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

    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love 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.

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

    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.

    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.
