How to progress on mountain bike jumping when your in your 50's | If I could only stand! 

Great vid, glad to see I am not the only 50 year old out there trying to get better at jumps.

Yeah, it's so hard when you're getting on a bit. I'm still trying to get that 'stand up to the jump' thing. Just got to keep at it, might master it by the time I'm 90. Thanks for filming, Andy

This is great mate! I'm almost 50 and just learning so videos like this get me stoked!

I'm 51 and started up again after many years of not riding. I had hip resurfacing done last year it's giving me a new lease of life!

Great video Mike, it's great when someone can give tips. A great place to practise and great shots. Thanks for sharing and have a nice week my friend. Happy holidays and a relaxing time to you and your family🙌

Nice work Mike... Those little kicker rams really are worth the money... Easy to move around and set up... And open up a whole HEAP of extra opportunity to get some practice in when you normally wouldn't have the chance to (without travelling to another location)... Nice prgress as well... Good job buddy... And keep it up!

Looking good, Mike! That sure is a nice ramp to help on your jumping skills.

Awesome video I’m having same problem but it reminds me of my motocross days. There was this finish line jump that always had a kicker and I always complained to track maintenance to fix it until I figured out I needed more speed stand up and push my body over handlebars. For some reason I also get scared when I get to jumps and slow down a bit. Have to conquer my fear this year . 👍

Nice man looks like you are having a blast. One thing I would recommend working on is pre-loading before you start to hit the ramp. Apply pressure downward as you are approaching the jump. That will help you come off the jump more controlled and be more controlled in the air. Both of you guys weren’t pre-loading which is why right when you both come off the jump your bikes pop upward towards your bodies. What you are doing there is more of a scrub/speed technique. Just my two cents. Glad you guys are having fun and getting better. Ps. How do you like that jump? Which one is it? Quick set up once you’re on-site? I’ve been looking into getting one.

Sick edit mike. So good to break it down to see the mechanics of it all. Well done mate

Really well delivered and presented video that I found really interesting . You two guys are so cool and honest and compliment each other so well. I can’t jump at all and probably need to do this .

Great job man... excellent video... shows there's hope for late MTB bloomers like me! Keep up the great videos. 👍

great jump training dear friend, greetings from Argentina

Stand up to the jump. Stand up t the jump. Sing it 3x.
