HOW TO RIDE A DIRT JUMP BIKE | XC Champ Starts From Scratch!

[@consistentbass]

I love how you made the "ollie" comparison. To me, you are jumping yourself but you're balancing your "ride" to come along with you so you can continue with your momentum by using the wheels and bearings on your "ride". It's like kung-fu on wheels.

[@ToriGirlytar]

Thanks for this video. I was considering trying this for first time.

[@x5-acousticguitarstuff.2]

I am 60 Years old... And I just bought a 2021 Mongoose Fireball SS Dirt Jumper. GO FOR IT.......

[@ToriGirlytar]

@@x5-acousticguitarstuff.2 Excellent! I’ll be 60 in December. I am trying to figure out which bike to get.

[@x5-acousticguitarstuff.2]

@@ToriGirlytar I have been Riding UNICYCLES for 40 Years.. lol. Be Mindful DIRT JUMPERS have a Very Low Seat Height. So you are always Standing on the Pedals My last bike was a GT Ruckus and I was using it for Down Hill.. 150 mm Forks, 9" Hayes Hydros and a Medium Seat Height and it was good for Manuals and Powered Wheelies and I could sit down when needed. This Mongoose SS Dirt Jumper I am buying is a Stand Up Only, with low Seat Height type of bike. Being Single Speed I am going to use it for HILLS and CARDIO Training on a nearby Mountain with some Down Hill Tracks. If I was YOU... Go to a Shop and RIDE SOME BIKES and see what is the BEST FIT for your Height. GOOD LUCK...

Tip - foot and heel positioning is what will keep your feet “stuck” to the bike watch how good riders used their feet and legs while pumping and hitting jumps

[@bikeswithb8829]

At the home trails! Markham is so fun with he jump line and pump track. Great video! Flats are fun 😂

[@DrShredder]

Totally agree! And thank you!

[@Montytobin]

so much progress!

[@georgebailey6307]

Great job. Kelly has the best laugh!

Thank you!

[@ctsingletrack]

That was a highly productive practice session.

[@DrShredder]

I agree!

Loved the vid, keep it up!

[@DrShredder]

Thank you, will do!

[@stueey]

Fantastic vid for those of MTBers interested in getting into Dirt. What bike park is this? Looks grand

[@tjchad1]

When I was a kid I could bunny hop the crap outta my bike. Now in my 50s I cannot! So weird, just came naturally as a kid. I don't even remember how I started doing it... maybe just a way to get up curbs? Maybe it was just "kid fearlessness?" what ever it was or is- it's still just pure fun riding a bike.

[@SORBETVM]

It's the same motion as going up a curb but just all at once. Lift the front wheel, lift the back wheel. I ride fixed gear now and going up curbs when i was younger definitely helped me get the foundation of what is going on. On a fixie it's really important to pedal HARD when the crank arm is in the 12 o'clock position to speed up that rear wheel to help with the hop and also get you feet into the level 'jumping' position as fast as possible. I want to build something other than 700c tho eventually so I like watching all kinds of bike tube.

What a bad ass!! Great video.

[@sauravbasu8805]

On a zero incline uneven road, which one of these would be more comfortable and more fun to ride : an mtb , a bmx cruiser type, a dirtbike of this type shown in the video All having 26 inch tires ?

[@markshark7378]

This is something I would love to learn to do, need tutoring

For sure! Thriving in XC, but also ripping jumps 🤘🏼

Thank you! x

Hook your feet, lean back, stand up, lean forward, that’s it. Why didn’t he tell her to pull the bike up against her feet?

[@freak1sees714]

See those wobbles she got a couple times on landing.. that's what happens to me.. what is causing that.. ? Is it stiffening up on the launch?

[@bennypesquire]

Markham park, sweet

[@Lucas-hk6gn]

I hit my shins while bunny hopping and almost split my shin XD

[@DrShredder]

That's part of the game; keep at it! 👊🏼

[@freak1sees714]

I saw a guy come off on a very small jump not going very crazy fast.. wouldn't even expect that he could've really hurt himself.. except he was wearing a chest mounted gopro and it broke every rib away from his sternum, punctured his lungs and severed his spinal cord. Instant paraplegic. I would not recommend wearing one.

[@theveganmamil9289]

Matt Jones phoned, he wants his bike back.

[@DrShredder]

lol he can't have it back

[@augmented2nd666]

Also, MTB flat shoes look terrible to me. Ride in Vans so the pedal pins fit into the tread pattern and lock in really good. Not sure whats going on with those goofy 510 shoes but I'd never ride a near bald sole, Vans all the way BMX specific cup is better too. I mean to each their own, but when she showed her bald "flats" shoes I was like, "She's gunna get alot of shinners from slipping pedals."

[@TonightWeGrill]

Where is this?

[@hoboonwheels]

Take this girl to a BMX track and she will fly haha.

[@miyamotosan972]

She is the perfect example why u shouldn't start mtb with clipless pedals.

[@DrShredder]

Haha sounds like you've never ridden with her; she shreds for real

[@MC50000]

Why do you have your brakes the other way around in America to the rest of the world?? Often wondered why?

[@DrShredder]

The rest of the world has got it wrong 😂

[@ironlion8167]

Next time on the jumps she should go a bit slower, she looked like she would land flat over time.

[@DrShredder]

I think you’re exactly right

[@KellyJonesMTB]

Yes!! working on slower at the moment .. you are 100% correct!

[@schehriyarmemmedov5440]

Is this bike 26 or 29?

[@DrShredder]

Dirt jumpers are usually 26"
