Post by: mr.magoo on January 13, 2009, 02:25 PM: manuals probably faster, especially watching the 17+ payback, but prefer to jump what ever i can, i think you get better pump on landing, but i know on occassions i loose ground whilst in the air, its ok, as long as you get the landing right, and have the line to carry the speed on landing

Post by: Dark Diggler on January 14, 2009, 07:52 PM: I found I was faster if I pump usually, but new tracks are different, jumping and manualling are the way forward, I am 1 year into this racing malarky and at 36 have alot to learn, I started jumping the bigger stuff towards the end of the summer (with a view to racing cruiser the odd meet-I race O/S ) with success in fairness, but inexperience crossed with over eagerness has cost me 4 months (up to now :( ) due to a freak accident on a set of doubles, do what feels best as confidence grows with track time :daumenhoch:

Or do what Hunterdubber does and just hit everything at speed and sideways ;D

Post by: Dingobmxer on January 15, 2009, 06:02 AM: learn to manual properly and that will help you maintain the speed needed for the jumps where you HAVE to jumps :daumenhoch:

Post by: hunterdubber on January 15, 2009, 05:09 PM: But Diggler has another technique he's perfecting other than the normal

manualing , pumping or jumping

it's more of a front crawl action :shocked:
