jumping ?
when i go off ramps to flats my front tire dives an hits first. which makes for tough landings, the only thing i have found that helps is to push my weight as for back as possible, which is still akward landing but more of a level one. i noticed another guy going off the same ramp with no problems at all, he had a fox air fork i have a cheap heavy coil spring fork. could it be the weight of my heavy fork pulling the front end down or is it just bad technique ?

It's technique...
Learning to bunny hop (even really low hops) will improve your launch timing.

you need some chickens to jump over to cushion the landing.
