Thank you. Have been (trying to) jump for years but have always relied on speed and a 2 wheel hop. Watched hours of jumping videos and even got a coach once. Still couldn't get it down. Im not exaggerating when i say that after watching this video and practicing for 15-30min, I started clearing jumps I never had before, plus im way more stable in the air. Best jumping tutorial on youtube.

Great Video. "The Gronk" at Thunder Mtn Bike Park in Charlemont, MA has 38 tabletops to practice on. My only advice from training other sports, once you're getting very tired, quit practicing. When tired your technique will get sloppy and your body will record your form and bad form will become muscle memory to be overcome next time. Enjoy the easy flowy trails when your body says you're done learning for that day.

I agree with all the techniques you mention, and I want to drive home the most important thing you said... 14:40 is where it is at. You have to see yourself completing the landing mentally. Do however many roll- ins you need, but picture yourself in the spot you need to land. If you cannot, then it might be best to tackle that one another time.

Great video. I apreciate the mention of the anti row and moment of letting go. A friend of mine who was competing in dirt jump competitions described the moment when you leave the lip of a jump like this. the bike and your body momentarily become separate masses of weight flying through the air which make a total sense when you think of moves like a superman. Its essentially its more important to know where your body is positioned in the air and move the weight of the bike under neath your to guide it to its desired landing spot. Also in my personal experience I have found it incredibly helpfull to Incorporate smalll wips and playfulness early on in the process of learning to jump as it really helps to combat the standing up and stiffening up problem. Standing up to the jump and Playfulness have been the jumping game changers for me Sorry but couldn’t think of anything to roast you with Nice pony!

If anyone rides horses, def euro saddle, there's a lot of transferable skills in a gallop with jumps clearing brooks. I ride hardtail and it brings back memories of riding horses as a kid. I BMX for 20years and I jump with my arms. No sus clearing 25 foot stair gaps; it's all speed and arms. Landing back tyre first to half the impact of the drop, cos no sus. BMX street is death by front tyre first, but possible. The switch to MTB was a real headspin. The MTB sus vibe for me is pushing the triangle of my shoulders into the dirt, centred on the front wheel contact patch. STANDING UP MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER! Even if you enter into a jump crouched,and nosedive, standing up and stretching like a diver can get your weight over the back axle enough to stop going over the bars, and stomp a landing. The skills for first drop downhill and a bucking horse are very similar imo. Thanks for you breakdowns and this focus on techniques,it's super interesting 🤘🙇🤘

Excellent video with great insights into the mechanics. I have just one little nitpick - i dont really agree with achieving the front first landing via scooping the legs - this leaves torso in the wrong (too much upward, hands straight) position - you need to lead the bike with your chest (and legs should not actively be bent, just relaxed to allow bike bend them a bit when it goes towards a body). Actually in most of the demo jumps the legs are not bent actively and chest position is fine - it is just this single drill/step thats sounds wrong. I get that it may be useful to get used to the feeling of landing front first via this bad habbit of bending legs - but it may actually do more harm than good as if you automate this, it is difficult to get rid of. Active leg bending is justifiable only just before lending in case you need to get an extra feet of flight in emergency (casing big gap or so).

Best piece of advice I've taken from this is to start slow on a table top - forget about clearing the table top and focus on the movement\control. DO NOT just speed up to clear it. Yeah sure, speeding up will probably mean you clear it but you've learnt nothing. Plus when you do get it wrong the consequences are worse. So forget about your ego, slow it down and get the movement right.

