Far and away the best jump tutorial I've seen, the only thing I felt slightly lacking was replays of good technique: can't beat seeing it over a few times - some slo-mo, maybe different angles - for it to really seep into the mind. The more we can imagine the ideal position, timing etc the easier it is for our bodies to replicate that. Look forward to getting out and working on it, cheers 👍

Absolutely the best jump tutorial. From theory to practice in few time

One of the simplest and best explanations I’ve seen, cheers Deaks

I can already jump, but an amazing tutorial. Well done Ben

Really helpful vid Ben, best tutorials I’ve seen and all properly explained. Cheers.

Been looking for a good how to jump vid for ages now. There's a lot of vids out there but this by far is the best

Hey Ben just wanted to say thanks heaps , I watched this to learn the races take off and I got confident getting on an angle and started to scrub a little bit, and I realised this until my friend recorded me, I have always wanted to learn how to scrub or race takeoff and I just couldn’t do it with the other videos but this just helped so much so cheers a lot mate

Finding these very helpful, been hitting a few jumps today down upton heath, keep up the awesome content 💪🏼👍🏼

Thanks once again Ben for a brief insight into how to jump. Never too old to improve technique. Now just need to find sensible jumps.....

Love this video Deaks, my two boys are inspired!

Savage vid dude... loads of detail and nicely delivered. Cheers 👌

Finally put this to practise today and finally clearing jumps on the trail over at Ptown that i normally skip round. The manual vid has also helped massively. Cheers!! 🤪

These vids are helping me loads my manual is getting better and hopefully now my ankles will get a rest from casing all the time 👍

Thanks to this video. Over the past 2 day's I've learnt to jump my EBike. Previously I was holding onto the bars like my life depended on it. Now I've relaxed and loosened my grip and learnt to push the bike rather than pull I'm clearing jumps. I'd normally nose dive off them instead of jumping. Brilliant video Ben and one of the best tutorials 👍👍👍.

Yet another gr8 how to by the deakinator👌nicely explained,keep upthe good work🤘

You’re such a legend looking forward for this one

Enjoyed this. There's a lot of how to jump vids on KZread - this is one of the best ones I reckon

Looking forward to getting out and making use of some of these techniques! Great vid deaks! 👍🔥🚲

This is a great! My dad is helping learn to jump with my kicker ramps but I’m going to try the push. Thanks 🤘🏻

Great explanation clear easy to understand and remember. Best explanation on KZread.

Loving the white porcupine tyres, use to run these back in the day. Think I'm going to get some for my newly refurbished santa cruz bullit and go totally retro 🤘

Great Job brother this helped! I cant wait to apply it!!!

Came and stayed for the great info-- thumbs upped for the recycling tip. Nice one, cheers!

Great video Ben. Very informative. Your mum did a great job with the recording.

Wow, that's a great video and tutorial on how to jump. Thank you!

Cheers for Deeks mum helping out 🍻👍. Great video mate , I can jump ,nothing like you and your mates though, you gave me lots of stuff I can use thanks mate cheers 🤘

Push and relax.. I like that simple and effective tip

Excellent that was so well explained

Great and helpful vid, watched it before going to Chicksands this morning

Awesome video deaks. Nicely explained. Thanks dude.

Good explanations Deaks, just need my DMR Sled now!!

Clear, helpful content thanks - and better to pop too early than not pop at all...

Thanks very very much indeed for your help and explanation.

yeah nice vid Ben🤘🏽

When searching for this video, my brain shortcuted, and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't find it. I searched for Dean Benkin.

Awesome Video Deaks! We should call you Skills with Ben :)

Great video. One of the best MTB jumping guides I’ve watched. Nice one Deakinator! 👍🏻

Great video, really well explained 👍

Top camera work Mrs Deaks.

Just subscribed. Nice tutorial covering the basic stuff we all can find in the woods. Request : how to go from tables and little fly offs and drops into steeper gaps ie 45 degree take offs and landings with gaps more thane a bike length. I fear casing the landing!

I so needed this video.....

Brilliant content Ben 👌🏻

Nice vid, going to use this info to improve my jumps.. But after my ribs heal, just crashed and broke two 😂 (not jumping haha). Can't wait to get back on the bike again

Dope! Thank you best ever.

Ben you should come to Bike park Wales after lockdown . Sick trails and jumps

+1 for drop offs. Particularly bigger ones that don’t have a flat landing. The one at antur stiniog is a good example 🤙

Awesome video, thank you soooo much perhaps the next time you come to New Zealand we could organise some coaching

Thank you, Appreciate the advice

Thank you, thank you. You are the first person who has explained the different jump techniques.

Great video, very instructive! So in conclusion for most of the jumps we need to watch to the recepcion of the jump at least Can you explain most of the times whats the mistake if in big jump the rear wheel tend to inclinate in the aire roo much? could be high speed rebound in the rear shock? Thanks!

