Wow, Jen’s progress is impressive, not great having those off’s but on the positive, they’re necessary slow speed off’s that will build her skills, ability and ultimately her confidence. Looks like she bounces back really well, inspiring stuff 👌. Hope she’s ok. Cool video bud🤜🤛.

Totally agree. She learned more from these two crashes than she'd have learned not crashing at all. It like errors put into practice.

Hi dude :) How long ago / how many times have you done the Payrise drop? What was it like first time, and how did you overcome any fear of it?

[@Altitudeproblems]

It looks a lot more scary than it is. No doubt, it's a big drop and high consequence for getting it wrong. I had been working up to larger drops for a while. I got super comfortable with hub height and then increased height and angles, different landings, etc, until it became natural and repeatable. The first time I hit this drop was summer in 24, i was very nervous, but actually, it was fine. I did a few run-ins on it and bottled out a couple of times, and on the 3rd time, I just did it after Andy towed me in. It's helpful to have that if you can.