@DontWorryImAPilot
@DontWorryImAPilot 8 ай бұрын
I think that’s an accurate assessment of what’s happening… but in practice it’s not exactly that. More like: press into the jump on the takeoff, get your torso trajectory going to where you need it to go, when in the air stop pressing downward with your legs and start using the combo of your legs, torso, and momentum to land the bike properly.the bike’s momentum will want to help it come up with your body. Allowing the legs to bend allows the bike to come up. Resisting the legs bending pushes the bike away from you. If you jump as high as you can right now on your feet from a standing position, your legs will naturally bend some as you land. If you force your legs straight you might hyperextend your knee. If you force yourself into a squat position mid-air you’ll land and have a hard time resisting the falling weight. Instead, use a slight bend to help absorb any impact. The same goes for the landing impact on a bike. Too much crouch and you won’t resist the impact and collapse into your bike, no bend and you’ll have a harsher impact (luckily people have suspension and are often landing on a down-slope). Staying relatively loose in the air is important. If your torso is going to the right place but the bike is a little misaligned, loose-ish arms and legs can help you bring the bike to where it needs to be. Stiff arms and legs won’t be able to guide that bike to where it needs to go. Press into the jump, in the air let the legs bend and allow the bike into you (maybe even scoop a little as Steve Stevenson says in the video), get your torso and bike oriented to the right angle, land and get ready for that next corner IT’S SO CLOSE!!!!

Excellent tutorial! Physical philosophies (Use leggs, not arms. Stand tall just as you would on yrampoline under max load.) is much more helpful than giving us 10 body mechanics to execute in sequence in final 1.5 seconds of approach. Thanks for asking for feedback. "Hang off the handlebars" and "Scoop your feet" are not self explanatory. I ride a lot, and I watch a lot of tutorials, but I still can't figure out what you mean by either of those. Toes up (to keep weight back)? As far as I can tell, your instructions for rolling spring-ups and then the rolling, front tire raise are the same. I assume one must spring a little bit to the back for only front tire to pop up. This tutorial was excellent so I'll go to video linked at 9:45ish. Lastly, subtitles over a visually busy background are difficult at best. I couldn't figure out WHY (at 11:50) you were instructing us to "Note: don't have the exact progression...". Eventually, I noticed there was an "I" perfectly hidden over a white pole. I can hardly fault you on that. Even the biggest broadcasters in the world suck at subtitles (white, English subtitles superimposed over a guy wearing a white shirt & speaking in foreign language😡; half subtitles hidden under TV station's logo, etc.). Ok, I lied, one more. That's some good looking font, but it's hard to read. Even if it were white letters over a solid-black background, it'd still be hard to read.

Fair feedback! Hang off the handlebars- go to a railing. Any handrail. Stand up with knees slightly bent and lean back gently while holding the handrail with your arms allowed to extend. Scoop your feet- that’s as simple as jumping and kicking yourself in the butt midair. These are things some people never are taught so most folks it might not make sense.

a few things...not a hater, we all share. I use my arms...allot! You do pull back to help boost, once i learned to jump, it's all in the arms. Also, the more you can crouch down before standing the more boost you can achieve. Crouching then springing up fast at the right time and the sky is the limit. One thing allot of folks do is get hung up on the landing lip, they can't get past that (tabletops). Most of the time they are leaning back a bit due to the brain wanting the "safe mode" of landing back wheel first and sucking up the edge of the ramp with your legs. I tell them to be straight or best to lean forward a bit. The pedal scoop, we call "heels up, toes down" is more advanced and i usually tell them to twist the bars a bit before doing the scoop. You can still clear the ramp without the scoop, just add in as you progress. But the number one thing that gets folks over a ramp when they are stuck at the landing edge, lean forward just a bit.

You said, front wheel down first which makes complete sense. I've crashed too many times to remember when landing rear wheel and my body is leaning to one side. That being said, there is a gap jump from a turning left hand shark fin into another left hand elevated burm, then immediately into a right hand berm. I have such a hard time clearing it. Last time I pulled and sent it I had a hard crash. I over rotated left and corkscrewed in the air and hit the right back side of my helmet. On a side note, from that crash I'm a believer in MIPS! My question is: when jumping sloping turns is the body supposed to be at the same angle as the slope or more upright? Maybe for another episode?

