All this is good and all but the key to whoops is the entrance. You want to go fast through them? Learn to start them right. Going into them leaning back on the first one is !BAD! your back tires will clip the second one and if your not wide open your gonna get mauled by your quad. Go into them steady and fast(comfortably) and stay centered on your quad over the first few then pin it and move back a little. Key to blitzing is getting all four tires to hit the exact same spot whoop after whoop, no buck, throwing, or bouncing, just blitzing. Your not riding a dirtbike, you cant wheelie through them, you can but nine times outta ten your gonna end up on your ass. Whoops are never even, so your back two tires are going to kick you left and right if your trying to wheelie. All four tires need to hit the top of every whoop to maintain speed, try not to dip into them, faster you get setup in the beginning the more speed your going to carry. You absolutely can not gain speed in whoops, you must try to maintain it by the entrance.

Everyone has some good input. Let us all know what you've tried and how you feel with it/what works for ya. I learn something new from everyone i ride with it seems likes so riding with someone definately helps.

Very good info. I try to keep the front light and skip the tops, usually 4th gear. Granted sometimes it's hard cause our woop sections are from 2 to 10 miles long at a time, yes dezert. They tend to turn into g-outs which are woops about 3 feet deep and close together. Getting a rythm in woops helps also but don't get tunnel vision. If there are some g-outs unfortunately you just have to crash through those things.
