The BIGGEST Mistake On MTB Drops 😳

[@JimKJeffries]

The feelings of need come from fun

[@mrgoatbeard]

I started at 42 and I do not take crazy scary lines just not worth it to me, but when I am feeling good you bet your butt I am gonna bunny hop off that drop.

[@felixfam0481]

I like to do a little hop of drops just for fun, but if it's new or something serious I roll off it

[@ow-my-achilles1106]

All you need for a simple drop is to have just enough speed to get a nice landing, and push the bars forward while rider shifts weight back to the rear, no need to actually pull up or back on them. Tyr it on small ledges first, start moving up in height. Works every time.

[@PabloGonzalez-hv3td]

Riding BMX and MTB I feel like this is true especially as drops get higher. Push the bike forward and don't pull up. Aim to keep the bike as level as possible. If there's a gap to clear ride faster. You can get away with hopping on smaller drops but as they get higher pushing forward is more reliable.

[@rickywoods3101]

I dont bunny hop but i do load the suspension some and act like im going to manual. Seems to be working good but im sure there are better ways.

[@AndyBee90]

Great advice especially for new riders like me well not new rider but doing this type stuff now

[@jacobhelbling8186]

Super rider TV, you make such GOOD SHORTS! I Really hope you blow up, BIG!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@leetori1]

Just enough pop on the bars to reset the forks. Like an unweight

[@tristanchadderton6062]

I think leaning back to do drops is so risky. Normally, it's because you're going slow. if the rear wheel slows or catches anything your OTB. If you dont shift your weight back, you can loop out as your rear leaves the lip. Just unweight the bike

[@aurteekay6339]

On bmx and really mtb any bike pretty much bunny hopping off something with any type of momentum is always going to LAUNCH you not help you. When people first start to get down the movement of a bunny hop I tell them ok now try it off this angled sidewalk or curb while going fast and they do a big bunny hop everytime it works. Helps people get comfortable with the trick and more confidence however doing this on a trail is not smart and not useful in any way…

[@billydeewilliams8909]

I just do an english hop off drops. I know pushing the bike off or just getting your weight back is more efficient, etc., but hopping is more fun.

[@encoresurfacing84]

I ride an E bike. Its front heavy so i have to hop off ledges,drops etc or the front slams down out of control.

[@jeehoonjones1389]

I love nollie-steeze off of a drop, but I never bunnyhop off of a drop other than a nollie because yes it can send people ouf of control but also less speed for the next jump/feature

[@Lucas-qo5go]

If you're a beginner this might be good advice for keeping in control. But it's not a mistake. Nor is it better to do one or the other. It's all about what you think is more fun in that moment as the rider.

[@kennyrojas4014]

If the ledge isn't smooth it's a safety concern to not let your rear tire get hung up. Over the bars usually doesn't go well.

[@wolowy2808]

Bunny hop off of it just to make sure you control the bike always.. Then when in doubt or a new drop or a bit too high you can just roll off of it and it's as easy as it gets

[@ms.karihart2983]

Sense watching your channel, I’ve certainly have improved my riding skills It’s a slow process Lots a falling and pedal slap chins

[@SuperRiderTV]

So glad you're making progress! It's worth it! :)

[@AtomicTrain]

In the valley(arizona) there's not much to ride so doing bhops off of ledges is suprr fun in urban environments

[@BrianBast]

have you been to pyramid peak in north Phoenix? a lot of the stuff there is really big and for more advanced riders but there are some smaller drops and jumps

[@AtomicTrain]

@@BrianBast hmmm, I'll have to check it out!

[@plainuser48596]

I am not hopping of the drops but unweightig bike while moving backwards, which is bit similar to hop, but not quite there. The reason for it is to unweight rear wheel as well, so that if the take off is not smith I will not get bucked forward by rear wheel jumping up

[@1980All-AmericanJ.S.U.]

I'm 65, new to the sport & I'm eating up the videos. Thx!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you!

[@stevej6824]

If I’m going super slow I basically do a controlled wheelie and land on my back wheel. Like riding out the back of my pickup truck, or off a picnic table. If I’ve got any speed at all then yes I basically just ride off it like the video.

