How NOT to get BUCKED on JUMPS!

[@Trejsir9]

I have to say - as a female MTB rider similar in body to Christina - it’s so nice to see a girl out riding like I do and working on some skills!! Great teaching as well. 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@grandbuba]

If anything, it's not an excuse anymore.. 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYHXmoKAjJhkjtk

[@pkvillager]

Good job Christina! Lots of respect coming back to the jumps you crashed on!

[@annekebeerten]

Definitely!

[@BlackFlag94]

For sure the hardest part of jumping is letting yourself jump

[@ShadLife]

I like what she said about being scared to succeed. I am pretty good at jumping most jumps. But as the speed increases and the jumps get bigger, I feel that fear of succeeding so I oftentimes will absorb the lip at the last second rather than preload and stand up. A ride may know what to do, but then they have to commit to the action to make it happen and that can sometimes be the biggest challenge.

[@michaelreynolds6543]

ha aint that the truth i have the same problem im a little cautious to fully commit its annoying i know what i have to do , ive done it but sometimes it just does not come together "scared to succeed" indeed!!

[@erichbachman7363]

The colored cones was clever! Also that paint job on the stumpy is sick!

[@annekebeerten]

Thanks!

[@355security9]

Well done ladies. I'll have a go now.

[@annekebeerten]

Good luck!

[@wrongusername]

Is anyone else seeing that she is actually getting more bucked in the later runs? she doesnt release the preload and when she goes over the lip she actually pushes the front more down which makes her rotate more forward. If anything her hips are even more back in the later runs. I'm not critizising the student, but if i was taking the lesson, i would appreciate the teacher recognizing that fact. Look at 2:35 vs 6:37.

[@annekebeerten]

Thank you for your feedback. As I mentioned at the end of the video, Christina still has some work to do in improving her technique. Im trying to keep these videos as real as possible and not sugarcoat it and make everything look perfect. Towards the end Christina was getting more fatigued and like you said a few earlier attempts where a bit better. Never the less she did great! I would like to show the viewer that it takes time to learn the right skill and show you ways that will hopefully help you improve. It’s always easier said then done, and I could be another pro just telling and showing you how to jump. But there is so much more to it and I hope you can relate to these students that it is not that easy. I was pleased to see Christina building her confidence, able to come in with more speed, less fear and attempting the two table tops in a row while making small body improvements. Happy trails and I’ll make sure to be more critical in the next video while still staying positive and stoked ;)

[@ExplosiveNotes]

@@annekebeerten It looks from here like so: Christina did progress on the mental side of things and she didn't crash once. On other hand handlebars are getting yanked from her on each attempt. ... I'm having hard time trying to pin down where the, let's say, story telling disconnect is. Maybe voice over for the slomo parts, which would point out details in technique that improved would help. Probably my untrained eyes / brain focused too much on the bucked vs not bucked. I rewatched it couple times and found out she is less passive on the take off in later attempts. Somehow leading viewer more to that being the "moral" of the story, might help. Maybe I just stuggled to focus on details, because she still get pretty kicked and that's scary to watch. Emotion getting in a way of rational analysis. I'd love to give you more exact idea about what could make the video "translate" better, but I'm really not sure. I hope this helps at least in some way.

[@bullit4x]

Rebound is the problem. Slow that sh!t down

[@gmas135]

Timing is all wrong. Preloads way earlier and stands up way later

[@wrongusername]

@@annekebeerten I agree that there definately was progress, but I dont think i agree on the things you highligted as progress. As @ExplosiveNotes put it below, there definately was progress on the mental side, which is awesome. Tis means she probably wants to hit up jumps more and progress even faster. Also her starting to preload at all is huge. But the narrative and the conclusion on your part were a bit lacking and as a viewerwhat ou said did not align with what i saw. Very cool that you are doing these videos and very brave that Christina agreed to be on it, im not criticising that at all.

[@ftrujillomunizaga]

Good job! Takes a lot of courage to get back on the bike, I crashed 6 months ago broke my rear mech and my full face helmet, still gathering courage to try it again, I'm still scared 😂 so I'm definetely inspired by Christina!

[@deater_ski]

Wow girl get it ! I love seeing everyone out riding and getting better. MTB is just an amazing sport.. I hope others see this and get inspired !

[@annekebeerten]

Thanks!

[@MTBPerspective]

So awesome to see someone comeback from otb and get their mojo back!

[@annekebeerten]

It is!

[@tomcoccia7348]

These tips were great! I've had the same problem and will definitely try these tips.

[@tinnywalker2533]

So impressed..!!! Great teaching and a superb student....!!!!

[@annekebeerten]

Many thanks!

[@johnparrish336]

👍🏼Great video!

[@robertcurtis3807]

She’s done GREAT!

[@blueengel68]

Thanks for sharing the length of the session. It can be frustrating to not see improvement after a few runs. This shows its going to take a bit more effort.

[@annekebeerten]

Yes, i would like to show people it takes time and repetition!

[@Frorideism]

Step one: Make sure your bikes color matching is on point, otherwise you may end up hitting some bad lines

[@theandycam6]

Thanks so much for this video....I had an OTB on a table top I build back in 2015. Besides doing some improvements on the jump itself and had others test it for me, I'm still scared to clear it. I wel take what I've learend here and apply it when I go again. Will give feedback on how it went👍

[@westensanchez9483]

This was a surprisingly helpful video. Well done.

[@wchangose]

Great vid, thanks for posting.

[@annekebeerten]

Thanks for watching!

