FEEDBACK for @Beau Mate this is a cracking ride, you are doing really well! Keep it up. So these are to give you something to go work on experiment well. Simply put these are the Major points for you to work on; PUNCH Approach this two ways to get more lift and less back wheel kick. when you do them correctly the rear will feel stuck to the rock. - Lift early, long carry of front, and touch the front lower, to get more stop of the front wheel. - Lift late and close to the step, and focus the punch into the rock on the way up. GAP - Try not to lift onto the rear, then jump (even though its great) - Stay low and back to drive the take off, - Allow you and the bike to rotate more (like looping out). The sensation is pushing the back wheel across the gap - This puts the impact force into the back wheel and then your legs can absorb the impact, and smooth out the front wheel placement. Once you build that feel, you'll be able to stop shorter and shorter. If this doesn't make sense or if you have other questions let me know!!
