When riding in the sand or mud, your body position changes. Your weight should be to the back of the bike to prevent the front wheel from bogging and throwing you over the bars. This will also give you greater traction. You will need to be hard on the gas to keep the bike gliding over the sand.

Basic Jumping Technique

Dirt bike jumping can be one of the most amazing feelings in the world - or it can be one of the scariest things you've ever experienced. Most of us know what it's like to hit a jump and go into a nose dive, pull an air-wheelie or even worse, miss the down ramp! It's definitely a gut wrenching feeling and often has bone breaking consequences.

Next time you're out hitting motocross jumps, step-ups or natural hill sides - think about these tips...

How To Jump A Dirt Bike

Most often it's best to be in the central standing position. When approaching the jump it's important to choose a good line and the correct gear. You don't want to hit it at an odd angle which could kick the rear out or send you off to the side. And you want to use an even throttle, or slightly accelerating as you leave the up-ramp. As you become better you can back off the throttle just as you leave the up-ramp which will help direct the front of the bike down for the landing over steeper jumps.

If you accelerate too much it can send you into an air-wheelie styled jump. If this happens, lean as far forward as you can, pull the clutch in and tap the rear brake to try pull the front of the bike down. Of course, if you're upside down already this won't work ;-).