Super detailed/good question I’d have to see it to really offer detailed insight of course but the principle of putting your torso on trajectory during takeoff is 3x more important because you have to both land and change direction at the same time. So it’s complicated Watch Brandon semenuk raw v1 on KZbin about halfway through he hips left and over turns it midair Then go back and watch the torso He simply puts it where it needs to go then moves the bike around himself. What you’re talking about is quite advanced stuff lol

Under 5’8” wheel size becomes a consideration. For sure. You will have more stability and raw leverage, all else equal, compared to a taller rider. That said, 95 percent of the time the MAIN restriction to reaching your skill potential has far more to do with Core strength Core mobility (trunk and hip articulation with intention) Leg and hip raw strength Total body coordination and mobility In that order. Not having these will make achieving your skills impossible. Your bike sizing and fit can make it easier or harder, but not possible or or impossible. Just my 2c That said, you can try a shorter stack height and shorter stem! Have you tried that?

Great video but this "standing up to the jump" thing isn't always the same as we can see in the jump footage from 19:59 it seems like the rider is "squashing" it a bit. There is take off lenght vs take off height vs take off curvature and when you factor all these in it's obvious that different strategies need to applied when jumping. I feel like there are three main scenarios: 1 - the fast rolling, long and smooth take off where you just hold the line and your position on the bike and you just flow through the air with a similar landing catching you easily (jumps like smooth tabletops) 2 - the fast rolling short take off where you kind of let the bike come into you like absorbing or squashing it (knees and elbows slightly bent) similat to 19:59 3 - the slower rolling shorter take off tabletops where you press into the jump and kind of lean off the bars just a you were explainig in the clip Just trying to understand the different types of jumps and jumping tehniques because I suck at doubling even tabletops. My biggest fear is getting bucked and tanding on my face as I've had a few lucky nose landings. Anyone care to elaborate or give some simple advice? Nothing bears practice tho.
@FullKarenMusic
@FullKarenMusic 8 ай бұрын
I think this advice will get you there, but I conceptualize it differently.......It makes more sense to me that you don't allow your fork to absorb the lip of the jump. If you weight down at the bottom of the transition and stand up straight as you ascend the jump, the suspension will extend as you approach the lip. This eliminates your rear wheel hooking the lip, sending you potentially over the bars. Pumptrack is the best way to learn timing on the transitions. Landing front wheel first might be equal or even more sketchy. Unless you're coming in level with the landing. I broke my collarbone landing front wheel first at the bottom of the landing. Lets just say forks aren't at their best landing front wheel first. I would have been better off on a rigid. Small jumps with good landings are fun to pop (BMX/DJ) but I'm still looking for the confidence to send gaps.

When assessing the speed to come at a jump, How do you find the balance between speed and compression strength? Im tending to find jumps can be ridden at a faster speed with less compression or almost no compression (the jump kind of sends you the right way), or slower with more bunny hop. is one of these 'better' in any way? Maybe for tricks/stunts you need more airtime, but for a race you want to minimize air time?
@mountainbikeacademy
@mountainbikeacademy 7 ай бұрын
Very very good question - In general, you're totally right. Faster speed needs less "pop". Where you want to be careful is going all speed no pop- you can get compressed. Also, going way too slow and ultra-popping hard seems to only work for BMX riders who don't care and somehow know how to defy physics :)

It would be really interesting to hear your thoughts about how a rider can handle self doubt and fear. I practice pretty darn regularly, my basics are in a good place but sometimes my head feels like a brick wall that I struggle to break through. Even after doing the jump or feature that I'm afraid of, later the doubts and fears creep back in and it feels like I'm doing it for the first time all over again. I'm constantly subconsciously holding myself back and its a really tricky aspect of my riding to overcome.

