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.

Travis Pastrana, the original moto x innovator just to do high school physics, using free body diagrams for most of his stunts ack in the day. They also have courses at home that have the exact same jump with a type of air cushioned ramp to help with fall while perfecting it. When you see these guys perform it in front of people they can do it it literally 99/100 or better on the practice ramp before attempting it on a ramp without the safety guards never mind in front of people.
