I’m 52 in a few months time, I’m an ex late 70’s / 80’s Bmx rider and love big jumps, it’s hard to explain and instruct someone how to jump after so many years doing it naturally, I discovered this channel and immediately subscribed, the instructions that Rich explains are pure gold, I love each instructional video and look forwards to each new theme - well done Rich !! 👍🏻

Another great one! Awesome job Chip, Rich and the dudes working behind the cameras to get these shots and put out these edits. This got me hyped to take my hardtail out tomorrow on the trails here in KC.

I've got to thank you Rich, discovered your channel about four weeks ago, purchased a hardtail for my girlfriend last summer after riding around in Whistler for a day. She loved biking and had never done it before, I know starting to ride at the age of 40 is random but she really does enjoy it. You break everything down so well that's over the last three weeks she has really progressed, so much in fact that she just goes out and hits trails all by herself now! Thanks for your videos and keep er up my man! Greatly appreciated! Only problem is I feel a new bike for her if she keeps riding like she is! :)

That's awesome Osvaldo! Have fun my man, it's a killer place.

Compressing the forks through your legs is often overlooked and works surprisingly better then through your arms. I've been critical of some of your videos but you nailed the basics on this one. Next up the pop and steeze.

I think this video covers the jump process a little better than the jump series. You really stress the ramp pumping plus opening up the hips to create that pop. This last tip is going to unlock air time for me. Can’t wait to go try it out. Thanks for another great video.

Pumping never clicked for me before trying it on my hardtail, on my full suspension I couldn't feel what the bike was doing and therefor did not know what I needed to do. Maybe I need to go back a bit on my hardtail and try some of the jump tips from this video 😁👍

So glad!

I have really enjoyed your videos. I have ridden for years and I am pretty comfortable on most jumps with shallow to medium lips. I watched the steep lip video and would say that looks like my limit. Any steeper and especially when more abrupt like a dirt jump park, and I seem to fall apart. I definitely suffer from some of the 7 bad habits sometimes. I feel like the more I try to pop, the more I just go up and not forward. I can go in with 25% more speed than “teenagers” and they clear it perfect and I straddle the back of the landing. This type of steep jump is usually built as a double so hard to find safe ones to practice on. I guess I need to be convinced to drive my heels through the bottom bracket and keep weight over the BB on such steep lips like approaching 60 degrees. I have talked to guys doing it and they feel like they pop vertically, not against the angle of the take off. I would love to see this covered in an in depth video and even more side shots in slow motion, pausing to explain the movement of the head and hips, and forces on the feet and hands. I also have a son who can hit steeper stuff than me and I really want him to learn how to properly transition to expert and pro lines, because he is going there, hopefully with some good techniques. I think you are the one to do it.

Hey rich I’d like to see a video of someone say like chip who is comfortable on table tops(like myself) but doesn’t really have the confidence to hit doubles of the same size and how to get over that fear. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

I've found 2 things, 1. Find a table you haven't done before and hit it first time like it's a gap jump, don't give yourself the opportunity to just half- commit and land on top, try to clear it the first time you jump it 2. Choose a point of commitment on the trail and when you reach that point commit to the feature, then you can focus on the task ahead and won't be worrying about if you're gonna do the gap or not

I live in Bentonville and didn't realize he was local! About to buy my first bike, so trying to learn all I can!

I was out today and I felt a lot more comfortable on the jumps today. I have been watching the videos that Rich has been putting up the last month or so. If I was closer I would come to one of your jump clinics to learn even more. Thanks!

I have a hard tail , this is a great video

14.28 This is my issue. I tend to be forward and as soon as my front wheel comes off the lip it starts to go forward. I learned this racing BMX so I could go far and low (fasted way to jump) but now I am trying to go higher and I struggle to overcome this old habit! I am definitely getting better and on mellow jumps like this I have in nailed. It's the steeper lips where I struggle the most.

He's a rad dude!

just invested in my first full sus still keeping the hardtail

8:00 He retreats to the back seat to counteract the forward rotation imparted by being too forward on takeoff. Drive the heels even harder, pushing the bike slightly forward before takeoff which will result in a push that is exactly in line with the acceleration of gravity PLUS the ramp. Staying vertically over the BB means the push from the ramp -- perpendicular to the slope at the lip -- will be BEHIND the center of mass (pretty close to hips). Any force not directed through the center of mass causes rotation.

Hey Rich do you ever make it out to Canada? I live in Toronto!

Rich, loving your videos but have an observationL The low athletic position to opening up or standing up is a very similar movement to a deadlift. Would you agree? and would working on deadlifts for explosiveness help with generating lift or boost?

Timely video. Just got a new hard tail with some crazy geometry. Love the bike, but sometimes it feels like the back end is heavy and my feet come off the pedals. Guessing that since the front lifts easier, I'm getting too far back on the lip when I don't really need to.

@richdrewtherideseries

4 жыл бұрын

Hey there! It could be a timing issue. If you are opening up too early, your feet might come off the pedals. Think about dribbling a basketball and letting it come up as high as possible while your hand stays on top of it. Let me know if that helps.

Rich, hope you see this. I'm considering getting a Full suspension after learning how to jump a hardtail fairly decently. You say its an advantage to have a rear shock? I've also heard from others that its harder to jump a full suspension compared to a hardtail. Wasn't sure what to expect if I bought a FS. Hope to see The Ride Series clinics out here in NC one day! Appreciate your videos! I've watched your how-to jump videos over 100 times until I finally was able to clear a 15-foot tabletop (I couldn't jump at all at the start). Added some front wheel steeze as well, haha

Cool what do think about the marlin 4 by trek as a starter mountain bike ?

Great vids Rich but I have a question: In my country we learn to have a good attack position on the bike for jumps which is achieved by synchronizing the body´s center of gravity (two fingers beneath the belly button) with the Bottom bracket (center of gravity of the bike). Locating your hips over the bottom bracket, as you recommend constantly in your vids, you are effectively putting your body´s center of gravity much forward than recommended. Isn´t that dangerous???.

Hey Raymond! Great to hear you're getting more confident. Getting lift is a product of getting deep into that athletic position coming into the takeoff, opening up your hips in time with the bike coming off the lip, and keeping your heels driving through until the rear wheel comes off the lip. Keep working at it, you'll get it!
