    Here's a quick tip: when you jump, you can control two main things: how high you jump and the speed going into the jump. These two factors are independent of each other. There is acceleration in the y-axis (gravity,) but none in the x-axis. Therefore, assuming you hit a jump at a constant speed every time, the only way to jump farther is to jump higher.

    Dude this is exactly what I struggle with and have had the fear since going nose heavy really really badly like you one time but luckily I rolled out of it somehow and just recently have gotten some confidence back and sending jumps, however I still don’t preload much or boost them hardly at all, I just can’t seem to nail it and I get timid. I know your feelings! Great video!

    I recently had a similar insight at my local skills park. After hearing forever (years) to do most of the preload with my feet and not much in my hands I decided to try to copy what the good jumpers were doing- bring that bar in to your hips while standing up after the pre-load. Well, best results I ever got! The one thing that can happen is if you pull up unevenly you can get crooked in the air. But I guess I let that fear get the best of me. Keep it up! Arms baby!

    These were som solid pointers you've seem to have gotten!! I'm also hitting a decade of biking without coaching and first if all I'm gonna start trying to actually learn new stuff and secondly doing it with help from people who knows how to. 37 is old enough not to be to proud to take advice 👌

    After being off my bike for 3 months with a shoulder injury, I have had very little desire to watch any KZread MTB stuff... This was just the type of video I needed! Watching Seth, Singletrack, Van Duzer and BKXC doing their regular thing (talented boys in cool trails) was just making me jealous lol. Well done, funny (as always) and inspiring vlog. Back on the trails tomorrow. Cheers!

    Always good to see people progress. Pumping and popping off the lip is a crucial part of jumping, whenever you get that feel down you can start to figure out how to stay more neutral in the air and rotate your bike nose down or however you want into the landing (like Colin did in the follow cam) once you reach that buttery smooth transition you know you’ve mastered it.

    It was good to see someone sessioning jumps and learning on each one. And I hear you when it comes to fear about jumps, I'm 48 and tired of the numerous nights in the hospital.

    Looking forward to seeing the progression. I feel like i'm also in a spot where I have decent jump skills, but get spooked on larger jumps. I'm afraid of getting bucked, and on the jumps I get nervous on, I notice I tend to screw up more. I think Colin brings up a good point where he talks having to pump and preload into all jumps otherwise you'll lose control/ get bucked. That really seems to be my issue is that on the larger jumps or jumps I know I've struggled with, I get nervous and ride them more timidly and don't preload into them, causing me to have problems. It makes a lot of sense to try and be more aggressive with my preload coming into them like I do on jumps I know I can clear. Mental games and blocks...