[@connor7587]

Ok but what if u need to bunny hop or pop to clear it- how do i make pop while maintaining control

[@BikingwithJP]

Manual off the end don’t bunny hop 🐰 unless you want to 😂 🤘

[@KevinLindstromMedia]

Nah but going higher is more fun. I get your point, but if you got the skill to go for it, why not?

[@frno1073]

If there’s a lip it can rotate you otb. Don’t ask me how I know:-) I like to lighten up the rear tire just before the edge.

[@MeTheMan3202]

I completely agree and I hope everyone listens as I consider myself an expert in these areas. If you would like to question my credentials for making such a claim, then I hope “former crash test dummy” works for you.

[@Thatslikefortoddles3789]

Is that a Marin rift zone

[@SuperRiderTV]

Yeah! Rift Zone 2

[@Thatslikefortoddles3789]

@@SuperRiderTV cool I'm trying to save up for either a marin rift zone, trek fuel ex or specialized stumpjumper

[@intrametaarchi1015]

with the bunny-hop you distribute the load equally on both axes.

[@CoreyGolphenee]

And can adjust the rear wheel depending on the drop.

[@BikingwithJP]

He’s showing to manual off the end so that both wheels hit at the same time. Bunny hop not required to achieve this :) have a good day.

[@intrametaarchi1015]

​@@BikingwithJPyes, but also you increase the time of flight, you lower your speed, you have more time to assess the touchdown area, you can see better because you are higher, it is a bit like pausing the game.

[@HeathenRides]

There's no mistakes let's all ride a little differently if you like bunny hopping down from stuff then continue doing it if you think it's more fun to 180 stoppie down landing in mannu 180 or manualing off stuff just do it yes it will cause to to bail from time to time that's okay you don't always need to take the safest route take the one you like and have fun

[@reddirtmoto4841]

This is very clean, meanwhile Jarvis lifts the front tire then rolls. I think he doesn't hop too, but I may be incorrect. These guys are legend.

[@Marley417]

Whats the best mountain bike for 400$ i want one that's good on off roads more then jumping

[@marcg611]

For 400, best with a used hardtail that will have a decent frame and components, and you will still need to look a little.

[@anaboveaveragedog]

I do a hop off tiny drops but anything half big is no hop

[@lilfarmer]

Me doing a 360 when the fk does a Bunny hop send you out of control what y'all doing

[@XianEricXPROD]

If you have the skill to do so then do it. That’s what’s makes it fun.

[@user-zg6do1vy5o]

I hear so many different things I don't even know what is the proper way anymore😂 Im just going to keep doing it without thinking

[@XianEricXPROD]

P.s. it’s not a mistake, it’s on purpose.

[@randydevoe4803]

29” wheels def roll over

[@mtbaddicted2892]

Idk man. Hopping of the drop makes sense in a lot of situations. Maybe not the biggest mistake. I think it’s more important to not back out last minute.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Totally fair, grabbing the brakes at the last second (or when your front wheel is in the air already) would be a much bigger mistake. I just see a lot of people thinking they need to "jump" off drops when it's unnecessary, so maybe the right way to say it is that its the most common mistake?

[@jonasnazaruk4888]

This is an opinion...left my wife because of opinions.

[@markhunt2486]

Looks much cooler though

[@Garrison64]

But if you don’t time that pull just right you’re gonna eat dirt. There are lots of videos on here that show exactly how that looks.

[@marajeautista]

what if i have xc (hard tail)

[@sxxaredd4474]

Man I wish I had those kind of drops all I have is 45 degrees of 100 feet of the most scary looking roots you’ve ever seen with trees and the drops are like 8 feet lmao it’s so scary

[@midgemaniaflyfishing]

I just like to bunny hop 😬

[@reddirtmoto4841]

Hey sir, I hope to see you in a dirt bike. That would be fun to watch.

[@Androidnoobz420]

Yup that's how I broke so many bike parts n frames

[@WestInPeace-rd8sg]

[@ROCKKILLSPOP]

Do I just pull up? I feel like I'm doing something wrong

[@eetuhuttunen6226]

Sppeed corrects mistakes

[@Epicproman]

I led someone into a 7 foot drop they popped hard and stalled the entire thing and somehow landed it😂😂

[@mattmatthews5414]

Having guts & style is not a mistake- wussing out and immediately getting to the ground to get the drop done & over with is a mistake. SMDH

[@tesla_stephen4651]

I broke my collarbone not doing a roll-off 🤦‍♂️
