Commitment. It's all about commitment. If you can not commit, your chances of failure are huge. If you can commit, even if it is something quite a bit larger than you have ever hit before, then there's a rather large chance you will ride out of it and be fine.

read this in a mag somewhere.
1) visualize yourself going off the jump
2) get ready for the run up
3) tell yourself you can do it and it's no biggie (helps if you have friends with you waiting for you to hit it)
4) don't second guess. as soon as you go up there just go
5) send her

Def. follow someone over it, following there speed. If you are going there speed and they can make it, stay loose and you can make it.

I like to train someone whos hit it before, so I know the speed, plus noone is watching me if they are all infront of me, that helps some people.

For a jump I always get someone to go first. Then I follow them with their speed.

Today I was at the park by myself and I'm still wanting to learn to air out (and back in) on the QP. I was coming up to it, but was going way faster than I normally do and since I don't have brakes there was no stopping, so off I went lol. End result was me casing (not really hard) and my rear sliding. Now that that's over, I'm not as nervous to try it anymore. And after the screw up, I now know that I need to go higher next time and not carve as much.

Guess when you screw up on a jump it helps. At least for me it does.

1) Balls

2) Trust your bike

3) Repeat this term in your head... "F*CK FEAR!!"

i like to roll up the jump a few times to get used to the size of it and the lip then just go for it, or do what my friend said to me when we were hitting this jump and just say f*ck it and go
