For those who worry about bottoming out on jumps.
Spending a lot of time tuning shocks for landing without bottoming out is a BIG fail.....
Listening to the trucks at the Cactus Classic you could hear all of them slapping the ground over the triple.
if you spend all the time getting it to NOT bottom it will be WAY too stiff for the rest of the track.
Landing off the jump takes up about 5 feet of about a 250 foot long track which is about 2 % of the track. that means 98% of the track your shocks are too stiff.
It really isnt a big deal that it bottoms out.
