Good pics. That track can get quite dusty at times.

great photos,pic #2 second lot of pictures, this is what happens to me when I do jumps, not that a DR350 is made to do that, but why does the bottom drop like that when I go over a table top or similar, Ive seen guys go over the same jumps and they seem to keep the bike level, what am I doing wrong and what do I do to correct it.

use your front or rear brake a little to bring the front wheel back down

versly, give it some gas if you wanna bring the front wheel up.

dont listen to him, he cant jump either! haha. give ya rear shock a bit more rebound,

dose tapping front brake really drop the front?

Are you giving the throttle a bit more gas as you launch? that will do that.

whatever works i guess

Front and back both work... But the back wheel has more weight spinning around (Heavier wheel, hub, chain sprockets ext..) therefore having more effect when the brake is applied in the air.

How are you recovering mate?

Dunno 'bout now, but it was the opposite when I mxed, the front was too damn violent as it stops much easier and doesn't accelerate again.....give it a go if ya keen....I did find out recently that it's real easy to stall a fourstroke mid flight, and they land real hard without the engine going....

From all teh guys I've tracked (through a camera) and taken photos of, I've always seen people leave the front alone and use the throttle and rear brake to control orientation of the bike.
