More than half of a year has passed and where is the next session?I'm looking forward to it!😀

[@fizgigtiznalkie]

Great series, maybe add a part 11 on climbing?

[@master-gm4mm]

What a gold series! Best in YT

[@coopkink]

Someone is KILLING IT on the video editing for this series. That, in conjunction with Ben's way of describing what he's thinking, is so easy to follow

[@dash0173]

this is awesome. as a pretty capable rider, I enjoy teaching my friends how to ride "better" but it's always really hard because I don't know exactly what's happening when things like getting bucked or dead sailoring occurs. having the physics behind each move really helps me understand why it all happens

[@72SeaHag]

I've been jumping since I was a kid racing BMX in the 80's. Yet I've still watched a lot of jumping tutorials to try and refine my technique and prevent crashes. This is the BEST jumping tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing your gifts Ben Cathro! This whole series has been awesome!

[@giannibravo9092]

💯

[@giannibravo9092]

Popping riding the back wheel- lean back made so much sense I’ve been riding dirt jumps and pump tracks indoors in Toronto and figuring out how to get lift instead of absorbing is hard and following some other KZbin’s vid that say stand up and seem to tell you to pull up the bars just rotates you into a nose wheelie on a transition which is cool but not good when not confident! Ben explains the physics and what is going on with the bike and your body input! Thanks Ben! He explains things in a way someone learning can understand easily!

[@spencerimre]

I'd love to see an episode on riding technical terrain(i.e. roots, rocks, slabs)and possibly one on riding in dry, loose conditions. This series has been a blast from start to finish. Great work, guys.

[@jackshuttleworth6570]

I would very much hope that there is a season 2 because this is the best thing on KZbin

[@anthonybclimbin]

Seriously have watched this video so many times. Here are my notes: - Go straight, pedals level, no turning on approach. - Knees above toes. Bend elbows and knees on approach. If you want to pop more, dip down more on approach. - Starting with the transition, not too early, press into face with arms and legs smoothly and evenly up the transition. - Rotate back, extend arms fully back in line with your fork. Head behind stem. Unweight the front wheel at the end of the lip. Allow your body to rotate backwards with the takeoff, do NOT lean forward. Drive legs into the remainder of the lip, making sure that your center mass is above rear tire and not too far forward. - For flat jumps, you may have to initiate a bunny hop **pull harder** with your arms to get your body in the correct position. For steep face jumps, this will feel more forward. You basically want your weight vertically above your rear tire when you pop. - Pop/straighten legs while pulling back on the bars **key**. Press the back wheel all the way up the lip, keeping heels down. - If you nose dive, you did not shift your weight far enough back prior to popping. - Relax. Let the bike level up beneath you.

[@meneerbas]

I already feel an emptyness....Season 2 should be with even more Ben! :)

[@WussyCatMTB]

Finally! 😊 Drops = Jumps👍👍👍and from the mouth of Ben Cathro, no less! I drove two coaches mad with my assertion that it's jumping, and I don't like it! 😂 Brilliant, thorough walk through of the various techniques - maybe I'll be ready to try an actual hump-jump soon 😎

[@josechavez2148]

I’ve reached the point where I’m good with trail riding, handling, drops etc. all these videos on bunny hopping(esp season 2 ep) and jumping and you showing the slow mow has really helped me. Recording myself I realized that what I feel and what I’m doing is two differen things 😂

This should be mandatory series to watch for everyone. Like weekly. :D

[@greenfefo_fpv465]

Ben is BY FAR the best bike instructor i have ever seen, so casual yet precise and technical. I love it!

[@bullit4x]

BEST HOW TO VIDEO/TUTORIAL EVER!!!!! SERIOUSLY, plenty of slow mo, explained well. I’ve been riding a long time. I’ve watched literally every video out there. I’ve got no problem clearing jumps (I raced dh so it’s always been speed , speed , speed ). Now I want to get some pop and style. After watching this a few times and practicing for a couple of hrs really focusing on bits of this at a time. Then the next bit. Then putting it all together I was clearing larger tables. Where before I was having to pin it. Now I go “trail speed” and it’s so much easier and feels better. After a few days it became natural and I wasn’t thinking about it. CHEERS MR CATHRO. Not only did you help a regular guy out. But I’m getting laid ALOT more.

