One more tip is that if you aren't clearing jumps, don't just use more speed. Good technique makes up for extra speed when jumping. I took my large 29er dual suspension to a dirt jump park and I was either casing, or accidentally nose-bonking table tops because I was going in with too much speed. I had a hard time figuring out what was wrong, but then I just hit the tables with less speed than I thought I needed and focused on standing up to the jump face and I cleared the whole line with ease!

@janneboman8573 5 дней назад

Yep. My friend was nervous about a jump and just used more speed to be extra sure to clear the gap. Bad choice. Nose dipped in the air and he went OTB. I called the ambulance. Broken wrist, collarbone and dislocated shoulder.

@mitch_smith 28 дней назад

Well timed video. Went up from 26" 110/130 to 29" 150/160 and the first ride happened yesterday. Jumps feel remarkably different now. I'm over cooking everything.

@eziola 28 дней назад

Thanks Blake. Another great video! I think there's still debate on the timing and amount of pre-load (and rebound) of the FRONT fork on steep lippy jumps on a full suspension bike. Is there no fork preload? Some? Lots? When? The video on jumping that I would LOVE to see, but no one has ever made would be to suit up in a full face, and a protector with a nice deep foam pit and have y'all demonstrate getting sent over the bars (safely into the foam pit of course). I've been sent over the bars in two main ways (with no foam pit haha), the first is like you said, putting your weight back and getting catapulted, but the second way I get ejected is when I accidentally let my fork slam or soak up a very lippy jump, and then when the front tire comes off the lip, the fork rebound in the air pulls me forward. It's sort of like preloading too late, or letting the fork suck up the face of the jump. Sorry for the long comment! It would be great to see you guys get bucked forward or dead sailor into a foam pit in slow motion!

@playgroundchooser 27 дней назад

Oof, that sounds painfully familiar. I reduced the rebound speed on my fork this year and I'm not getting it as bad now. But rock gardens are harder... so there's that. 😂

@Nomads_Rowing 26 дней назад

Cheer ms Blake, Next stage of my mtb progression is jumps and the thoughts of what can go wrong can override what can be done but with your usual excellent explanations along with your default enthusiasm, I’m going forward with a plan of those steps to work with 😎

@zwingler 28 дней назад

Not sure about the scooping the feet part. Generally if you just lift your legs/ bend the knees the pedals will naturally follow, but as all things go, the only way to do is to do it. You can only learn by doing the thing you wanna learn.

@jmotravelingteam 21 день назад

Started the video, saw Blake do the little jump spin on the tabletop, paused the video and hit the thumbs up. Haha. Great stuff!

@markyp1965 27 дней назад

I can think of one or two riders with channels on here, who don’t have great technique (particularly the leg extension part of taking off), but gets lots of kudos. Perhaps, they should be directed to this excellent video?

@transmath 26 дней назад

maybe 1 key parameter not covered here ( and it’s the case in 99% of the Jumpping tuto videos): The speed! You could perfectly know what to do “Compress, stand up, look at landing zone etc” if you don’t have proper speed nothing will happen or you won’t be able to clear the jump properly.

@nightfighter7452 23 дня назад

I managed to get my front wheel up a few times today. One time i landed wrong and flew off the bike so that was fun.

@masterkraznis561 17 дней назад

Отличное обучающее видео! Спасибо тебе!🤝

@clivejcellis 27 дней назад

I'm confused - use the bunny hop technique but says later keep your weight central to stop yourself getting bucked. The bunny hop technique involves aggressively moving your weight to the back? It would be great if GMBN could break down how the jumping bunny hop technique is different from the "on the flat" bunny hop technique 🙏

@Greg-ht2uv 25 дней назад

@@clivejcellis on flat ground you shift back to get the bike up, on a jump the ramp does the lifting. But you need to have the same stand up explosive motion and then follow through.

@clivejcellis 25 дней назад

@@Greg-ht2uv thanks. Yeah I just use my legs to jump atm but im trying to dial Blake's boost technique and get my arms involved. I think he uses a technique similar to the bunnyhop. Pushing down on the handlebars to unweight the front wheel at the top of the lip but rather than shifting his hips back, I think he pivots at the hips as his arms extend. His legs then become fully extended as the back wheel reaches the top of the lip. Not entirely sure though but I think that's what's happening. Will give it a go and hope for the best.

Use the same technique on a small jump and get the feel for it, and preload more and more depending on how you feel about it

@Neropen 9 дней назад

I don’t have any trails with jumps I only have small dirt and sand jumps we made so it’s hard to learn to jump better. Also when I jump my feet always slip off the pedals and I land on my seat with my but and scrape my shins. Is there a way to fix this?

It sounds backwards but loading the back wheel too much can cause it to buck you. Practice a neutral position on your bike. Everything will come with time and practice! Keep at it 🤘

Try practicing bunny hops over a tree limb over and over and then over the lip of a table top, the relaxing is the key or being comfortable airborne and you'll love it. Start small and take your time.

@@godspeed821 I have a friend that feels the same way, his confidence is very low, finally he went for it and got hurt, don't do that, your confidence will tell you if you need to keep pursuing or not. My friend said he will never leave the ground again and that's the best for him. You know what is best for you but don't let confidence block you. You are right though, it's not for everyone but that doesn't mean you are any less of mtn biker than someone that stays in the air. Snobs think they are but that's bs. My friend is one of the best at speed than I've ever seen anyone. Most of the I'm better than you because I can jump crowd would end up crashing if they were to hang with my friend on a track. Remember that my friend !

i'm not saying i'm good at jumping, but spending a lot of time doing jumps helps the most. the technique is most important, but spending time doing is as important. you lose all technique and confidence if you don't keep practising.
