Default Starting the new year off right...

With a right side whip. First "official" one I've ever done and now I can't stop wanting to do them.

I hope I progress much further sideways as the year goes, and will need some balls to try them over some of the BIGGER tables/doubles.

Hit my first triple out at Monkey Island MX in Kerrville. Sweet ass track btw

This was end of the day and most of my energy was spent, so I tried using the motor in the air...

OK, help me out here.....does the rear wheel spinning faster promote the front dipping? Or is that when you lock the rear brake mid-air?

I can't quite figure out how to rotate the bike to get the front tire where i need it for landing. I.E. SOME jumps it seems I'm sliding off the back of the seat while others I'm about to flip over the bars....how do I control that mid-air?

Since taking the 450 to motard only I only HAVE the 400E to ride in the dirt...and since she's a heavy pig, no whips but I still like a little air....just need it to be under control!
