How do motor cross riders know how fast to hit a ramp/jump to land safely on the downramp?

Like, how do they figure out how to not overshoot or case it? Was just watching a guy hit a heap of jumps in an arena and he got every single landing perfect.

The real eli5 is they’ve practiced a lot so they “just know” what gear and how much throttle.

If you go out to any amateur track and watch the weekend warriors, they case (come up short) and overshoot landings constantly.