[@paulprough6311]

I'm old, want to jump more effectively, with consistency and live to tell about it! This series is awesome! Great depiction of the mechanics of it all!! Thanks

[@sabinemackenzie712]

Brilliant series! Definitely learned a lot! Now to find some time to actually practice it all … Highly recommended your series to some other beginner friends who also found your videos super useful, informative and well presented! And funny most of all :) Looking forward to season 2! If you are ever planning on giving lessons at Nevis Range again I’ll be the first to sign up ;)

[@jacoblowdermilk6520]

i’ve watched this video a ton of times and finally got it so i went out at my local trails and i’m clearing and hitting jumps i couldn’t before perfectly, thanks.

[@bulaiente]

Thks is the most in depth 'How to Jump' video out there. Even I know how to jump decently well, I do not realise my techniques or mistakes and why this or that happened in the air till now. I definitely will be more aware of my body position now and will try all variations mentioned. Ben you're a legend 😍

[@katsaras1]

Maybe my favourite MTB series on KZbin! I loved every minute and hope to see more Ben Cathro on the channel

[@hoff482]

Ben, great vid, and great series. I found this after my shoulder surgery. I can't wait to get on my bike and put these vids to use. You do an excellent job breaking down the skills. I love to ride but can't wait to go faster and smoother.

[@julianhein9553]

yeah i've watched a ton of "how to jump" vids and eventually I figured out how to jump. This video, Hands down is the best i've ever seen, thank you!!! this is awesome, I wish this had been out there when I was getting started on jumps.

[@dirtsurfernz]

Best series around. Now I just need to work out how to plug this into my noggin Neo styles so it stays in there when approaching jump/berm/turn/drop/feature/etc 😜

[@niklasschmid9123]

Big props to Ben, the Team and Pinkbike for discribing perfeclty in this series what its all about

[@Dieterbe]

Somehow Ben always explains it way better than any other coach I've taken lessons , or watched videos from. I love the "physics first" style of teaching. Thanks a lot Ben and PB !

[@Limestream73]

Thanks Ben, Max and Glen for an awesome series on how to bike. Learned a lot. Now we wait for the full length bloopers reel. :)

[@massimilianomolinari7846]

The Top Master of jumping technics. My respect !!!

[@ethanvaill]

Nailed it! Thanks for the great vids! Back at it after a 20 year hiatus and never learned how to jump properly. This is extremely helpful!

[@WesMacaulay]

The section at 11:40 about centering your mass over the rear wheel is something I’ve never heard before and explains well how to prevent that forward rotation. Bravo lads!

[@jonathanvasquez9604]

Sir Ben is always good at his presentations/explanations.

[@yannicbrose]

Thumb up before actually watched it... This whole series is awesome. Thanks 👍

[@hughsemple7000]

Best video ever! A Ben Cathro how to jump vid at the local 🥳🥳

[@2dcutout]

A thank you (once again) from all the coaches out there for making our lives easier! I'll always point clients in the direction of your video's so they can understand WHY I make them do the things I do, and so they can understand HOW things are meant to happen.

[@FhargaZ]

After years of watching different videos,tvis series is really the best. Like "forget about all that" and explores every option and outcome. 👏

[@132Marty]

Cathro at Cathkin. Love it.

[@fattoamanowoodwork3638]

This is brilliant. Definitely and by far the best videos (and mini series) I have personally come across.What I love the most is how simple you managed to make this topic and yet maintaining all the most important aspects. Real kudos to you good man. Thank you

[@talentedfluke8038]

Explaining the physics, the forces and the intention of the technique makes it very clear. Now I just need to find talent at my age! Best video on jumping ever IMO.

