and about that, how am i ever supposed to be educated on my bike if you wont even help me out with a some what simple problem?
Sorry im not trying to be a jerk im just trying to help you realize everyone has to start off new to the sport at some point, my time is now, i just need someone to teach me the ropes. Thats why i came to this forum website
people are trying to help you, but you have to give us the info to do so. that was why i asked about your brakes/fork/setup. can't help you fix something if we don't know what it is...
work your way through this for your brakes:

and yes, yes there is injury at your age. you may not feel so, but trust me - there is.
need speed for the jumps? pedal faster.