Great video Ben , how about a tutorial on cornering , flat turns , banked corners , all the techniques needed .

Thanks a lot for.the tutorial my friend

Nice instructional ... Subscribed

Class video

Well explained Ben.

Really good video

Nicely done Ben- clearly said. Can you do a cornering tute too?

Yep, I definitely need to stop pulling up. Next time I'll just push into the jump then relax at the top. Hopefully this does the trick!

Nice tips and information 😁

now this... this is epic

Horribly brake checked a guy yesterday because I saw the hole in the middle of a double. He's ex pro...I felt miserable. Nice vid. Jumping is my weakest point.

Fookin awesome.

thanks Ben!

Fab job mum!

so good thanks

Brilliant! That was the most informative and easy to decifer jump tekkers vid I've seen to date, which is exactly what someone of my calibre needs. Desperately want to get out there and follow my son Jacob, cos he actually leaves the ground and is now even getting a bit "sideways" these days and making me look like a right plumb. Nice one Deaks'.... OI OI!!

As I've just watched pilgrim I have to give you a "oi oi to the skoi'.

Top bloke!!

You had me at Action Man! ;-)

Roll it Deak!!

Good stuff 👍🏻

Grew up learning to jump there. Sent that table top to flat countless times in the end!

Great video Ben. Quick question but I’m a learner with jumps and was wondering how is best to set the full suspension up before jumping? e.g. faster compression and medium rebound? Thanks

@BenDeakinMTB

4 жыл бұрын

I’m not the guy to speak to about that but get a base setting and stick to it, the only thing you would play with then for your ‘jump settings’ is just stiffness more compression or air,

Jumping is like cornering in the most basic of sense - if you look into the rut of a corner you'll dig into the ruts - if you look out of the corner you'll keep better speed and have a better turn.. Same goes for jumping - don't go off the jump and look down - you'll just go straight over bars - Go off the jump and push is definitely the best way to figure out the basics - pushing into the jump will allow you to set the base for all jumping skills - you'll slowly get more and more comfy with the control aspect and then get into the pop or carve technique where you throw your bike around - you'll need to lay a base before this as the added weight shift when moving is something you'll need to train your muscle memory on Long and short of it - BIKING IS MUSCLE MEMORY - you need to practice and condition your muscles and reflexes to react without overthinking it. The more you do it the less overthinking and the more sending you'll be doin! Send on shredders! Keep it rolling Ben!

Suspension set up first please. Yes we know but for many this is key to understanding stability and what the bike is doing and what should be considered

Yo Ben, could you do a vid on drops (roll it) I think it would really help people with high and especially low speed drops, #oioi

Perfectly timed video, I should be hitting the local jumps this weekend. Cheers Ben

Great tips dude. Cant wait to get out and try them out. Tell your mum she did a great job filming. Stay safe bud 🤘🔥

Biggest issue I see is see the front wheel drop on take off. Either resulting in low jump height or being bucked over the bars. Something that helps is the focus of being heavy on the feet and light on the hands. That is, jump through the feet but use the hands to not let the front wheel drop. Getting new jumpers to land on their rear wheel on step ups is another technique to achieve this. I also like to focus on jumping through feet just before the rear wheel takes off the lip. Another good exercise is to manual on a road towards the foot path/pavement and, just before the gutter, jump from the manual up onto the foot path/pavement. Start the manual close to gutter and slowly increase the distance from the gutter that you start the manual. It teaches you to jump through the feet and not through the arms as much.

There's a set of 3 doubles that I'm hoping this will help me get over. 🤞

Used to hit all sorts of huge jumps when I was a kid. I recently got back into riding... and now I’m sitting here watching this with a broken collarbone 😂

Legenddddddd

Hey Ben Deakin! Your Mom did an excellent job of filming you! How could you make that disparaging remark about shaky footage? Poor woman tried so hard to raise her son properly and teach him to be respectful of others and then she gets this???? You should apologize and order her favorite lunch from her favorite restaurant a few times as a start to make it up to her! Then flowers and spa day after the quarantine allows such things! Maybe you have been hanging out too often with that bad influence Olly Wilkins!!! Thanks for the excellent jumping tips! Ride ride ride!

Your bike is B.E.A-utiful

Some good points there but leaving loads of things out. Hip placement, arms bent, being perpendicular to the ground and the fact to let the bike pivot beneath you to name a few.

@BenDeakinMTB

Naaaa way to complicated, you don’t talk about that when jumping on the ground without the bike, this is the next step to the basics, it would be to easy for someone to over think about that, the reason I don’t talk about arms bent is then it encourages pulling with the arms which I don’t want! 👍

When you say push technique mate do you mean push the bike into the ground or push the bike forward as you hit the takeoff?
