how to do a drop off

[bounceswoosh]

I love riding down a little bridge and dropping off it. However, no matter how hard I try, I can't land with both tires, just the front one. I lean over the handle bars to compress the shock and then just as I leave the bridge, I pull up and still the bike lands front wheel first. I've practiced going off our deck as well and I can't seem to nail it. What's the secret to the technique?

How much of a drop?

I don't / haven't really done drops like this, but my bet is that you need to get your center of gravity further back by moving your butt behind the seat.

But, again, I really haven't done this, so this is pure conjecture. On descents you want to get your CoG back to prevent flipping the bike, so that's where I'm coming from.
