Whoops There It Is
Whoops, or whoop-de-doos as they're known in old school parlance, are closely spaced bumps usually found in heavily used sections of a trail. (If you're a skier, think of a mogul run. Same idea.) Creating a roller-coaster effect when riding up one bump and down the next, whoops can be approached in one of two ways. Both should be done while standing on the bike's footpegs. This is the first and more basic method:
1. Ride at a slow or moderate pace, keeping both wheels on the ground.
2. Use your legs and arms as shock absorbers while keeping your weight directly over the center of the motorcycle.
3. Establish an appropriate and comfortable speed and rhythm over the bumps. (There's a reason a set of whoops is often called a "rhythm section" in off-road racing.)
