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.

On top of what others have said, you actually don’t have to be *that* accurate for those relatively small jumps. Just err on the long side and the suspension will absorb most of the impact.

Also that kind of ramp is what these people spend all day practicing on so the feel for the approach speed just becomes second nature.
