to the guy asking the question in the vid... the best answer may be that you should jump throttle closed only when you are set-up to need to get the nose down for a landing. such as a rhythm section, in which case you land with the throttle on and then coast into the next jump face. this will raise the tail end of the bike so you land nicely on the down slope. but this is for jumping a fairly short jump, so it works fine. if you chop the throttle on the ramp of a bigger/longer jump, you will be panic revving trying to stop the inertia of that unnecessary rotation. the point is you should not be doing what you say your trying unless the jump requires it. there is no special body positioning that is going to fix your problem, just throttle control. AJ's mention of being in a taller gear is another key point, because whether on a four-stroke in a "normal" gear, or a two-stroke in a lower gear... you will get a serious engine braking problem that no amount of revving in the air will fix. for beginners, the easiest technique to learn to jump with is to momentarily chop the throttle just before the base of a jump and then give the throttle a quick flick while going up the jump face. this quick flick does include chopping the throttle again, but you have just given the bike a burst of power that sets up the flight geometry in a way that keeps the bike level. it's easy to do and often ideal, but ideal is not always practical. in most racing applications there is no time for that chop/blurp style. however, if you have to keep the throttle open all the way up the face to make the jump, there is at least one key thing that must be happening to prevent a disaster, and that is accelerating. you cant just be flying along at a steady speed and hit a jump. you will endo. the run up needs to be short enough that the bike is accelerating all the way to, and up, the jump face. staying on the gas will still make the bike try to loop out, but only slightly. moving forward on the bike once in the air or tapping the rear brake will get the attitude under control. but the point is... practice the "power on all the way" option, not the "hitting off throttle" approach. the closed throttle take off will come to you naturally in the right application. it's not something you should be trying until other methods are mastered.
Thats a great question, Im not going to provide advice because Im not qualified, but it happens to me as well (however Im always hitting jump face too slow!)
Actually a good question. I'm a B level rider and my High D, low C level rider friend is really having struggles with jumps. But he's always front end high. He says he blips the throttle before take off cause he's been told to not let off or you will endo. But when I think about my own riding I honestly have no idea if I'm on throttle or off. But I know for a fact I jump stuff off throttle or i scrub/soak up the jump. There's a small table jump at the end of a long straight away and you have so much speed you actually hit the jump while braking. I think AJ, as knowledgeable as he is, will probably not be able to explain this on/off throttle in a way you would understand. I think it just comes from seat time and years of riding and just knowing how to jump your dirt bike. Just keep riding

2 stroke helps 😅
I'm totally in agreements with the shift 1313 charged anyway with a lot of speed chop the throttle halfway up the face float it😮
