Most people cant do jhop because they cant do manual. I think best is to train manual because it will allow much better control of the bike. Going straight for jhops will be scary and uncomfortable without learning manual. When i learned manual, j hop felt easy on itself, because i wasnt anymore scared of the bike.

I finally realized it's my chest being low as I try to preload my front suspension that's keeping me from getting back so I can actually get the back wheel off. Epic explainer! I appreciate it ❤

I’d say my problem is exactly the same! Definitely the pump track has me on the wrong track.

Key takeaway which i hadn’t realised - step 2 isn’t about getting the back wheel up in the air. That’s step 3.

Hi Dusty, been off the bike post surgery this summer and have been avidly watching your videos to be a better biker when I get back on. The one thing I find unclear/confusing is the pickup/scooping part (approx 18:10), it is always mentioned in your videos but very quickly like it should be intuitive but for me it's not (long time SPD rider with bad habits...). Would love to get more detailed info, maybe even a dedicated video with drills (title: 'free yourself from SPDs' maybe...). Love your work!

Great breakdown! It seems so clear, yet I have the biggest problem moving out of the lift to the explode step. I feeling like I am always one step behind and the front wheel is already starting to drop as I attempt to pull back. I end up missing step 2 and going right to 3, which may get the back wheel up a tiny bit.😒

@@sdtrailrider8070 hey man I’ve seen this before. 2 suggestions. First, if you have a manual trainer. Jump in that and just get used to the motions almost like you’re going to jump out of the manual trainer. If you don’t have a manual trainer, focus on step one and almost try to learn to manual where you can do an initial wheel lift roll for 6 inches and then explode.
@sdtrailrider80702 ай бұрын
@@Theshredacademy Thank you. I don't have a manual trainer unfortunately. I'll try what you suggested. Do you have any tips for an ebike? They are even more challenging to really get the front up!

@@sdtrailrider8070 oh man there’s reason I did that video on my acoustic Bike, the ebike it’s just such a hassle so much weight in the front. If that’s what you have, I would work with the bump jump because that’s gonna teach you the timing even more so, and the bump of the front wheel may help you with the initial wheel lift.

How do you preload a hardtail?
@Theshredacademy2 ай бұрын
It’s all the same preloading a hard tail you go through the same motions. Your knees are still propelling you upward aided by your arms pulling you forward.

Are you using your legs to explode your butt back for the J or is that to much momentum
@Theshredacademy2 ай бұрын
@@gordonlaurie1201 that would be too much momentum. The backwards motion is literally just a motion no force necessary. Just make sure your shoulders don’t fall in. You’re going to feel a tension there any need strong shoulders till allow the front wheel to lift.
