April Tries Her Biggest Jumps Yet!

[@BABsOutside]

I have my husband watch this channel so he sees how to treat women when they are learning, with encouragement and patience. Great work April! She is so good!

[@gabrieldean9559]

He really is awesome when it comes to that!

[@AprilRideMTB]

That is a skill in itself! 😊 Thank you -April

@Uncle Grandpa Kyle wants her to enjoy MTBiking and not being forced on her. Her learning curve is steady and I can't even beat that.

[@cmrice98]

How to treat ANYONE when they are learning! I've coached kids of all ages, Special Olympics athletes, and trained men and women in technology fields.

I need to have my wife watch this so that she's knows how to respond to my encouragement.

Thank you for showing the raw part of trying to face your fears. This comforting to know I’m not the only one who gets frustrated when I don’t commit to a new feature. April is awesome! So inspiring!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you! 😊 I think we all get frustrated when we can't get a new feature, some just show it more than others maybe!

[@SAFFmv]

April should be so proud. She absolutely killed it! I wouldn’t have had the guts to even attempt half those jumps. I also just want to say, Kyle seems like a truely awesome dude. So supportive and never pushes April to do anything she’s not comfortable with. The world could use more blokes like you.

[@OnMyMemoryCard]

I love how Kyle hit the poppy one the way he thought April would, not boosting & styling it up - which looks great but doesn’t help someone learning it.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thanks Ivan! Yeah, i feel like it's important to put yourself in other people's shoes when they are learning something new. The fear almost always adds a little element of tightness the first few times and then slowly fades away and lets you hit things relaxed!

[@jveenbaas]

i absolutely agree with you on this!

Aww thank you so much Tevin!!! So glad you appreciate our dynamic 😊

Tevin, if you followed the channel, you would know that April rode and trixxed BMX for many years before Kyle probably learnt to manual. Granted Kyle is instrumental in helping take it to the next level, but its not her first rodeo.

Hope you enjoy this one! It was an emotional roller coaster for sure! April has been so happy and proud since we got this ticked off of her checklist and I can't even tell you how happy it made me to see her flying through these.

Myself included. Bravo, and thanks to you both for sharing your lives with us.

[@metalwheelz]

It's funny how different people look at things. To me, stopping on the whale tail seems way scarier than doing the whole thing. Props to April for the awesome brake control.

Many of my friends also agree that stopping seemed more scary. I was just definitely not mentally ready for this feature, but if you want a follow up to this check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGPcdo2Hl9WNmc0

[@danreed2189]

That was a perfect demonstration of how to teach. Patience and understanding. April wasn't confident for the Whale's Tail. Therefore Kyle does not push her or show disappointment in her. You can't focus on the technical aspects of performance when fear is overriding your thoughts. Great job. Also, I love how you guys are so polite and thoughtful of each other. Two caring and genuine people. You are great examples for others to observe and I'm not talking about riding.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you so much Dan!!

[@danreed2189]

@@AprilRideMTB April, I was thinking about how to overcome your fear of the Whale's Tale. Ask yourself this, if the Whale's tail was just dirt...would you fear it? I have no experience with these things, but I am pretty sure that the Whale's tale is just an illusion. It's an elevated illusion but regardless, is it really different than a dirt jump? If you can visualize it as a dirt jump, I'm pretty sure you can convince yourself to do it (overcome the fear). The second thing to try is ask yourself, "what is the worst thing that could happen if I don't land this thing correctly? What would that look (and feel) like? If you can accept that, then that may also help you overcome your fear. FYI, I have very few challenges where I ride (middle of nowhere Alaska), but one of the is a set of very uneven stairs made of wood and gravel. There are different flights within those stairs and I have made it down 2 sets which is my limit because the next set is very sketchy. I have weighed the risks and I won't do it. What I am telling you is that I understand fear and consequences and respect whatever you decide (like Kyle). Best of luck...Dan

[@davidorzel6034]

This was the best reality tv I have seen in months! I was nervous through the whole thing! Also very inspiring to see April achieve this level of competency Maybe I can do it too

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thanks Jason! We got a new dirt jump park last year (the one in the how to jump video) and I think just practicing on the small jumps there built my confidence for these jumps. Then when we did a trip to Virgin in March I got to see the biggest jumps I have ever seen and hit the smallest one I could find. After a week of watching people send the rampage sites I came home and looked a these jumps with more confidence.

[@sagifern4444]

Like I've said April... You AMAZE ME by taking those jumps alone (shows WAY more skill than mine). AND; You not finishing the whail tail is just SMART. My setup speed would be as slow (if not maybe slower). And I KNOW I would not clear that gap. So well done. WELL DONE!

Huge respect to you for including your 1st attempts at the jumps and apprehension/frustration at the whale tale...you show the genuine experience while many others only want viewers to see when things go perfectly for them. Your MTB progression has been insane...the whale tale's only a matter of time. Kyle, you're a truly gifted coach & human being. We could all take a life-lesson from how you guys treat each other.

Nice! I am definitely no professional, but confidence plays a big role. People who take jumps and not feel confident usually end up wrecking. Its not that they don't have the skills to do it, but man, once you get in your head, its hard to get out of it. Just keep it up! You're killing it!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yeah it definitely can be scary stopping on it, but it's such a short whale tail and we watched first hand two people in a row try it and case the on part and flip over the bars off of it. Then this past week some kid broke their back on it doing the same thing. I was just scared for April to get hurt and wanted her to work up to it. Honestly I think it needs to get extended re done a little bit because it's so technical at the moment and has been claiming people left and right

That final run was epic!!! Drone footage looks so good. I don't have any problem holding off on the Whale Tail. That full run had my stomach in my mouth! So good!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!!! I’m fine going around the whale tail for now haha

How can anyone thumbs down April's progression?.... im 44 just getting back into riding and hitting the jumps, hope i'm as good as her this time next year :)

[@gingernickoli8665]

Thanks for being so real with this and showing the different attempts. Makes it so much more relatable for us learning jumps and feeling nervous.

[@AprilRideMTB]

Yeah of course! Thanks so much for watching!

This one had all the highs and lows. If you arent smiling at the 8 min mark then you are probably sleeping. And if you arent sharing in the sadness when she's standing atop the whale tail near the end then you aren't human. Calling it before you get hurt is always a great. Idea. Now I'm gonna go out and ride my bike and see if I can try conquering one of my fears as well. Keep it up.

Definitely had all of the emotions that day 😂

Wow April, you are killing it. You have tons to be proud of!

[@AprilRideMTB]

Thank you!!! 😊

Oh my word, sweaty palms watching this! April you are killing it 👏 I am working my way up to drops and jumps and seeing another female do it from the beginning is so encouraging and inspiring. You're so mellow and chill, you guys are doing such a great job and love how informative the videos are. Scottish fan 💙👏
