I admit I have to learn a lot. These were the very first attempts.

You should stop while you're ahead

LOVE IT!!!!!!! smoooooth like butta' Like riding on pillows. Those Live Valves are truly amazing.


Loren Healy broke the internet last year with this little excursion at King of the Hammers.






For those that might not know Healy's Bronc in that clip has Live Valve Fox shocks.

Close the thread. This was the perfect response. Can’t do any better so why try …

Besides a car lift, most bronco owners will never have a single tire off the ground. Gratz to you man. Best way to learn and gain some confidence is that side shot video.

Big difference between what it felt like vs what it looked like.

And you got me beat for longest sweet jump! Best I got is 2 wheels in the air doing the splits.

Right before the jump let off the gas, this compresses the front suspension, then immediately floor it. A blip off the throttle is the key to working the suspension. As the front leaves the ground the front should be decompressing/unloading from the engine power and the vehicle's sprung weight shifts to the rear. This stops the nose dive.

Same theory as doing a wheelie, compress the front then use that energy to rebound higher...

I do that with my Lambo all the time. What’s the big deal?

I think in a live valve setup, I am pretty sure the shocks go into 100% compression once it detects the wheels are off the ground
