[@barbbrazes869]

Loved seeing excellent pro-rider Amy!!!

[@jeffreydzialo]

The close up shots, and skills discussions help super helpful! Thanks

Thanks for watching and for these kind words, Jeffrey! I'm happy it's helpful! - Linnea

Thanks for watching! -Linnea

[@svnfall11]

just what i needed, thanks!

[@stringalongamax]

Great video. I did kinda miss the important bit about exactly what to practice.. Will need to go back over it.

[@Kyokoirl]

Great video!

[@Fluidride]

Thanks for watching, Andre! -Linnea

[@paulamato7880]

Great vids. I can’t wait till my next class!

[@Fluidride]

Thanks for watching, Paul! We're pumped to have you in class again -Linnea

[@JaredHoff]

Awesome vid! I’ve been trying to learn to whip both ways like that. Wish I had a place like Duthie closer to me. Guess I better start building lol

[@Fluidride]

Or come on a vacation here and rock some classes with us! But if you build something I'm sure all the locals will appreciate that 🤪 -Linnea

[@JaredHoff]

@@Fluidride I’ll definitely be back there someday 🤙🏻

[@paulamato7880]

There are way more instructional videos on fluid rides yearly membership site. Worth every penny.

[@Fluidride]

YESSS we're so thrilled to have you on there, and thanks for sharing this!! -Linnea

[@andysbirthday9848]

This was awesome. It would be stellar to get more Amy and Simon videos, getting to get the progression so quickly was killer and super helpful.

[@Fluidride]

We wish she lived closer!! Would love to have more Amy! -Linnea

[@mtbmike6414]

Still waiting on those race clips lol 😝

[@thisoledad1946]

That’s what I was thinking to see the first race of the year and the last to see the difference!

[@Fluidride]

Hahaha it's such a great question. We wanted to go film them in the last couple weeks but with this crazy heat wave, the trails got blown out nearly overnight! They ride ok, but not good for top race speeds. We'll still film something on Predator for ya but it won't be as pretty 🤪 -Linnea

[@mtbmike6414]

@@Fluidride yes 🙌

[@richchin5163]

Good stuff. It would be interesting to see a comparison with squashing a jump. Is that the same without the turn? Is there a scenario where is one is better than the other?

[@Fluidride]

This is simply the next step. Squashing is great up to a certain speed, then the rider runs out of space to absorb into the body. This is where the off angles come into play! -Simon

@@Fluidride Awesome. Thank you for the response!

Everyone loves their 8,000 points of hub engagement. Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Hi Luis! -Linnea

[@invisibleazn9330]

Amy is pretty dang fast and smooth.

[@Fluidride]

Yeah she makes everything look so easy! 🤣. Definitely earned that national champ title -Linnea

[@wslee2482]

I have a question that is not related to this video: when does on bend more at the hips (and hence a lower chest) when riding? Do we necessarily bend more at the hips on rougher terrain?

[@Fluidride]

When aggressively moving into technical terrain or squashing a jump at speed. This should be a natural movement and is not really necessary to do much of until you are moving very quickly into terrain. I hope this helps! -Simon

[@wslee2482]

@@Fluidride Thank you!

[@fatbikedaddy8644]

Trying to get my mind around this one... the technique actually implies turning while still on the jump lip at high speed? Do you per-turn to avoid launching off-line?

[@Fluidride]

Unless you are a VERY high level rider, this is not something you should try. It's more to show what top racers are doing. There is no pre-turn. This requires absolute precision. You can see racers employ this technique if you tune into World Cup downhill races. I hope this helps! -Simon

[@fatbikedaddy8644]

@@Fluidride thanks Simon, appreciate the feedback.

[@imageguyimageguy1316]

nice... Is there a way to show an animated version of your technique. I see sort of what your doing ..Thought an animation that you could sort of exaggerated view to show the "Scrub"

[@Fluidride]

Ah I wish we had that capability! -Linnea

[@imageguyimageguy1316]

There has Got to be an app😉 right!

[@mattgies]

I thought that scrubbing a jump meant to skid off the lip? Or is that just the extreme example?

[@Fluidride]

That would be the extreme example. It can be done on a mountain bike by really high level riders, but originally came from Moto. It's easier to scrub and skid the front wheel doing so with a throttle. -Simon

[@powskier]

Wow, what a dude. He is practicing advanced downhill technique with not one, but TWO of the very few women into downhill riding. When I go to a downhill bike park, it's like 99.5% to 0.5% dudes to women. ((I'm not counting your girl children)