[@bp7727]

Love that spot. Remember bumping into you there at bikefest as you were wrapping up a class. Next time I'm there I'll be in it. I'll have to check out your prior videos in case you covered it, but cornering in places like a chunky or loose downhill section is something I'd like to see and even work on with you. Also techy terrain like dragon scales. I tend to go slow when I know speed can be your friend over sections like that.

[@annekebeerten]

Thank you for the feedback! Dragon scales is a good one!

[@michaelreynolds6543]

Gotta keep those hips over the BB, Im learning to jump atm and its hard (im 64) and my coach is the best in the UK this video is the closest ive seen to what he teaches . . . Feet flat on the pedals, crouch down on the bike, arms splayed, 18 inches from the lip use your legs to thrust upwards, stand tall through the arc and then absorb the landing Ive cleard a jump 3 times on the lesson but then when i went out to a bike park it all just fell apart . . . . . gotta remember to do all the above nice video thanks for sharing

[@mtbjunarell1545]

Do attack position and PUSH or preload with your legs on the leap of the jump, relax your arm and legs once your on the air.. PRACTICE the timing on pushing with your legs in your comfortable speed. Keep doing it again...... you cant perfect this jump in one day it will take time if you're a beginner. Keep doing this method and youll be fine

[@reneewalters3531]

Your videos are very engaging and you are inspiring! I’d love to see some instruction on riding switchbacks downhill. I always crash on them at least once per ride and am not comfortable with them whatsoever!! We come to Bentonville yearly, (for 10-14 days), Lord willing! I’d love to meet you!

[@annekebeerten]

Thank you for the feedback! Hopefully I will see you out on the trails here in Bentonville one day!

[@rwent1]

Getting bucked is exactly what my problem is. Thanks!

[@annekebeerten]

You are welcome! I hope this helps.

[@dennisl8602]

Exactly what Christina says is spot on. Us non jumpers are like afraid to hit the jump right so we actually do take flight. Also as far as the butt scooting back is almost a natural instinct to keep from going over the bars, but I believe that one intuitive motion is what is the cause of the bucking off causing the otb reaction. One question though? Do you think it is possible to jump without a dropper post and the post at regular cross country riding height? Also, I think it's super helpful the way you put those red and green cones to show where to preload and stand up. Oh yea and that video clip of the little kid crashing is brutal ouch. Christina crushed woohoo!!! thank you for making the video.

[@ephraimki7783]

nice. well done

[@wouterdijkstra2567]

I think the problem lies in her speed. She fends of the actual jump, and rightfully so because she would totally over jump the table if she actually popped and stood up actively. I guess if she slowed down a bit, but still fast enough to be able to pop, she would start to notice how a controlled flight feels and works. Than gradually build up speed and grow into confidence with your jumping. The breakdown of the technique is taught in good way, though😊👍

[@patb6281]

Hello Anneke, love you video! What size is your stump jumper? Thanks!

[@annekebeerten]

Riding a S2 / Medium

[@atsukoknight]

That is an awesome video. Thank you for making it. How fast are you going? Do you need to have lots of speed before coming onto the jump?

[@tomassanesson902]

Awesome

[@uldi1s]

Better, but the main problem is that her arms are too... soft. You can see at take off her arms get jerked because the handlebars pull them forward. This is the main factor that is contributing to her getting bucked. Her arms should be firm. And I venture a guess: she's not strong enough. Anybody riding a MTB should be able to make push ups and pull ups. Maybe include that until she gets strong enough?

[@eranlevy4082]

Breaking it to simple, easy to understand steps - I like it. btw it feels so wrong that she crashed, and people were afraid to help her so that they won't catch covid.

[@annekebeerten]

Crazy right! Thanks for the feedback!

[@Zyzzyx42]

Does this work the same for small ramps from a rock or root on the trail with no landing ramp? Recently upgraded my 25yo SC Heckler to a Scott Spark, and it is SO much more capable downhill, and actually feels good on _small_ jumps so far. But often I'm landing on the front wheel; not far enough to be near going OTB, but it never feels good.

[@crankerson]

the cones are a great idea

[@annekebeerten]

Thank you!

[@snat6299]

Good video

[@MrMIBIHA]

@annekebeerten, well I'm not a pro but it seems your timing is a bit wrong: you preload a bit early. 3:49 You're standing already, but the rear wheel's just passed the first green cone. Therefore the front wheel falls down 3:51 instead of drawing the continuation of the kicker's curve. When you're fully extended the rear wheel unweighting's done, but you want to push the ground till the very end of a kicker. Otherwise the rebound starts rotating you while you're on the ground (if you're airborne you don't care). Sure you clear the feature, but you could use less speed with the proper technique. However I might be wrong :) P.S. the covid-times story drives me crazy. people really were like that in your region? that's insane

[@toddsmith6742]

@MrMIBIHA Your comments are on point. Vid does not show example of successful progression...only how to use speed to clear a jump. Anneka's instructions are exactly what rider needs...she just didn't follow them. Rider is at the edge of going OTB. Hitting the jump w/ bent arms (and butt back) is what will send you OTB. What was presented as good end result is actually a great example of wrong technique. Rider needs to be tall and have arms extended (but not locked out) as front wheel is exiting jump. If arms/elbows are bend (like in vid) then the weight of the front wheel & fork (and gravity) will pull the arms out straight and down causing early rotation of the bike and rider...likely causing OTB. Having arms mostly straight at exit and feet pushing thru the pedals will allow the front wheel to follow the arc of the jump and continue up instead of immediately dropping down and away from rider.
