    Motorcycles doing the big jumps in motocross use the gas and brake to pitch up and down too.

    The ratio of mass and rotation speed to total mass is high enough for it to make a difference.

      Yeah! Recently, a pro racer nosed-over too much off a jump but had the presence of mind to upshift three times while WFO to save a crash. Insane.
