If you watch the amazing DVD created by Simon from "Fluid Ride", you will notice:
- getting small before the drop and with the subsequent leg extension erasing the height of the drop by quite a bit
- subsequent leg extension from being very small allows you to dictate bike placement on landing and not just sitting on top of it as an ejection seat
- basic technique: correct timing, hips back creating pressure on the palms of the hands preventing front wheel dipping
- linear helmet travel on the diagonal as per "racer style" explanation by Simon
