ATV jumping practice on Raptor 700 at Sand Lake

We stopped by a little bump in the sand to practice jumping for the first time.  It was about a 2 foot high bump which is kind of hard to see in the video because it is pretty small.  I think it was at least 10 feet wide though so plenty of area to start jumping.

The first couple of jumps I did, I felt like I almost face planted.  My head kept going over the handle bars when the tires landed.  My fat boy buddy told me it was because I slowed down as soon as I hit the bump.  He said I should give it some gas as soon as I hit it.  So, after I started doing that, the jumps went much better.  Thanks Charles!

This was at Sand Lake, Oregon in November 2013.
