standing up tall and getting any height. I took video of myself clearing 12 foot long table tops but I'm only cleaning them because of my speed. I'm not getting any real height whatsoever. I've watched video after video explaining it and I just can't get it

​@@smuffat89311I understand pop or some vertical thrust on the handlebars could be part of it . I can't really do it that well as I have been away from XC for 25 years .

My favorite way to go over the bars is to lock your shock out on the climb up the hill and then remember it's still locked out as you look down and see the ground rapidly approaching your face

Neil is such a good coach. People love Blake's videos and I get that, but Neil's clear explanations and demonstrations have always been where it's at when it comes to tutorials. 👌

Last week, I learned about the "point of commitment", approximately 1-2 bike lengths before the jump. Don't hit your brakes as that will shift your weight and affect everything.

Hold my beer, weekend challenge accepted! Really enjoyed this breakdown. I think trying to remember all the different things all at once is really hard, like trying to move the whole mountain instead of the first pebble so you get overwhelmed. I watched this and think I’m going to find a table top and drill the different bits, now I’m bossed the lil mounds after Blake’s last vid on jumping. Think fear is the bit most peeps struggle on, I bought myself a kicker from FB 6 months ago, keep getting it out, and daren’t hit it. Appreciate you guys.

Thanks Neil. Those are some really nice jumps in that park. I think what is messing me up is the only local park I have has a lot of tiny jumps that are less than a bike length and end up being more dangerous.

Another good tip is to watch out for washed out jumps, I broke a few ribs getting directed into a tree by a tiny kicker that I landed into that had a water path heading for a tree. Adrenaline kicked in and I made it a few minutes back before I realized how messed up I was then charged the entrance carrying my bike because I knew it was going to get much worse. It got much much worse, be careful everybody I love mountain biking but the danger is no joke when you get into the blue and black area although I’ve heard of people dying on a walking trail so anything is possible.

The confidence to commit, never seemed to get enough speed jumping tabletops, question - on an average tabletop jump what speed best suits a jump? Remember getting bucked on old xc bike attempting a jump - saved it but scary, thanks for video very informative 😁

Usually jumps are meant to hit at “trail speed”. And every trail is built different so that’s a hard question to answer. Make sure you preload your feet and push down as hard as you can when going up the jump.

The beauty of a tabletop jump is that, unlike a gap, there´s no consequence of coming up short. So just like in this video start slowish and gradually increase speed until you start clearing it. That makes tables the best and safest jumps to learn on.

I think the word "jump" makes people think you need to JUMP to jump, when really you need to "ride off" the jump. I think people think they need to jump, like from a static point like a bunny hop - thinking more about the pull up than the compress. This is when you really need to just compress and extend off the jump and MOSTLY do it with the pedals, positioned over the BB. Yes, you do need to set the handlebar, but you don't need to "yank it". Once the front wheel is off the lip, it should be at the angle it was designed for, but if you "do" want to go higher, you can pull it up "bar-hop" style. The biggest thing is for people to load and extend, most people end up "Scared" and scrubbing, then relying on speed to get though it. Also, you need to land front wheel first. The back wheel will follow where the front wheel lands, and if you tip steeper (if needed) you have a better chance of clearing rather than casing. I always say that speed makes up for technique, but good technique is what you should aim for.

I just put a shorter stem, and 1 spacer under my bar yesterday. This seems to help not trying jump being too stretched out, down and low. I still need time to get use to it for a full long-term pro/con but so far being a few mm back and up makes the bike feel better for me.

Hip jumps and shark fins make so much more sense to my brain than taking off on a straight jump. On strait jumps I almost always rotate to one side or the other never landing in the same plane as I took off. But on hips and fins I land precisely where I mean to. It’s weird
