getting height

[bertie]

i can jump pretty far, and can get some decent height. but whenever i get any height i seem to go far too far! on big steep jumps i get maybe 2 foot of air, yet easily clear the jump. if i try going faster or boosting more i land on the flat about twice as far as i needed to go. iv tried going slower, do i just need to get the balance between speed and boost right?

anyone have any tips on how to get height without getting length?

how is that going to help me get height?

what cody said is what helps most of me boost...just tuck...and dive

[bertie]

i can dive and land cleanly and smoothly if i go low. i just want more air. is it just about getting the right balance between speed and boost?

pull up like you do with b-hops and when you think you got the highest point of the hop..pull up with the bars and lean all the way back so your ass is behind the wheel nearly

go to a tuck in the air so your ass is almost on the back tire

very true..:)
and to dip it even more..straiten ur arms and bend one knee more than the other. it makes your ass go off the side going lower than the tyre
