I was a BMX racer/freestyler back in the 80s, and we just sent it. There wasn’t any kind of analysis beyond what we read in BMX Action, which were just tips to pulling the stunts. Now that I’m in my 50s and seriously on my bike(s) again, I can’t tell you how valuable this is for my confidence and sense of safety, as well as lifting my skills. Thanks guys, see you on the trails.

[@garretteverett2613]

I've been working on pumping for a while now and for whatever reason I've just been sending all my weight down on the bars but not transferring that momentum to the rear wheel, except maybe by accident. Today I pivoted and it unlocked new levels of speed, flow, and the length I could maintain unbroken runs of coasting. I'm looking forward to transferring this movement to the jumps now that I've got it down.

[@garyvallance2017]

More great stuff Alex and Lee, thank you. Within the last nine months, three old dirt "fun tracks" within a thirty minute drive have been renovated to become full asphalt "modern" pumptracks. With trail access still limited due to Covid, these have been a game-changer, especially with my nine year old son. He's on an 18" wheeled BMX, I'm on either my 26" rigid 4X/DJ rig, or more recently (since watching your "How to Manual over 50" video, and buying one after a 25 years hiatus) my 20" BMX. In 2021 we've ridden these a couple of times a week, and there's no question that they're making us better, fitter, stronger riders. My son is getting faster and more confident every time (and starting to generate the acceleration between features needed to clear smaller tabletops), and I'm clearing features I would previously have found intimidating. Neither of us have had so much as a scuffed knee, and we're learning progressively. I've recently become involved in the process of having a modern pumptrack built in our town. Since you're an advocate of the multi-bike approach, have you tried mixing up BMX and 26" at a pump track? I've found it to be a hugely beneficial. I found the initial transition from 26" to BMX really scary (fun, but scary), and felt like I had to relearn everything. Getting back on the 26" though I was much more comfortable with height and speed, and more confident in managing my weight more dynamically to generate more acceleration and launch. Stay sane, Gary

[@AntaresSQ01]

Pumping definitely made me very good at getting both wheels off the ground, i spent a lot of time on pump tracks, but the problem is sometimes you do just need to send it to conquer your fear and make big table tops on dirt tracks and then gap jumps on trails which i can't manage yet

[@JoyOfBike]

Thanks. We had a lot of fun making this and adding the graphics. Here's an idea for you. I wanted a pump track out here and put together some money and started working with some of the different cities out here. Velosolutions came out and we toured several locations and met with three municipalities. We built one. Another city we visited with built another and a third is on the way in yet another town. It's worth reaching out to Alon at Velosolutions. He can give you some ideas on how to get the excitement going in Madison. Great town!

[@Gehajjs62727]

Great vid! this topic is way underrated in the how to jump or how to jump better videos.

@@JoyOfBike I have to write this off me (do you even say it like that in English?): I just rode the new pumptrack for the first time! Big smile all the way back home. I'm starting my working day now: nothing can harm me today :) So much fun! You weren't kidding. I must say it was quite intimidating, didn't expect that. I went early (like I always do) but this time also to avoid the scooter kids and the hardcore bmx guys. I made it around without pedalling on the first go, but I had to laugh how awkward that felt. Having said so, after 1 hour I could find some speed, even had to brake in the corners or I would fly out of it, and started to see the lines you can take. I love jumping (but I'm shit at it) but that is going to take some practice. I did jump, got launched actually, but I can't even speak about casing the jump. My front wheel never got close to making it. Afraid to go OTB on the lip at the landing. But anyways, this was my first go. Can't wait to go back. Hope to squeeze in another go the day after tomorrow. Keep those pumptrack vids coming, thanks Alex and Lee!

Why is Lee rowing his bars towards his chest on take-off, whereas Christian Pepper, in your other jump video, is extending his arms on take-off please?

[@lee_likes_bikes]

I'm using the technique that I use and teach. It is consistent and safe for riders of all levels. Pepper is a high level pro. He's using a technique that helps him get more boost. I do not suggest beginners learn that way. If you want to see what can go wrong, watch Pinkbike Friday Fails.

[@Dutch_Chucky]

very nice, however there are no pumptracks in my country as far as i know

[@JoyOfBike]

What country is that?

[@csjtbanks]

Thx for the great video Alex, I'm a big fan of Lee's teachings. His instructional language and technique are so very different to everyone else who emphasise the timing of the precompression and the hop. Curious to understand whether there are any differences encouraged when riding steep lips or seeking to clear jumps with less speed through greater height off the lip. Also keen to hear some comment in the future on how this technique reduces the opportunity for steep lips to throw you forward over the bars if you get your precompression and hop timing off by 1 second, 2 seconds etc

[@JoyOfBike]

When the snow clears we will do a jump 101 vid. Lee does have a very different and safer way to teach jumping. I don’t use it exactly but I’d like to capture it for people. For an advanced jump technique check the vids i did with Christian Peper. Huge ups.

there is a common misconcept here; I got trapped into it in the past, so I can understand it well, common sense is misleading in this case; when tires carry the load of a bike, a bike NEVER EVER rotates around the bottom bracket; a rotation axis can be either rear or front axle; in case of visual example it is the rear axle not BB the same model applies to front wheel lift at wheelie or manual, in spite of the "feeling" the bike rotates around BB or pegs line in case of a motor bike I lived quite a while assuming BB/pegs rotation, but I was wrong then

I just reviewed what is out there. A lot of opinions and styles. Kyle Wagoner has a very good one. But I don't like to go off with straight arms. Rich Drew does something with his chest and arms I wanted to see in Kyle's approach but he's mostly dealing with rollable drops. As the drops get bigger he gets a bit less aggressive with the arms. My approach is a bit in between theses two. Where do these videos leave question in your mind? I want to be additive.

@@JoyOfBike I think I've watched all the drop videos out there, Kyles, Rich Drew, Jeff Lenowsky, and more, and I'm still scared and only like 50% at keeping my front wheel from diving, which doesn't give me enough confidence to go bigger.

Correct. I’ll try. The row is a pull of the bars toward you but not up. The row and anti row of the pumptrack are the same motion that you do in a jump. Take a look at their pumptrack video. There is a more on this motion and you can see how it’s the same on a roller as a jump.

Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge.
