Riding motocross can be very fun but it also takes skill. The rider needs to know how to handle his bike so he doesn't get hurt. When attempting to hit a big jump the rider needs to know a few basic skills to be successful.

First off, it is important for the rider to be calm and patient. Look at the size of the jump and maybe even roll over it so you can get the feel of it. The rider needs to start slow and build up the jump distance that he wants to make. It is also very important to have confidence when attempting to hit a big jump. If you think you will wreck, more than likely you will, so be confident and know that you can do it.

When coming up on the face of the jump, correct body positioning is essential. You want to be in the centre of the bike, not leaning forward because then you will go over the handlebars. After you have hit the jump and you are in the air you need to look forward and spot your landing. Make sure that when you land you are on the throttle, because you might land in sand or some other unstable ground, so make sure you are on the gas hard when you land.
