The Secret to Steep Dirt Jumps | How to string a row of jumps together
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Steep lips, whippy lips, whatever you want to call them, can look very intimidating compared to mellower lips. But once you figure out how to handle them, you'll find dirt jumping can be really addictive! Let's get the low-down, and also how we can smoothly link several in a row together.

Ive been riding for years and i couldnt believe how much higher i went when i kept my legs straight until the back tire left the lip. It was a grest feeling. I wish someone would have taught me this yewrs ago.
Thank you very much for the tips on how to do dirt jumps. Great video.
Great work keeping it simple.
Great insight Emily!
Nice video Emily!
very informative! cheers!
great video TY!
Beste dirt jump beginner tutorial on youtube. Only thing that was missing that somebody taught me is last time i rode my dirt jumper is not to bend the legs to much while riding up the face of the jump

Correct. Make yourself small at the bottom to pump into the beginning of the jump and then explode coming off
Thanks great content 🍻
As usual another great video and answered all my questions about jumping . I've started on smaller jump lines but was nervous hitting the steeper lines but you have given the answers and tips and better understanding. Thanks Emily such a great teacher .

Thanks for this Emily - I like the way you got rid of the traffic noise at the A3 jumps 👊 Where are the other jumps?

Ha, ninja skills 😉 The other jumps are in France not far from Grenoble - quite far from where I live but the closest we've got 😥
When the timing do i snap pop the legs? Before end of the lift?
One big question for me: I jump too early- when i see the lip I raise the front end then my back wheel comes off the jump earlier than the lip -as u do here too, your back wheel touches the lip ( end of jump) -how do to that? how to think about that? Almost like a manual ? can u please help me with that ;D ?
Any top technique tips for going from trail jumping on an enduro bike to jump lines on a dj bike?

hmm.. it kinda depends on the jumps. If the jumps you usually do on your enduro are pretty steep then probably not much difference, but if they are more mellow and require speed, then I'd say be careful about not going too fast on proper steep jump lines on a DJ bike. You'll probably get more boost/speed from the DJ cos there's no suspension sucking energy/speed. Hope that helps!
What size wheels are yours ? TIA trying to build a proper big bmx/dirt build

I'm on a 26" on the DJ bike. It's nice, it gives a good margin for error compared to a BMX but it's nice and precise.
