The psychological side is sometimes more important than the actual doing, realizing the jump and the landing makes a huge difference in overcoming fear, great video and perception 👍

I'll be honest that was a way better breakdown on how to jump than almost all other tutorials.

@@MTBdropIN is it odd that when I learned to jump I felt that learning how to pump helped more than learning bunny hops? I have no clue why I am watching jump tutorials but KZread sent me here, great tutorial btw.

I’m 57 coming from a BMX background with no experience on full suspension bikes. I have done the dead sailor, got bucked and cased while my friends would clear jumps with perfection. I began just focusing on suspension set up to give me the ability to pop up after compressing the front. I would hit jumps and make it safely and sometimes even boost a jump and getting consistent is still an art form. Those blind jumps are no problem and Now other people are watching me. My advice is to just focus on safely jumping to get the hang of it and practice boosting on table top jumps. Speed , angle of stance and level out will come with time. Crashes rarely happen even though I have had some close calls ( like riding 🎉he front tire out after sending a jump to fast) now my bike is called ,”little pop” and life is good

"every time you fail"... every time I fail I take 3 months of partial and 6 months of full recovery lmao. but ye thanks this video is a gamechanger.

I'm nobody, but the biggest difference seems to be adapting to the lack of rear sus rebound and compression. Jumping a hardtail can be easier in some ways. I find it more intuitive to think about compressing just the front fork as opposed to weighting the bottom bracket (therefore both sus components) and transferring weight for micro-adjustment of rotation.

The best explaining how to jump i have ever seen

Can I add same as this comment, but with a little more. Standing UP. Not getting weight back, but standing up. I was trying to push through my feet the whole time, then pulling up some, with straight arms, WRONG. Push through feet and arms, to load up, then stand up at the top of lip. The bars will come back as you hit the lip, so you don't need to pull back, which I was doing. Arms should be straight, which will stop you going off to the side. ONCE OFF THE LIP, Then, gently push forward to meet the landing. I just need to get braver standing up now. Watched the slo mo here loads of times, and finally, the standing up bit clicked. Still not sending it but now know where I'm falling down. Thanks

@Petr388

​@@derman3658 Well it really depends on the shape of the jump, but basically you should throw yourself a little bit back if you really want to get some height. But consider going back with your upper body only, not your butt. Especially on the steeper lips it will be happening naturally, because it prevents you from soaking the top of the lip which leads to potential OTB. In smaller lips or less steep you should lean back more by yourself and you will get the maximum potencial from the lip. I think when you start to jump more steeper lips, it teaches you by itself naturally to push your upperbody little bit backwards and afterwards you transfer this 'body knowledge' efortlessly to less steep lips.

Great video. As I approach my 50th, I suffer the fears you did when it comes to jumping. Wish I was in my teens again, when I had no fear, but over coming them is a big goal, as my youngest daughter has started riding with me, and I would love her to learn.

I'm 57 and I learn how to jump at 55, started MTB at 54. So I am telling you, you can still do more. I had a lot of crashes, and it's all part of the game. One biker says, "If you are not crashing you are not challenging yourself enough". Just keep on sending it!

Thank you for this! I always find it incredibly helpful to hear people who obviously have a brain and aren‘t 420-ing all of their rides talk about the fear. I am currently working on finally mastering a 5ft drop that has me at 50/50 for coming down rolling (unfortunately only rolling) or going down badly and a lot of my locals are talking it up or down as in those who can do it will talk it down and the rest makes it sound like it is sending Everest. It‘s great to hear and read in the comments that I am not the only guy who contemplates his life choices doing this stuff, and although going off a lip is not strictly related to my issue (my last attempt was a bunny to nosedive and it has scarred my soul), the open way in which you address your own fear was super helpful. A friend who‘s pretty much my level if not a little behind on some things just send my drop and I feel pressured to keep up, so cross your fingers for me ;-)

Hes doing a Pro Hop, not a bunny hop its 2 different things, a bunny hop is when both wheels pop of the ground at the same time

please please please address the one thing that i notice when learning, to simply make sure that when you practice wheelies or anything that gets you front wheel off the ground,, That when you land trying to keep your front wheel straight,, That you are not pulling in favor of your dominant arm, and end up over the bars... when practicing that be aware of it,, I learned the hard way,, That is what i think the pro's take for granted its second nature to them,,,, keep up the good work...

I'm a year in and suffer from the same issue though less and less as I practice. He doesn't cover it in the video because you're not pulling up coming out of preload and its something he probably didn't experience. When you load the bike, you shouldn't have to pull up, its more like, as the bike is unloading you're also unweighting in a sense. Everything comes up together and you shift your weight to level the bike as he explains.
