Got my E-MTB like 4 weeks ago and i manage to get to 1000km...its like an addiction. I´ve never been on a Mountainbike Trail before, your videos help me alot to even increase my fun. Thanks alot!

You make it look all so easy

Great tips again Chris. The channel always delivers great content. 👍

[@peterward8135]

Chris has got some skills! 😜

[@rickywoods3101]

what's crazy, is when I crash, I don't fear it as much as I did before! I think this helps me progress alot faster , if your smart about it anyway!

Great video, great tips. Windhill looking prime.

[@ckmolenaar]

Top tips Chris thanks. I often hit my pedals on obstacles and ground even on straight lines. Can you make a video how to avoid this kind of things.

[@jam2junkie339]

Great video😁More like this please.

[@JoseLopez-vt8kd]

Gran explicación. Pero creo que nunca conseguiré esa habilidad.

[@tjenkens]

Great tips, but maybe more slow motion to show technique.

Got my first e-bike and first full suspension bike, struggling with the weight and sponginess. Compressed suspension and lifted the front but off the drop the rear kicked up pitching me forward. Maybe more rebound dampening on the rear shock would help?

2.23 "floated through the air and landed back wheel first"... looks like a front wheel first to me and the second slowmo is a different attempt and does land back wheel first :D Cheeky!! lol Great vids tho

Hey Chris! I have the same bike (just an 8.0). Wanting to convert mine to a 1x also like yours. What size of front chainring do you like best on this bike for general trail riding?? Thanks!

[@richardhutton2089]

Hi Chris .. if your out on the trails and you suddenly hit a drop off ..ect its not that easy to put all this into practice. Im relatively new to e biking and just lack confidence in drop offs , jumps ect ..especially when one surprises me !

[@jammydodger7816]

What bike park is this? Great video!

[@p199a]

its hard to progress when your local trails are black diamonds only

[@kevinargust3694]

Still can't jump :-(

[@Candesce]

A simpler way to think about it, from someone who's only just started really getting comfy in the air (started doing whips and clearing 5 meter gaps and table tops) and can't bunny hop to save her life, is to think about pumping really hard into the takeoff of the jump. If you've done it right, you settle your suspension and "neutralise" your bike so that you can do whatever you want in the air. This is how to get big air, and also how to not dead-sailor/get thrown over the bars. The kickier the jump, or if you think you're not going fast enough to clear it, the more aggressively you need to pump into the takeoff. Once you've mastered the takeoff, the air and landing is easy. Start on smaller jumps and work your way up.

[@kevinargust3694]

Thank you for taking time and effort to try and help. Much appreciated. At 57 might be too late to get big air. Happy with drop off's, so not dead sailoring, think it's a case of getting timing correct on the transition. As you say get it dialed on the smaller jumps before progressing. Accuracy breeds speed But speed will not breed accuracy 👍