[@jbrook6893]

watched the full series, a few things throughout havent clicked untill the way you explained it in this video. Thanks :)

[@abc-lr3wv]

Absolutely the best "how to jump" video on yt, and I've watched 100 of them.

[@emoguy11]

This series has been just awesome, what a guy and the way you explain everything! Love the humour too, jumping’s my weakness so definitely going to keep practicing!! Thanks Cathro 🙌

[@3du4rdm.51]

Thank you ben. I've learned alot with your videos specially on how to bike videos. Hoping for season 2.

[@jd4000]

This whole series has been amazing, really excited for the second. @Ben, what would be really helpful is to have epesode where you help an individual (or two) with the same techniques from this series, so we can see this on a volunteer.😁 Also I'm happy to volunteer for jump and corners training on video. 🤞🙏. This video had several subtle but VERY useful hints about how it feels, sometimes it's tough to get it right without seeing your self riding, so knowing the description of how it feels is super helpful to carry to the trail.

[@radekkulha2465]

By miles this is the best how to MTB series ever. Big thumbs up!! Well done Ben!

[@Cinnabuns2009]

This is the absolute best information to consume if you're new to jumping and thank you, Ben, for putting it out there in to the ether. Well presented, well illustrated and shot. Minty fresh!

[@paulmoore4212]

Best tip videos, Best trainer, sick editing, sick filming. Learnt loads from these

[@adamgroves2811]

I've loved the series! Well done guys, I can't wait for season 2.

[@thomasarnold4182]

Well done. Thanks so much for the whole series. Lots of stuff packed in there. I will keep re-watching until the Second Season comes out. Ben's is Awesome. Thanks also to Max and Glen.

[@BBQSKI]

This is the best mountain bike series I have ever seen - thanks so much!

[@alfredmadere9030]

Can't say enough good things about this series

[@Bloomerist85]

best series ever, season 2 please!

[@Kev2Bee]

Yeah! It's Ben again. Refreshing guidance.

[@andrewwhite3623]

Great video clear detailed description of what happens in each phase. Love your fun delivery for all of series helped me no end now fall of less but when I do am going faster 😀

[@bryantpeters5547]

THANK YOU GUYS!!! Really appreciate this series, Ben and crew really did an amazing job!!!

[@MrZeko3rs]

Best , most down to earth , jumping video on KZbin!

[@roamingwolfpack]

Loved this whole series! Learned the race jump style in this is how I tend to jump!

[@nord270]

Ben is on fire as a host - please find more to make mtb technic video about!!

[@okayatbikes1909]

Love the humor! Maybe I’ll go back and watch the rest of the videos in the series 😆

[@pierfrancescomacchivideoma7953]

ok just finished watching this first series.. well done boys!!

[@da12641]

One of the best "easy to understand" how to jump video.

[@OutsideSometimes]

these videos came out right as I was getting back into riding, and I've gone from timid beginner to feeling confident enough to tackle most trails in a year. I'm still learning and improving but this series was super helpful. I'm riding stuff I never thought I'd ride :D

[@dude_0458]

We need more of this! So good and so funny! I can't wait for the season 2. Love you Ben! Your happiness is contagious. I keep rewatching the season 1 and still laugh every time. Good job to everyone and keep at it. So enjoyable and funny to watch.

[@cracingauto]

I just love this how to bike series, Ben , you are telling the truth that others won't tell !

[@Manix1999]

Best jump video on KZbin, thanks!

[@ebenf6768]

Wow, the best instructional video on mtb jumping technique that I have seen! Thank you Ben Cathro and team! Please keep it up.

[@chrisanderson8578]

This content is really quite brilliant. The editing and delivery of every lesson is absolutely top drawer. A real credit to everyone involved. Well done Pb and Ben.

[@LotharMatthiasFilms]

production value through the roof!

