As with most MTB skills, the key is in your preparation. A good foundation of basic skills as well as having equipment such as suspension pre-dialled will make getting in the air much less daunting. Starting out small on a tabletop-like jump is a great place to start.

@pk9580 5 лет назад

What I have learned, is to stop pedaling at least couple of meters before jump, to get ideal body position and prepare for jump.

@jojoaspi7398 7 лет назад

Having the proper protective gear also gives some confidence.

@alexrobb5539 7 лет назад

my brother's friend was not clearing a jump and then put pads on and had confidence to go faster clearing the jump

@thepioneer6178 7 лет назад

Absolutely, I tried to hit a jump and I was wearing cheap baseball gloves. My left hand slipped off the bar while I was in the air, so I crashed and severely sprained my ankle. Wear proper gear and it will give you more confidence and you'll also be more safe.

Really helpful video, I am learning to improve my skills as a rider and jumping is a slow process and building my confidence, I have also not long progressed up to a full suspension bike and you answered a question I had about rear dampening on the shock, nice one, I'll give that a go. Really enjoy all your videos and found them great help.

Can you guys do a vid on how to hit jumps with really bad/small take off's but a long gap to jump.

@81sante 7 лет назад

Do you go on a 170mm fox here? I am thinking on getting a 170mm as well on my enduro, after having a bad hand injury i probably take advantage of a bit more of travel. One more question. At the last jump at 3:52 you dont use additional bunny hop movement. Would you say that when the jumps are getting really high, that you just bump and let go then? I find myself doing this when i ride a bigger one. great Vid, like all of yours....really enjoy the m.

@TheMajestikGamerChannel 6 лет назад

I used to jump just about anything when I was 13/14 yrs old. I moved house, lost my big backyard with jump spots and kinda stopped riding. I went from short to 6ft 2 and lost the coordination for jumping because of my height and not riding for 7-8 years. I regret it so much... I'm getting back into it but I need to retrain my muscles for it. My mind knows what to do but I feel like I'm starting from square one again.

@paulwolfram7774 2 года назад

I know this video is failty old now so I probably won't get an answer but I thought I give it a shot: I was wondering whether Neil or someone else could share their experience with jumping an X2 shock. I feel like mine sucks up a lot of energy when compressing into the lip, hence losing quite some speed and pop. And it's not easily fixed by just upping compression and air pressure, changing rebound and adding tokens, I tried a lot of different setting, currently running max PSI and compression. It seems more that the shock is generally intended for groundhugging downhill riding, not for getting air-borne.

@whatspoppinsam 4 года назад

My top advices would be: - Try again. - Try again - And finally, try again. There's no getting up without falling down. You learn that as a baby. You either get on that bike and try again or you learn/focus on the basics ( take smaller jumps, work your technique, watch videos). And as my boy Rocky Balboa would say: '' You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life( or a bike in this case). But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
