Sorry... As you lose your balance on the way up a big jump face and

body goes back.. it causes you to draw on the throttle... As your body
goes back, the throttle opens more, and you go back further, etc....
the
bike gets away from you and in this case, climbs a jump face, flys ten
feet in the air without me, and comes back down on top of me I
am in
pain... Life is good

Let us know when you post the video. ;-)

No vids today It sucked.. didn't look as good as is sounded. I didn't
even "do a cool trick on the way down"...


You just went limp and dropped like a sack of potatoes? I thought you
were a better showman than that. ;-)


I guess... All I remember thinking is "oh ****, the wife is gonna' be so
****ed if I break an ankle"... I got up and rode again though, went
after that jump again too... Got it


===

So just as a matter of curiosity, how do you do that maneuver
*without* the accidental bike launch?

Don't lose your balance... I got my weight too far back on the ramp and
corrected the wrong way.