[@unitedtrailbuilders2320]

Mate your vids are the best for teaching kids and racers always plenty of good info

[@engineeringdjr]

Nobody has previously addressed the light feet with actual guidance. Thanks!

[@Hobbiemtbrider]

This dude doing fails to explains all of as it’s a total legend absolutely superb presenter great explanation and thanks for sharing the danger and tell as the proper way it’s just nailed

[@ukaszlewandowski639]

best jump video ever, HANDS DOWN!

[@alessandrocecere5738]

very beatiful series !

[@erod6468]

Shattered my right collarbone a few months ago after a really high speed jump. Will conquer that jump eventually. Barely getting back into gnarlier mtb again, little bit at a time and going to be practicing jumps a lot more. This definitely helps. Here's to some good luck and progress. 🤙🏽

[@shredthetrack6858]

give this man a Price!

[@dustfarter8137]

Best series out there! Stoked there is a series two coming.

[@scottcowart2920]

Fantastic video; probably the most complete explanation on how to do this. Great job!

[@customerisalwaysrigh]

Air time is definitely my least favorite type of time...rubber side down. Thanks Ben, thanks pinkbike, I'll try take some of these tips with me next time I'm forced to leave the ground.

[@kevinmthornton1]

Extremely well done. Jumping is so hard to learn and this had some great explanations for those complicated and tiny tricks on how to do it safely and properly.

[@hprida]

Best video ever!! Thanks and congrats!!

[@mirandakreb1709]

Ok. I feel bad for all the crashes to show what bad jumps look like but I seriously just learned so much by seeing what not to do. I do the deceased mariner and fake floater apparently. lol. Thank you!!

[@JMTBFLOW]

Outstanding series. Thanks.

[@parahandy6096]

Thanks Ben, another great how to. Love that you did it at The Braes because that where I’m trying to learn how to jump!

[@NDemanuele1]

To learn properly there has to be a progression. This year I turned 50 and been riding for over a decade. I never been into jumping but do small jumps and drops ( sidewalk height). Sometimes I'll do something more challenging if I feel comfortable. The trails are challenging enough!...LOL.

[@edgarcastillo7005]

This guy corrected my sore arms on drops, i love this guy

[@jinavl]

I believe learning to pump properly is key ..once you can pump good all you're doing is popping a pump to jump..its how I learned and taught some of my friends..

[@Motoch3]

Great Technical information presented in an entertaining way!

[@martinforbes3371]

just a word about you and the trend ! as usual very nice video and explanations the subject is on target great, thanks for what you're doing !

[@xclent1975]

Ben such a great guy ! Thank you Ben

[@mtnbikerva1]

Ronnie Mac is awesome funny and talented! Not always for the kiddos, sometimes for mature audience’s only. Love Supercross and Motocross.

[@ninovignes_]

Thanks sooo much for these videos, they are amazing, never seen any better "how to's"!!!!!!!

[@therealnybbles]

Thank you for the incredible description! Could you give me some tips on what to adjust for kicker jumps (the ones that have almost vertical lips) to avoid getting launched over the bars? Just rotate back even more aggressively?

[@djandthedjs]

great job on this series, thanks!!!

[@gonzaloalvarez2950]

Nice, I haD the best video on how to turn and now on how to jump. Elegant and clear explanation.

[@jasoncass8771]

Wow, excellent video. This is the best jumping video that I've seen. Extremely well done.

[@leatherneckadventures9296]

These vids has been so informative and help my progression.

[@DiZCore]

Thank you, Ben!

[@em8452]

I think you did a great job putting it to words. Thank you.

[@casper18795]

The like was for Cathro. Cathro teaches Ascending was good too.

[@BIIIKES]

AMAZING series!!

[@merijn639]

Its finally here

[@robbieroscoe3078]

Yaaaaaas Cathkin trails!!!!!!!

[@oneyetube]

[@Danni696]

[@WesJacobs_littlerider]

Crazy season!!! Thanks to make it so good and funny!
