MTB Drops: How to take Drops at Different speeds

[@fredwong8625]

Thanks for the tips. I never thought how dangerous two wheel lift can be in a drop. Excellent explanation! Keep up the good work.

Hi there :) Leaving the comment to help with the YT algorithm and to get your channel growing. You do very good videos, I keep watching them :) One thing I would like to discuss (bring up) is one of the comments below about Drew's way of drop. You said in the comment that it's wrong technique to do it. It is not - it is one of the techniques along side the push. The push (the main topic of this video) is really helpful to help in all speeds as you demonstrated and mostly in those "oh shit" moments when a sudden drop appears and you dont have correct speed or body form. imho, for a beginner MTB rider, the push technique can be lethal, because if you time the push wrong you will get ejected forward sooo hard that there is no recovery from it. The method shown in Drew's video is much more commonly used as it's safer, prepares your body for landing and somewhat similar 'scrub' of the jump. No one should say that way of drop is wrong as it's not. It's alternative. Out of 10 drops I do, probably 7 or 8 would be 60-70% of Drew example and rest is the push or combination of both.

Thanks, bro! 🤝

I bet most people stating "Just ride off" are actually probably shifting their weight, or more, like you were but they have never filmed themselves and actually analyzed how they actually take drops.

Slow motion made clearly understand Even though at 5 mph. Thanks so much.

Love your content. I just did my first road gap after watching your vids for days before committing to do it. I tried doing a j hop but I am sissy and it was awful. My rear did hit the knuckle but my endure rig just sucked it up. My front is not diving but my rear has no pop. I feel like I do but after close examination I have zero explosion and my knees are bent. Need more practice I guess. Practiced after your J hop and its helped but what seems like you lift and 9:40 exploding a lot is so little after I look at the side. Just need to overcome the fear of pulling up the and exploding when trying to J hop.

Bro. Road Gap? Holy Smokes! Congrats 👏 👏 👏., Sincerely that's next level 💯

Gravity is real! I'm now at 210lbs with gear. For us guys that are heavy, pay attention. If your technique, speed, AND FITNESS is off, you're taking a huge risk on drops. Mother Earth will accept your sacrifice. By all means, make sure your suspension is tuned for a hard compression. Ride safe shredders 🤙

@@justsayin3600 you heard it folks!!!

[@ProgressionMTB-2024]

I always do the push. But I have a significant drop that needs the j hop. I'm just nervous to try it!

@@civilstructural once again keep watching there videos I’m not concerned.

[@Theshredacademy]

@@civilstructural better yet tag me in their videos 😜

[@civilstructural]

Lol, but this guys video is totally different than yours. Lol..kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6GbkHmBjZejr5I

@@civilstructural not concerned with other KZbin videos teaching the wrong thing

[@justsayin3600]

If Drew's explanation is better for you, go for it. The English language can be explained many different ways to make a point.

​@justsayin3600 I used the Rich Drew method and worked perfectly 👌. When I started riding I used all his methods for cornering, jumping etc etc and all worked like magic. He really taught me alot.
