How is your jumping? Do you have any tips for someone who is learning or wanting to improve?

@Jean-jk4zv Год назад

got an Oiz TR, 780mm 40mm rise bar and short stem, and I'm doing jumps everywhere I can 🤪 this bike is so fun. improving my tables and whips atm for style. weird thing is I tend to land with both wheels or back wheel slightly first, I got a bmx street background so... need to try landing the front wheel first.

@nukedathlonman Год назад

My jumping isn't bad - won't qualify for frequent air mile's like you blokes, but I do fairly well. :-) And yes, I'm on an XC bike (though with 10mm less travel). Do note: I don't have XC wheels and tires however (if it wasn't for geometry and short travel suspension, my bike has more parts in common to an AM bike).

@wangelite5279 Год назад

Is the frame of XC bikes as strong or will it be prone to breaking doing jumps and drops? That feels like a crucial caveat for why xc bikes are not suitable.

@nukedathlonman Год назад

@@wangelite5279 Geometry would be the primary thing. But on big jumps, the short suspension does mean the frame (and rider) would be punished more (far easier to run out of suspension travel). On a specifically race bred XC bike were lightness is paramount, it might be more prone to breakage of all sorts. But on XC styled trail bike, na.

@bermchasin Год назад

i jump all the time on a scott spark, but haven't hit the massive ones yet.

@peterbarratt3457 Год назад

I ride a 100mm travel XC bike which I use for everything. XC, bike parks, down hill even going to the shops. All I changed was I put a short stem and riser bars on it, oh and meatier tyres

@XeviEsSe Год назад

That’s exactly what i did

@ViorelSnap Год назад

I did the same, dropper as well I feel is a hide upgrade. Now I need to learn jumps/drops, I'm still a newbie but hopefully one day I'll get the hang of it.

@K.V.P14 Год назад

Really enjoy the 'Don's' solo tip videos , love his simple yet thorough explanation, and as always , great technique 👏

@deanhargett Год назад

Perfect timing. I videoed myself jumping on my XC (my only) bike morning. I’ve concluded that I need all the tips I can get!

@gmbn Год назад

Good to hear it. Hopefully this video helps you, remember practice, practice, practice!

@K.V.P14 Год назад

Why did you name your bike morning ? 🙄🙄

@deanhargett Год назад

@@K.V.P14 obviously I need tips on writing as well lol

@jonnyboi2536 Год назад

Yes, 100mm fork with big dropper and chunky firm tubeless setup, 👌🏼

@floydblandston108 Год назад

The Don lays it down- this is what *real* skills look like!😊

@stevencole7331 Год назад

My 2018 Cannondale Scaple se received a more capable rear shock ,shorter stem and rise bars making it capable for most of what the trail can offer . May list a bit of it's xc capabilities but not allot . I also use maxxis minions 2.3 with exo casing to go with lower pressures . The thing about today's xc bikes is you can make them very trail capable with a few changes it's more difficult to take a Enduro bike and make it more xc compatible

@TC_Prof Год назад

Using XC/DC type 120 travel need this type of content ❤

@IMikePlays Год назад

I have an XC Bike but I treat it like it's a Hardtail Enduro Bike, love it! 😁❤️

@jamesfiegel9675 Год назад

Neal is the Best :)

@rivercloud33 Год назад

Any bike can jump ! Just ask Sam Pilgrim!!! TO THE SKY

@JB-1138 Год назад

Hell yeah!

@bermchasin Год назад

litreally tha DREAM.

@limeyjoe1632 Год назад

Back in the good ol' days (he says like a proper old man) my first mountain bike was a Hardtail with rigid straight forks, you get a jump wrong on that you knew about it!

@Dlawler Год назад

As a beginner, XC bike has very much gone 130/130 "Downcountry" bike, and used as such, I need all the help I can

@anitalandkroon Год назад

Great video 😃 Can you also show me how to jump over that very high one 😱😱 it's a little scary

@RealCascars Год назад

video idea: xc fully vs enduro/trail hardtail price may differ, of course the fully wil be more expensive. but the bikes must be the same: same shifters same brakes, same frame material, etc

@Orech9 3 месяца назад

Please can you make more xc hardtail videos??? Thanks

@ODPTV1 Год назад

I've got a 1998 Gary Fisher Joshua full suspension XC bike and it actually jumps alright after raising the cockpit shorter stem wide bars etc

@valeriesorrells Год назад

pads.... back in my day we didn't wear pads, or have suspension... or a dropper post. Did we have more scars, heck yeah.

@rratmaster 8 месяцев назад

What jacket is that?

@NotSoSuave 10 месяцев назад

I think I just started hating my XC bike based on these allowed jumps.

@deedontworry Год назад

Ofcourse you can jump with XC's!

@thevapingpolisher9717 Год назад

I jump my down country bike and it’s a 26 er off anything I can get air off of .

@kjracz15 Год назад

I don't use droppers so whenever I jump, getting my balls smacked by the seat happens sometimes... sometimes. 😂

@madtownangler Год назад

For old farts like me that is a downhill bike you have.

@w5glsgary919 Год назад

Exactly

@TryN2_Ride Год назад

Amen !!

@joostdeen9614 Год назад

Yes indeed!! Give it a bit more travel and send it 💪🏾

@K.V.P14 Год назад

You can jump ANYTHING that has wheels , just REMEMBER it doesn't always go to plan 😂

@habbahan Год назад

XC bikes can jump, but the rider should be very precise and smooth. Harsh landings will disassemble the flimsy components at a noticeable rate :)

@westbrookwellness4366 Год назад

Have you seen the XC courses these days... "A" lines have drops like Enduro and Jumps waaaahaaaayeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

@Apostroph418 Год назад

So i guess if you're not perfect technique, theres no reason to even try jumping on XC bike in races.

@philbLeprechaun Год назад

@gmbn Год назад

🏁🏆

@philbLeprechaun Год назад

@@gmbn I find my xc bike is very easy and happy to get off the ground and easier to handle in the air too. Smaller jumps are more fun on it. so its arguably better in ways.

@mantiskf2003 Год назад

Lower tyre pressures learn the hard way; or more precisely, land the hard way can end in death......... only a few weeks before a Covid delayed overseas vacation, a broken bone would have resulted in death by wife.
