Whenever I hit a jump on my friends dual sus, it's always perfect. If i hit it on my very agrresive hardtail, I notice I go to the left in the air and land wrong. I have no idea why. Help?thanks

It's probably because the bike is lighter and as you leave the lip you're pulling up on the bars with your hands throwing you off balance because you're pulling one side mkfd than the other. The best way to avoid this is try and manual with the lightest grip you can get because the most important part is shifting your weight and you should very rarely have to pull up on your handlebars.

so treat the lip as a drop?
