Good to hear. I still suggest you try those learning exercises. Keeping central on the bike aint good enough, since when you are not central (one day), then you are screwed. Make sense? Kinda like you are leaving yourself zero room for error. eg. What happens if you cop an elbow/bump on your approach?

i am no FMX rider either but my more experienced friend gave me a few tips i found helpful.
1. lift your bum just off the seat before the jump.
2. don't look at the lip of the jump as you approach it.Look pat the landing point and straight ahead (easier said than done)
3.once you feel you are lined up BE COMMITEDand keep power on . if your not happy with your approach back off throttle and cruise over it.

sori to get off track, but jsut needed to ask this i have read the track building tips on the dirt wurx site, and i was wondering if the method that they proposed of for every 1 bucket of dirt up you go 1 bucket of dirt out? this would make a 45 degree angle, is this too steep for a pitbike?

ok this is how i do it (and i have had coaching from a coach) but ths mite not work for some of the bigger guys that carnt grip the seat with their knees.

1. try to grip the seat wit your knees (again big riders carnt)

2. lean back but not too much just get ur wieght over the bak a bit

3. if you want to get higher or longer air, at the lip of the just give the throttle a rev- it does work

4. in the air make sure you knees are bent and your arms are too this will help and dont turn the bars during the airtime- it will whip you out, and try to keep the weight over the back- well untill you need to land, cause if you land too far on the back wheel it wont be good

5. it the jump puts you off balance in the air or put you off when u land or gives you too much speed for the next obsticle - either dont do the jump completely, go halfway (if it a tabletop) fid another path that doesnt put you off.
