I attended this jump series in Phoenix and highly recommend it. This one clinic alone made a HUGE impact on my jumping ability. The instruction and hands-on approach with instant critiques at the time of the jump and video playbacks makes this jump series the best out there!

Rich, thanks for another great jump sessions and introducing the mtb hopper. 👍👍🚵🏻‍♂️

Great video Rich! Thanks for the tips last week.

The airplane sound effects, I need those in my life... oh and to take a jump skills clinic.

Best jumping vid I’ve seen. Thanks. Also awesome display of difference between the MTB Hoppers. I’m looking at getting one so I can practice my jumps (there are not a lot of places around where I can practice other than a couple skate parks) and this solidified my decision to get the coach.

Thank you. I've been searching for a steep lip video and yours are great. Rode fire line most of the day and could've used this technique. I'm confident I can apply this tomorrow.

Wife and I have the coach bundle. Well built, and amazingly versatile for different progressions.

I like the video, thanks Rich. Such easy steps to learn on how to jump

Once again..GREAT video Rich!! We've been researching the mtbhoppers also.. You just sold me on it🤙🏾

Another bag of tricks to take to the dirt bank! Thanks for sharing Rich 🤘

Great way of explanation, patient and repetitive. This works well even by 60 years old farts like me. At the beginning flying like a crappy diaper, after following the rules I making progress, sloooowwwwly but steady. 5 stars for this awesome American teacher.

Rich Thanks by shearing all the tips how to progress with the jumps. You are the best man. Since i start leasing you. My progress is being better I feel confident jumping little by little bigger gaps Thanks for teaching how to attract a drop and how to jump any gaps

I bought the hopper pro back in May after seeing one of your earlier jump videos. I also got some landwave ramps to try and recreate your teaching tools. Both products are very well built and work great together. Now I need a van to make hauling everything around easier. The hopper pro is a really neat design. The MTB Hopper products aren’t cheap, but they are worth the price. I just need some guidance from Rich. Keep up the great work.

Great info 👍

awesome

indeed, a very educative video, and I want to buy a hopper. My question is : what do you do with the hands on the take off. I did some training with a coach and he shoved me that the hands need to be extended on the take off. As a result you won't go OTB. I also noticed that in some of your jumps in the video the hands were straight on the lip of the ramp.

Great stuff dude Lovin the new sound effects😂

I have the Pro. What I NEED is one of those awesome landings that you have. They seem to be adjustable as well. Any idea where I can get those?

I have the coach bundle and love it. I do a full breakdown on my channel of all the options it can do.

Just purchased a couple of mtb hoppers to practice 🙏 but can you please tell me where to buy those landings?? Sometimes is hard to find some hills here in Florida lol. Thank you brother big fan here!!!!

Hi Rich I like the hoppers there a good Idea. I've been trying to clear a table top coming off a massive berm (BMX Track)but not quite getting to the end ramp. I seem to be getting enough speed but not enough height. I'm not sure its me panicking to get the hight fear off falling. Any Ideas Enjoyed the video

@richdrewtherideseries

Hey Terry! I'd say you need to try to extend the lift phase a bit longer. If I could see a slo mo video I'd bet you are transitioning to the rotation and landing phase a bit too soon. Keep your heels down and keep thinking about creating lift until the rear wheel is off the lip. Let me know if that helps.

Talk about the landing ramps once in a while✌🏻

Hi Rich - great content as always, the MTB hoppers are an excellent training tool. Are you able to advise what the landing ramps are called also?

@richdrewtherideseries

I don’t recommend it per se, but I think it’s good if you’re comfortable enough to be able to do it. I’m trying to stress staying centered over the bike and in these clinic scenarios, I generally sit down into the seat as I’m landing.

What’s the difference in size/transition between the Pro and the Coach w/ the extension?

Hi Rich. So, I've been here for 6 months and I just can't get over the steep lipped stuff. I'm fine with other jumps and drops, but the steep stuff still scares the bejesus out of me. For example...Air Raid vs Shock and Awe. Shock and Awe is no problem, super fun and none of the jumps are a threat. Air Raid is a different story. I don't like that line, at all, because that feeling of getting kicked over the bars makes me fear for my fused spine. I was out for 3 years and seem to have lost all confidence in jumping. The drop and the first two jumps are ok, but after that I just roll it. How do you tackle the steep lips? I've been working on the last jump at hammer down (after watching your vid on it) and I can land on the top, but it hardly feels natural or smooth. More like up, up, up and then just...straight down. Is there a smaller version of this I could practice on around here to get used to the energy of the steep lip? Do your jump clinics cover this? I'd love to attend one. I appreciate what you're doing with these videos and thank you in advance for your help.

@richdrewtherideseries

3 жыл бұрын

Hey there! The steep lips are difficult, no matter how long you've been riding. I think the timing piece of opening up your hips is the most important piece. It's somewhat difficult to explain (and we're planning to do specific video for it) but it makes a big difference. The energy builds very quickly with these steep lips and you end up fighting it with your body if you aren't very dynamic coming off the lip. It takes some time and the clinics certainly do help. Would love to see you at one!

Newbie here. Am I right to understand that you don't pull up at the end of the ramp as if your doing a bunny hop? Do I not need to learn to do a bunny hop before I can take on ramps? Just pull up & lean back?

How much are the transition landing platforms and where do you get those??

Hey Mike! No dilemma my man, use both as effectively as possible. Lee is the man, I just think there’s a bit too much emphasis on hinging from him. It’s essential to hinge, both in life and on the bike. I also feel there is no “one right way” for everyone. Some people can’t squat well for mobility reasons and some may not hinge well. You do you fella!
