The first time you jump new trails, do you work your way through the section one double at a time (like turn out after the first one a couple times, then after the second and so on) or do you just go for the whole thing till you get it?

just go for the whole set, if you under or overjump a jump in the set then stop, but if you land the jump smooth then its a waste to just pull out for no reason.

If you feel good after you land a jump, go for the next one, but if you don't pull off and try them again until you get the whole set.

I like to follow somebody through the first time, train style,then your speed is just right. Just make sure your guide has them wired. ;)

i always hit the first one, and then go for the second jump if it hit the first jump clean. and if i hit the second one cleanly i go for the third jump, and then keep going and trying the next, if i hit the previous jump cleanly. but i've jumped enough rhythms sets, so i also feel very confident that i will bust it the first time anyway.

i usually make a rhythm in my first or second try. it might be ugly from a spectators point of view, but i made the line. then dial it the next time.......

depends on the line. i like to hit the first one, and most of the time it's pretty representative of the rest of the line. get that dialed, the hit the second one. here's the tricky part. mid-air on the second one, decide if ya feel good. if not, pull off quick, stop, and regroup yourself. if yes, then hit the third one. if ya eat it, well, **** happens, and i'm sorry keep going in the same way untill the line is your bitch
