Hi i am going to attempt my first road gap this weekend and i was wondering if i could get some tips on how i can hit the jump perfectly well with some practice...???

Most road gap jumps I have saw really don't require a lot of jumping skill. Just the balls to do it. They usually require a lot of speed around 18-20mph or so and then just go off the lip and hang on. They are usually like step down jumps but you are hitting them with lots of speed.

I say practice on some smaller step downs which don't require as much speed and then you can move up to the larger jump. Make sure you are totally armored up, and hopefully the jump has a good run in and run out.
