Lighter gearing may help you in your mission,

as it'll give you more of an instant kick!

Learn to 'Pinch gap', you'll need to experiment tyre pressure's that will allow you to preload by squashing your tyre (like what big side hopers do) but will allow you to land without getting a pinch flat.

It's more about technique than set-up i'd say, especially if your using a standard gearing ratio.

I pedal up on pretty much everything, its something i need to get out of really, im trying to get out of it, but it feels so much easyer to just pedal up than any other way.

Doing that roll before a gap thing... bloody mystery that one, how can you not roll when you let the brake off and give it some? (22:18 ratio) I watch people do massive gaps and I just don't get it? Pinch gap... you still let the brake off and give it some yeah?

I should be riding right foot forward, what a mistake that was choosing my crappy left. I can pedal kick fine with my left (quick stab), but it acts like a spastic when I want to try the pedal up technique = rotation of cranks and then power.

...resulting in me having the idea of changing my brake levers around... rear is right etc! (oh what a f**k up :$ )

Probably more, but I'm depressing myself!