How do you get those handlebars so high on the front wheel lift without pulling with your arms at all? No matter how much you push with your legs, how is only the front wheel jumping up som much all the way to your waist without any weight shift of your body or help from your hands? Is it just the fact that you stand up taller and the shoulders drag arms and handlebars up high?

Really appreciate your approach and attention to details . The details of course have to be committed to muscle memory and feeling... if you have to think about it, then its too late. So here with the question. When you straighten up, do you push perpindicular to ground, or the ramp of the jump ? The reason i ask is because on steep ramps eg more than 45% that means you are pushing backwards..and that feels super unnatural ( ok terrifying is actually more precise in my case)

Thanks very much for the reply. Firstly 2010 , not my birth year, just some number given me by the Internet machine. I am some way older, way older . This explains why taking risks has to be balanced as well as bad technique minimised. For instance, you called it I often land tail first, especially when tired...just forget to scoop , bad technique. Regarding the angle of the jump and body position/ movement, reality difficult to define, just the steeper the slope the less need to hang back and bring the wheel up as the slope just sends you up, it does the work for you. Let's see, I will try the excersise and get the feeling. Once again thanks for your comments .

We shouldn't be yanking the bike up over jumps. I notice when I do, my ass end is out of control & flies to one side or the other. Which side the back of my bike goes depends on which pedal is back. If my left pedal is back when I yank up on the bike, then my back tire drifts to the right while it's airborne. If my right pedal is back when I yank bike up, then back tire drifts left.

Why does everyone say landing back wheel first is so dangerous? Imo it's less dangerous because you can hit your brake and come back down even if your 90deg straight up. I'm convinced you can come back down from past 90deg w the momentum.
@mountainbikeacademy
@mountainbikeacademy 8 ай бұрын
I explained my reasoning pretty thoroughly- Obv if you’re in control and aimed straight you can totally be fine landing gear first (aka back wheel first) But 100 percent the worst slams I’ve seen in person have been back tire first.
@MatttKelly
@MatttKelly 8 ай бұрын
@mountainbikeacademy Yea don't get me wrong I think this vid was awesome and very well made and explained. I think however in a situation where it's a new rider trying to learn jumps and starting gaps, landing front first is pretty dangerous. You did say only by a fraction of a second but to a new rider that means str8 nose manual all the way down the lander. When in reality it's just getting to a point you can steer the bike again. Landing parallel is the goal but for new ridets rear first allows for a much larger window to land the jump and can eliminate some of the fear that comes w matching a steep lander until you feel confident to do it better. Contrary to what you said tho, I've never seen someome crash from landing too far back, but have witnessed plenty of otb crashes on jumps, getting bucked or trying to land too nose heavy and rolling straight over the bars down the lip. I'm not encouraging back wheel landing I'm just saying for new riders it's probably safer.
@mountainbikeacademy
@mountainbikeacademy 8 ай бұрын
@@MatttKelly all fair points - and in theory you're spot on (plus I'd agree that more FREQUENTLY I see OTB than not, it's the ones that get someone concussed have been the back tire first) In practice when I teach beginners + actual coaching companies all kind of agree getting people to practice landing tires at the same time first without clearing a whole table is certainly a better progression. But yes I agree- if you could prevent beginners from nosing over that's ultimately a good outcome! Thanks for taking the time to write!

Here’s how I learned. First learn to bunny hop (American, not English pogo hop). Then slow your rebound on your rear shock, and essentially do a slower bunny hop that starts at the entrance to the jump and ends at the lip. That puts you and the bike in the right body position and you don’t have to do much beyond that. Also, watch pros, film yourself, and get over your ego. Bad form is obvious when you watch it in slow mo video.

@@mountainbikeacademy So in other words, try the same drills on my hardtail. My biggest problem with jumps is that I pull the bike up into me in the air. I don't really get kicked or anything like that but I may be overcompensating. I'm also of an age where if I'm going to jump, I want to make sure I'm doing it safely. Not looking for any big air but would be nice to not feel like I need to roll everything.
