Jumping and does suspension matter?

7 Upvotes

Hi,

Took my CRF300L to the motocross track the other day. This is my first summer riding bikes, I got about 9k KM experience on it so far, mixed road/dirt. Overall it was harder than expected but at the same time I feel like I was doing corners at a decent pace, didn't really feel that bad, but I was very scared to jump. There was nobody on the track, so I just pulled over and quickly checked the internet and it said that tabletops are the easiest to learn jumps on, so that's what I did.

Oh boy! I accelerated to about 35-40km/h, kept a steady throttle and the moment I reached the top of the incline, I got shot off the bike so hard, it was a miracle I didn't fall. The bike briefly left the ground and I left the bike :D I was standing up, doing a what I would consider a neutral position in the center of the bike, hips back, knees slightly bent. The only logical explanation I could come up with is that this was the suspension's fault? CRF300L has a notoriously soft suspension, so I'm thinking as I'm climbing the hill, the suspensions compresses and the moment the rear tire hits the top of the incline, I get launched upwards. But then I saw a video of Carson Brown ripping on a track with a CRF300L Rally, doing wild jumps.

Is this a me problem or a bike problem, or a combination of both?

First bike suggestions

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, i would need some ideas for a first bike. Im about 6’1 but the thing is that im only 14 years old and cant earn money until next summer (although im only gonna have enough in summer 2028, about 2600€ then but i cant earn any more until im finished with school in 2031), i know its not a lot of cash but ive seen some Suzuki 85s lately for under 2K€ used in my country (Austria), my previous experience also isnt that much but ive ridden a surron lbx that has about 12HP and my tuned 50cc supermoto with about 15-17HP, so power wise an 85 would just about not be overkill i guess. Just know im opposed to sth like a TTR230 or some small 4T like that and beginner trail bikes in general because of the limited suspension and mostly also limited power, because there will come a time in this bike’s life where it will be used on an MX track. I guess if i wanna be future proof i could mayyyybe handle a 250 4T but id rather not go big from the beginning. Also for most bikes in this price range im forced to buy Suzuki, are the bikes good enough quality wise?

Sorry for this long rant, i hope its not too much. I know it might be a hard task to suggest something within such a low price range. Thanks!

Spent some time talking to graphic designers, race promoters, collectors and vintage apparel shops to see why some of us care (more than some others) about old and loud '80s neon t-shirts.

Thanks for reading!

I have been reading a lot of feedback on various MX Bikes games and thought I would create something with a little help with AI and have made this early access version, will always be Free to play and any feedback will really help shape this game to be even better. Hopefully see some of you on the track!

Yamaha could be set to leave the MX2 grid! A strange decision considering the BluCru is one of the primary feeder series to the competition! 🤔

RMZ450 or RMZ250

Been off a dirtbike for about 4.5-5 years now.. had to test out of a union apprenticeship and couldn’t risk getting hurt riding MX. I used to practice 250B Jump all the jumps and race 250C on weekends. Trained with a MX school for sometime too. Honestly not looking to race, rather just hit some tracks. Jumps, and free ride. I’m about 25 pounds heavier now. Race weight was formerly 165 roughly. Now 190. I used to get bored of the 250F and I won’t lie I’ll most likely be a lazier rider years later. Not looking to corner AS hard. Assuming a 450 would last longer however a 250F still may be a more enjoyable experience. Was also considering a 350F for that middle ground. Input is welcome still looking to do some skilled riding

Was watching the interview with Roger De Coster on Swap Moto. They started talking about the Coenans and Roger said "Yeah, we're all pretty worried about Sacha". It made this pop into my head, especially after seeing him race in the US. First thing I ever generated with AI.

Couldn't get it to do what I actually wanted. I ain't paying money for this or AI at all. I wanted him to be punching the track and screaming with the track taking the beating. Then he starts to hump the track and it slaps him to the ground. Lol

Had 2 more to post, hopefully it will let me put them in the comments.
