Jumping A Lt

[zillaguy89]

yeah don't ever let off the throttle on the ramp, thats askin for trouble like 91LT said.

Yeah you have to gas it right before a jump to preload the suspension also. That helps keep the nose up. My biggest problem is I'll gas it to much and end up landing vertical doing a big ass wheelie.

Im not sure on a LT, but on a Blaster its freakin easy to jump, its like it was made for me to jump it...today me and my friend went riding down some trails to a jump a found, I got him to take pics of me jumping and some other stuff....I'll have the pics up within a week or so..just keep steady on the throttle till your close to the top of the jump and blip the throttle..well thats how I do it...good luck and take the small jumps and work your way up.

My LT flies great, but it takes some getting used to. I used to ride bikes before making the switch. Bikes are LOT easier to throw around and correct when you are in the air, vs. a quad. You get a quad way sideways in the air or start a nose dive, look for a safe place to bail b/c your just along for the ride. Like everyone else says, just start out little. Crashing hurts

The best thing to do when you first start jumping is to hit the powerband as youre coming off the lip of the jump, once you start getting used to it you shouldnt have to hit the gas when coming off the jump, so you pretty much hit the powerband right before your up to the face of the jump.

you just have to get used to hitting every jump how it needs to be hit. always give it gas to keep the front light. I usually just manhandle the quad in the air to straighten it out if the jump wasn't level. I've never tried braking or gassing in the air to do anything like that.

I can't wait to jump my LT it is going to have a wide stance for an LT. +3 arms and +4 rear

The LT is pretty stable on jumps and pretty easy to control in the air. But for starters like everyone said start small and don't worry about messing with the brakes and thorttle during the flight. Try to find some small jumps that don't have much transition then once comfortable then you can try the ones that throw you up and out instead of just out. Don't get too cocky on the size of the jump, LT shocks aren't the greatest. Here's a pick of my last big jump with OEM shocks. I bottomed out so hard my lower back too the rest of the shock that my suspension didn't take. Needless to say I go smaller now. Keep the gas constant and lean back alittle. -Mark

No offense meant by this but is there a reason your hitting a jump like that without a landing. That jump would be alot of fun if there was a landing for it and it wouldnt hurt at all to land it.

I can't really tell you. I just saw some bikes hit it and some quads did as well. The quads getting little air, so I justed decided to go big like the bikes did.
