Sounds like you need to adjust your float level in your carb. The bumps are sloshing the fuel around inside the carb and causing the trouble. My 98XR250 will do the same thing over lots of whoops if I don't keep the throttle open enough.

Does your carb have a plastic shroud covering the main jet? XR400's and 600's had a bell shaped plastic shroud over the main jet to prevent sloshing and starving the main jet when you go over bumps. The float level as mentioned could also cause the fuel starvation.
