Bruce Lee was a smart mofo. I sure hope the Jump vid I'm premiering tonight can hold a candle to this one.

@SHEESHKAH 6 лет назад

You should do an advanced jump technique video. How to take steeper lips, how to hip properly, how to take larger jumps, how to get amplitude

@MTBTrailRider 5 лет назад

YES! I am still a beginner getting comfortable jumping - Kind of in the transition between popping off the lip and still riding it without pop (depends on the jump on the trail and what I'm comfortable with). But I love to learn and watch different techniques!

Sam I have watched endless videos trying to learn how to jump and this is by far the best .. your the first to say don’t try to pop for beginners and I have found that the best way for me learning .. I have nearly killed myself trying to pop and bunny hop on jumps !! Brill

@raphben23 6 лет назад

Glen Pointon Fly Fishing Vlog you're damn right! I had the same problem!

@Wizler71 6 лет назад

I started small when I was fist learning. I found that by going a little faster and faster over the same table that my bike naturally began to come off the ground. Then it was actually easier to jump the table than try to ride over it. But when I started popping I started overshooting the same jump! It actually was a nice progressive learning curve and I learned that I could use different techniques for different situations and results.

@MichaelTV44 6 лет назад

This was more helpful then GMBN's jump video.

@gnawershreth 6 лет назад

Yes, I think it's because they always cut down the videos to be honest. You don't really get too see much in the them besides just the presenter talking. Their videos are often way too short in my opinion, and I highly doubt it's because they don't have more footage. They just have this thing for really short videos.. It's like a trend these days it seems and it seriously hurts the amount of usable information on RU-vid imo.

@justinholmes5614 6 лет назад

Cadyn Jadyn Bingo ! That manual business before a jump always confused me. When you watch the GMBN guys jump, none of them hang off the back like a manual at all, but for some reason that’s how they want to teach it. I learned a lot more here.

@siphomagqibelo8317 6 лет назад

That is so true👍

@benflaton 6 лет назад

I think that’s because he makes it relateble to beginners, gmbn makes it way to complicated. You don’t use a bunnyhop on a jump, then you will defenitly overjump it, speed and confidence makes jumping way better then just bunnyhopping

Definitely one of the better jump tutorials out there. Many of us understand the basics of jumping but it's the finer details which to the beginner, are crucial in understanding the whole picture and acquiring the confidence to go bigger. You touched on aspects of jumping which I haven't seen in other vids, and I've seen many! Well done, mate and thanks for taking the time to make yet another jump vid, but one which is tailored to those of us who desperately want to take it to the skies, but haven't yet attained a ticket! Cheers 👍🏻

@mortonfrankfire5400 6 лет назад

This is freaking hilarious! It’s got such a good tone to it. Most jump videos are really dry.

@JamesDownes 5 лет назад

This is the best how-to jump tutorial. The bunny hop for me is more complicated and not as stable as letting the ramp guide you up. I'm new to MTBing and this video is clear and easy to understand. Thanks Sam.

@falty26 3 года назад

Somehow I knew you'd have the most sensible advice on how to jump. I'm a beginner jumper and am glad to hear that it's okay to let the jump do the work for you when starting out. I'll stick to this method for now, working on speed. feeling the jump and getting a decent landing in.

@kidqwick57 5 лет назад

Also important for beginner jumpers is to slow down your rear rebound. I used to have my rear rebound fast and would wonder why it felt like the back bucking. A good reference my friend gave me was to set set your rear rebound slower than it takes your bike to come back up under you after sitting on it with both feet on the ground, and standing up.

Hi dear Sam, thank you so much for this video, really naturally presented how it supposed to be.

I have relocated from Kyiv, Ukraine a month ago and dreaming to meet ya one day in person. That will be such an honor for me. I was following a while and by accident I'm now living in Colchester! :) God bless, stay safe and positive as always! All the best!

@clivejcellis 6 лет назад

Sam, I had some jumping coaching from Tom Dowie who also taught us the non popping method - so glad to see someone else recommend the same technique for beginners. With the popping method other you tube videos seem to be a bit misleading by suggesting the jumping technique is as the American bunnyhop, however when you watch them jump their hips never move towards the back tire (like they would with a bunnyhop). Great video many thanks

@MrRatt1980 6 лет назад

Sam this was a useful vid. Always seeing videos on RU-vid going on about having to manual in to a jump. But your technique makes it look more simple. Trying to manual my GT has always been a pain in the arse so never gave it a go to jump. But think now I will.

Thank you so much for this video! Everyone teaches jumps that you must do bunnyhop on the lip to get the pop. Your advice of simply staying balanced and unweighting the bike slightly worked great. I was scared of jumps cause I can't do nice proper bunny hop yet. But you made it possible. Jumping is so much fun!

@marcelknop1 6 лет назад

Excellent tips here Sam. I used to be able to jump some jumps without even thinking about them, until I started watching too many "how to" jump videos. They all talk about the bunny hop technique. Then I started overanalysing and feeling really uncomfortable on jumps which I previously had no problems on. Just recently I re- discovered what you are referring to here, that is "just let the bike flow" under you. You have now given me some confidence that I am headed in the right direction. Thanks Sam

@marcelknop1 6 лет назад

PS: I am still having problems with some of the steeper lips trying to buck me and landing them with the front wheel first. Scary , but with time I'm sure I'll improve. Any tips you have would be great.

This is probably the best video i have found to date on learning to jump ( may include all literature in my statement also! ) I am mid 30's and been biking for years, had a good few off's from jumps and broken bones, been knocked out etc. My confidence with them was zero for a longtime! I was buiding up to something like this and built a cheap and nasty dirt jump bike (2nd hand DMR frame etc ) as i wanted to nail it sooooo bad. After watching this last night i was itching to go have a blast at my local trails and this video helped shit loads!!! Thanks so much for putting the effort and time into making this Sam, can we have more "how to" videos for idiots like me whos ambition out weighs my talent? I'm feeling a bit brave all of a sudden with this new found confidence! :D Cheers dude

@dimensionsofearth 6 лет назад

So cool I think you did a good job making the lesson un-complicated, especially compared to most how to jump videos! I've never seen anyone explain that you can simply un-weight the bike or generally explain jumping in such a clear and easy to understand way.

@SamPilgrim 6 лет назад

Awesome, glad you think so!

@senseiborwick5259 5 лет назад

I totally agree with what was said about bunny hopping off the lip. Learning technical maneuvers on a bicycle is hard because you use so much of your body and brain all at the same time. Your legs, back, arms, fingers, eyes, and conscious mind are always occupied just Riding in a straight line. Trying to simply remember the steps of a tecnique right as your about to perform it is difficult as is, monitor speed, lean back, pull bars slightly, bring bars toward waste in the air, adjust pitch if bike, absorb impact. That's so much to think about for a new rider all at once plus coping with fear. Simply relaxing and. Unweighting the bike is a great tip that I'd recommend versus trying to perform a completely different technique (bunny hop) within your jumping tecnique in itself.

Jumps are the scariest things to me as a golf pro.. but when you do less and free yourself up then you will be able to do more then you maybe previously thought possible. Anywho random thought that made sense doing less to get more out of jumps.. anywho starting the vid back up kuz it’s not over yet! Haha
