Get back on the seat, hold the throttle steady and don't panic. Use the throttle and rear brake to adjust in the air. Keep your knees and all joints "loose" too save stress on your body during landings. Start small and work your way up too bigger jumps. Ride within your own capabilities, not someone else's. Have fun.

Like was said before, go at your own level, but on the other hand, dont be afraid to improve on every jump. Try to get a biut farther every time. I have been trying to learn this one jump for a few weeks, It jumps up unto another level so you either barely go for it and land towards the bottom or gun it and clear it to the top. Well for a week i kept being scared and not really improving, but then I said forget it, I gunned it and cleared the top TOTAL SATISFACTION (or almost) at making it. The moral of the story? If you see that others can do it, you should be able to as well. Learn your machine and how it reacts and youll be fine...

First, wear your gear. Jumping without your gear is flirtin with disaster. Second, know your quad. Third, start small and work your way up. Most quads (every model is different!) you'll want to be slightly standing, leaning toward the back of the quad. Gas it on the face of the jump, and once you're airborne use your body weight (moving back and forth and side to side) to make the quad do what you want as far as corrections. Most riders like absorbing some of the impact with their knees (i do somewhat). Also, if you constantly are bottoming your suspension out chill out jumping so hard until you can get some better shocks. Constant bottoming does everything from bend pegs to break frames (usually at the worst time).Practice, have fun, and don't let anyone talk you into doing something you aren't ready for. Coming from experience, having the quad landing on you HURTS!! It's a sure way to visit Her Lady Of Perpetual Payment Hospital in a hurry!

The best tips are a premium helmet and a chest protector, handlebars hurt like h@** when the front comes down first.
