joshlyd1 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Ok well its baically preloading Preload - a preload is when you act as basically a spring , first as you are hoping try bouncing the bike more like a pogo stick for example . after try the gap again but remember to do this and chuck you and your bike onto the obstacle . If you would like to improve all round as it height distance etc , try making your moves more explosive . We all find we do this in the sport , try watching Damon watson, ben lazenby etc They all show preloading by lowering the front and exploding up just like a static jump with a bike attached to you .When you go to jump is another example , you find it hard to jump with straight legs , preload it basically acting as the spring off bending your knees etc Hope that hits the spot Im here all the time if you need anymore help Josh, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
