It's hard to stop being bucked over the bars once it has started so prevention is the best cure. Suspension set up, tyre pressure, body weight, and pre loading the jump will all help you send without going OTB!

Also, it might not be obvious to everyone, but make sure you are off the brakes going over the jump. Applying any brakes on a jump will shift your weight forward and send you OTB.

@vwbradyboy 4 года назад

Great advice on bike setup, Blake! I think another common cause is when someone doesn't fully commit to a jump and changes their mind on the lip, suddenly attempting to soak it up or scrub it. They end up lifting their front wheel over the lip or trying to soak up their bike with their legs. Their rear wheel cannot do the same and their legs will not have enough travel for the jump. Essentially their front tire scrubs and their rear tire jumps, sending them OTB.

@pierrebroccoli.9396 4 года назад

If you are not feeling well, take it easy and save hitting jumps for another day. I ignored my inner voice, went to the park and had my mind elsewhere when I approached some gap jumps first run. Came in too slow and front wheel cased the second lip sending me OTB. Owch. 2 more falls that day and it was oh great, time to lick my wounds and go home. Destroyed 2 spokes on the last fall as the bike cartwheeled and back wheel slammed on top of a cut tree trunk. So, mind needs to be in the game and commit to the jump too. ))

@eliotcrowe7884 4 года назад

I have the opposite problem - I'm so scared of going OTB that my jumps are lame! One piece that I find confusing: I've heard many times that good bunnyhop technique gives you the foundation for jumping, but I'm not sure which specific bits of bunnyhopping! For example, in this vid Blake gave the tip that you shouldn't drop back over the rear wheel, which is a key part of bunnyhop technique. I probably need to just practice more, and get the feel for it.

@caffeineau 4 года назад

I went OTB on a crappy little jump recently, this video makes a lot of sense as to why, thanks Blake and GMBN!

@ianfurqueron5850 4 года назад

Over the past couple of months, I've been trying to get my jumping mojo back (not easy in your late 40's) and honestly, the "well, duh..." moment for me was just remembering to pull up on the take off. Yeah, it's so simple, but I swear in most of the "Fails" videos I see, that is the number one thing riders do wrong - they come into a jump fast, have a bit of a panic and then forget to pull up. Then they become a passenger and an OTB becomes more likely.

@vwbradyboy 4 года назад

A lot of you tubers who try to teach jumping say "bunny hop the lip", or "pre-load your suspension by pushing into the takeoff". Though correct, this is bad advice for someone who is trying to learn to jump, aka your viewers. Good advice: Go to a properly made jump and practice riding over it with your weight balanced over both wheels, don't concern yourself with air time, the jump should do the work for you and eventually you'll be clearing it without any bunny hopping. Then, practice controlling that balance in the air to maneuver the bike. If you've never jumped before, THIS is where you start. You don't start by learning to bunny hop, that's for more experienced jumpers who strictly want to add height to their jump.

@barneyisourhero 4 года назад

Great video thanks Blake. I seem to get bucked whenever I pump the limp too hard so I either don't pump it enough and don't clear it or come in too fast to try and use speed to clear it which makes me more of a passenger rather than a driver. This is a real problem for me on larger jumps so I just end up braking early and rolling over them.

2:30 So This is how I broke my leg last summer. It's nice that GMBN have done videos on how I broke my leg twice in 51 weeks and we've never met. On a related side note, the hospital gave me a walking stick this week. I'm not even as old as Neil yet. And I haven't crashed as much. They said I might be back on the bike In 3-4 weeks but I'm gonna need the stick when I'm not. At least to begin with. 3:17 When this happens crank the rear brake and don't let go. The wheels spinning is what helps keep the bike in the air. If you prevent the rear from spinning the back will start to drop. The longer it's not spinning the faster and more severe the drop becomes. Mastering this technique could save your ass.
