I roll off and cry…. Because superbikes were not meant to jump… buy a motocross bike if you wanna do that.. bah humbug
It’s quite different now, since the mountain has been resurfaced. It feels less aggressive but as a result I found it unsettled the bike when getting full lift off. Quickest route for me was to get enough lift with a little bit of roll off to drive off the top.
When I got air the engine spun up and it was "unsettling" when it landed. Not sure if mid air I should roll off?
I am a bit of a wimp, head straight through the middle of the mountain and roll off enough to keep the wheel down now but partly not my fault! I got comfy on the R6 letting the front come up till seeing someone lift the front not even very high, get a speed wobble on landing and end up almost buried in the marshall hut at entry slip its kind of put me off! So, since having the 959 I dont really want the same thing to happen, so kind of got brain freeze on it now
Can’t say about the mountain at Cadwell on a litre bike, but whenever I used to do jumps on a motorcross bike you’d need to roll off once the back wheel was off the ground!
If you look at Brooke’s and co who are great over the mountain that’s what they are applying: the rule of jumping anything on two wheels. The stunt jump guys use the gas as a means to increase or decrease the front wheel lift.
If you don’t roll off, you’ll be off. I’ve seen some right carnage from when people try too hard…. ‘Did you get a picture!!’ Oh yes, a fekin beauty!!
