before it even left the face. Maybe this is part of the problem.

Ive had my suspenion done by MXtech now on my KTM and love it. If the rebound was the case with my Honda maybe a few clicks slower on rebound may help me on the new bike.

Also for the suggestion of leaning over the bars, this is what I usually do now and it must be working for the most part. When I get tired I dont feel comfortable and start to lean back more just hanging on for dear life. Guess it hurts the balancing act.

Its really nice having video so I can get suggestions and you guys can see and hear what Im doing wrong. Ill have to get some videos of more recently so I can get some more great tips. Like how to loft the wheel all the way through whoops

That 525 would be a beast to throw around. I salute you!

It likes wide open If Im not lining up for a jump or entering a corner thats where it stays.

Ive heard that you're NEVER supposed to grab the front brake. Try tapping the back brake without pulling in the clutch. It works for me, anyway.
