I have looked for a while now for some tips or help on packer bumps (i think they are caled that anyway). I just need help on positioning ang and how fast i should go basically the starters on how to accomplish one. Don't get me wrong i have done quite a few and a couple of them are going in my new Stunt Video "Nrg Anarchy" but when i was watching the video "Shadow Riders" they done lots of bumps and they semed to them with usch ease. So surely someone can help me on this so.....any help will be appreciated... Greatly.

well, it's not something you can master overnight, that's for sure. but the best way to start out is to find a wall that is a little taller thant he packer and park the packer all the way up against it. practice "rear wheel" bumps, which are the most basic type. then practice "2 wheel" bumps which are sometimes easy and sometimes very difficult. then try doing a "rear wheel" bump using a taller wall where you have to put some space between the packer and the wall. packer positioning varies by how fast your approach is and how high the wall is. it basically requires you to use trial-and-error until you find the right positioning. then try doing a "2 wheel" bump with space between the packer and wall. there's also the "front wheel" bump which is arguably the most difficult but also the most unpredictable.

the 2 wheel goes the highest, front wheel goes the farest, rear wheel goes both but not as much. just my opinions

Listen to Buzzsaw hes the master at P2Bs.Heres my bit:

-When positioning the packer,find something to mark the packers current location.Like align the bumper with a pole,just in case the packer dissapears.Do this everytime you adjust the packer.

-Put the packer so that the ledge you are trying to bump from is slightly higher than the top of the ramp.

-Allways be persistant.Dont just give up a nice spot just because you have bailed a few times or cant get enough height.It takes time to get right but once you land it,you will feel far more proud.

Getting p2bs right is mostly about experimentation.Getting the packer location just right and gaining enough speed is hard,but if you believe you can do it,you will.

Remember when you're setting up a packer bump that the wall needs to be high enough for you to hit. Even when the packer is right next to the wall, the ramp only ends above the cab of the packer and you continue to move in the angle of the packer's ramp. If needed, you can put a ruler, or sheet of paper, or anything with a straight edge along the ramp of the packer on your tv/computer screen, and see how much you're going to hit the wall. Use the drive-by views for this.

after you've gotten good at p2b's you can move up to doing bumps off the side of a packer when the wall isn't tall enough.

I saw that vid, brainkiller, and I must say it was a nice one, but if you name it nrg anarchy, stick with the nrg 500 alright

I've also a question containing p2b,
when your bike hits the bump, and you fell of, is the packer than to close or to far away?

Too close, cause if it's too far away, you just fly over it, if you fall off when you hit the bump, try to do it once or twice more and try once to pull up the bike more, so that you're sure that it isn't you. If you still fall off, or stand still against it, move the packer a tiny bit backwards and try again

BUT, before u move it, keep on trying the packer bump with out moving the packer yet. Because it can also very on ur speed, control, angle and leaning stance. after 3 or 4 goes and u keep on smashing, move the packer back a bit. vice versa.
