I do enjoy the lessons , I think more goes into also ?
What about as you pull yourself to the cross bar and control through the air , do you brake tap on the bounce always or no ?

[@MXAthleteDevelopment]

sertone777 you don’t have to back brake tap on every seat bounce, if you are not “stretching” for more height then your bike should stay level if you leave the lip correctly. If you are trying to get up over a higher landing a back brake tap is usually good for keeping the bike stable once you’ve reached the height you need

@@MXAthleteDevelopment thanks alot for the response , brake tap for me right now is a big deal. Getting comfortable with body position to always be ready to brake tap in case I need to , is what I struggle with. On certain jump faces I freeze up a bit when I go to far back but I'm learning it's because I'm off balance leaving the face. Ugh !
