need help jumping my Pede
Okay I have been having fun trying to jump my pede, it jumps really good BUT.... I have a 2 foot wide by 2 foot high wood jump I made, the truck jumps great off of it, but I have on my track at my house one of the sides is a crosstie with dirt on it for a Burm and well I have been useing it for a jump (jumped into my yard the grass) its on a stright away on the track so you can get plenty of speed..
well I can go slow and hit it and it flys stright and lands great but acorse doesnt go all that far, I want to go full speed or just about and hit it, but everytime I do the nose goes stright up in the air, this making the back hit the ground first, or sometimes it will land on its top. (not too good I'm scared I am going to breck something(plus the battey moves when this happens)
can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong, I know if you hit the brakes while the nose it up it will go down right!
as long as it only up a little bit I can do this but when i hit hard and it go stright up i never seem to be able to get the nose down ...
it would be cool if when the nose went up if I could make it to a backflip but not sure how i could make it rotate the rest of the way around.
this thing is going pretty fast.

while the truck is in the air you use throtle to make it do a back flip or brakes to nose down (or front flip) BUT if you are already going full speed when you hit the ramp the back flip wont work. also you say it sometimes wont nose down. do your brakes work good? if not that maybe the problem.

well it has brakes but not all that great. it sdtops good tho if ur holding it off the ground so i would think it would work in the air, maybe not not pressing all the way brake.
well i have been going full speed then like 2 feet from the jump letting off the gas and letting it roll over the jump. so i can either hit the gas or brake.
when i go slow over it i just never let off the gas and it does great.
