Get padded up and practice  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

iv tried evrything. i know alot of you guys ride ride new school as well as old school. Im well ok  jumping new school but getting back on me old school i suck big time its not fear or anything like that iv raced so many times on BSX iv been on the same start gate as Dylon Clayton and Ste geal jumping the same as them so height distance etc is not the issue. the problem i have on my old school is that when i take off i seem to be pulling the bike to my right which means my bike go's wonky in the air which forces me to put my left leg out in the air to stable the bike and me landing with my leg out hitting the floor when i land the bike. iv tried going back to basics and starting off small but even on the smallest wimpyest jumps i still get the same result. What can i do to sort myself out?
