idk, ive never had a perfect day tig, so i may be wrong. i bottom out every time im there, but i thought it was because i wasnt landing right. i only do it 2-4 times though

I bottom out my suspension at the track too and I guarantee it is not because I am riding too hard. Everyone lands wrong on some jumps and I definitely do.

speaking of landing wrong, you shouldve seen my landing yesterday. i was trying to whip, and tried to kick my swingarm over, but when i put my boot back, i didnt know i had put it on the rear brake, and made for a sketchy landing lol!

No-footers did that to me on the 250. I would land and just stall the bike out. I have also landed perpendicular to jump faces more than once while attempting whips.

but to the op, i realized that you probably arent beating the bike enough. you should be revving pretty high, you might be being too nice. alot of the time my buddy will be in 4th around a corner, while im in 3rd going just as fast, but with wayy more torque redily available
