Leveling up my jumping skills with Rich Drew & The Ride Series 

The fact you are not a good jumper is why you are the only mountain biker channel I watch who has not been seriously injured. You make it okay to ride without wrecking ourselves. Thank you.

All the more respect for Rich allowing you to post his wreck. Not just a great teacher but also a real guy. Great video!

I love the way you had both of you mic’d up! Hearing both of you talking in real time added to the video exponentially.

Not easy putting yourself out there like that for everyone to see. Much respect and you did fantastic. Thanks.

Dude, so pumped to see how well you progressed!! I’m excited for it to keep building for years to come 👊🏻👊🏻

Haha even Drew's skandi wipeout had MASSIVE style. Brian you're doing such a great job in your progression, great to see it! Forgot to mention - loving the two mic setup with the RODE.

Well this explains all the jumping and airtime I seen you getting while riding with ya. Rich is an excellent sensei.

You should try to get some more follow cam shots of you in your videos, it is nice to see your style from a third person perspective.

I couldn’t even believe that was Brian when he was following him!! Such big progress!!

this is one of your best videos yet. thanks for making it. i too have years of bad habits that need to be shed. this is very inspirational.

Man it’s awesome. U check ur ego and just wanna be a better rider. Inspiration to us weekend warriors.

As someone on the verge of learning to jump, It’s great to see the process.

I'm now interested in taking Drew's clinic.

Jumping is like a golf swing. If you develop bad habits, it is harder to correct, than if you never picked up a club. Rich is right. Good vid and nice progression Brian.

Wanted to say the new dual-mic setup is awesome! And great video dude!

Great video! I've watched you hate your jumping for what feels like years. Awesome that you took this on and it was helpful for my own poor jumping skills as well. And watching Dude overcook that berm was priceless!!

I learnt how to jump, i throught i have to stay still and the bike will do all the work Thank you so much man

I feel you, I really need a clinic like this. Love this video!

I've seen Rich Drew featured on other channels, and I've got a lot of respect for his coaching style. I wish he was more accessible to me, but being in Florida he's not really nearby. And I don't do well trying to watch videos and then learning because I need that immediate feedback like what he's giving you. By the way, I really like that you have audio from multiple sources going. I think it truly adds to the quality of your videos. These are starting to feel more documentary-like. Like something I'd see on Discovery or something. Keep it up!

I know I've ribbed you over your inability to jump but this video made me so stoked for your future vids. Learning to jump will open up new lines and possibilities. And he'll new trails to ride.

Rich was doing nice manuals down the trail before the fishtail crash so respect

We need to give Sarah some props too. She looked really comfortable and relaxed on the jumps.

Looks like you'll be ready for A-Line on your next visit!

what a great video! encourages everyone who is mediocre or beginning, primarily because of the honesty and transparency and outstanding teacher. no pretense here, all the struggles are included.

WOW Brian! You really put yourself down too much; walk with your head held real high... you're a real shredder, man, and you've even got tons of style! It's unbelieveable, the follow cam is really eye-opening... keep it up, LOVE your videos!

I’ve been wanting to take his class! Great instructor

Today I take my trail (instead of my winter full rigid) and motivate myself hitting some dirty jumps, the only available near home, and clearly I have to load more !!! Thx for the tip Brian 😉 And what a nice place to ride, as usual. Thx again

I feel your struggle man. The wife and I have been working on jumps for years and we still feel like passengers on our bikes. Chunk or drops are no problem, but jumps....ugh..anytime I start feeling like I'm getting it, I start casing or nosediving jumps and getting that sinking feeling with each and every jump. It's so difficult to overcome years of fighting the lip of jumps. I'm sick of getting that depressed feeling after hitting a flow trail at a bike park. I hope you eventually figure it out, then I'll know there's hope for us too. Wishing you the best of luck. 😁👍

Took a lot of guts to put this kind of content out there. Way to go, loved the instruction and encouragement you got. My hat is off to both of you.

This is dope, it's all about progression, whatever level you're at. Nice video buddy.

Great video with great information, the sound quality between both riders was excellent.

Awesome job man! It took me hundreds of reps hitting a jump over and over.... And I still have a ton to learn. But it’s so much fun when you finally clear a proper gap.

Dude... bravo man! Just waiting that half second off the take off and being a tad more patient is helping you so much! Great work gentleman 🤘🏼 one small step at a time and huge gains already 💯🕶

Really rad, like them couching skills from Drew and the progression. Ill be using some of this skills on my jumps.

Great video! Had no idea I’d see you both together. I’ve been watching both of you separately and this was a pleasant surprise!

That a boy! Can’t wait to ride with you again , maybe on some jump trails.

Rich Drew is such a great coach.

This coach is awesome

Very cool. While I'd probably benefit from a Ride Series clinic, I'd really like to have Rain get in one and document her progress.

Wow! That's one of the most stylish crash and locked in burns I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Great session! Stress less, ride more! Ride smart, stay safe..

My issue is using my arms a bit too much, this is great advice! Thanks for the mic work, it makes a big difference to be able to hear what he has to say as he coached you. Good stuff!

Man, I was so looking forward to this video, and it didn't disappoint! Awesome progression, BK! Crazy how far you've skilled up since your first Bentonville video!

glad to see you got training from the best man in town!

Brian, so good to see you doing this. I've struggled with jumps and I've also struggled watching you miss or pass by jumps in your videos. I'm sure you have to be extra safe to avoid injury and down time so this looked like a really safe way to get your jumping foundation built. I can't imagine the pressure you may feel with so many eyes watching you and wanting you to be able to Do It All and Do It All BIG!. Oh....and you need to go back to Berm Peak and knock out all of those features! (No Pressure!)

AWESOME watching you progress!!!!

i felt really bad for the coach when he fell. great video brian!!!

The preload is everything! A local junior high kid named Riley worked with me for like an hour and a half at the bottom of All-American when I was in Bentonville and he helped me get a good preload and good pop at the lip. it made all the difference in the world!

I JUST watched the Rich Drew video and clicked refresh and here is your vid. AWESOME!

That's exactly where I went to build confidence with my jumping when I moved here in January. Love the trails over there, too. Nicely done, Brian!

Dude thats pretty cool that we could hear his mic, even when not on camera.

Nice work, enjoying the teaching along with the video.

Fair play to you Brian . You don't let ego get in the way of a great video. Respect

My 2 favorite channels. Got back into mtb after 25 years. Gonna have to take this course with RD!

Watching Rich stuff it was the best part. That trail is a lot like Flow Coaster here, can't wait until things open up and we can ride again!

Thanks for sharing the lesson!

watched the entire vid, good job!

Stop focusing on the fear we always crash, just pre-load and fly away, love the progression bro and Sarah he's catching you, sister. :)

This is so cool - there was so much progression in a single video! I had the same experience where my jumping greatly improved once I started letting my legs do the work. Once it clicks, it really does feel effortless.

This was awesome to watch! Great work. Cheers.

This video made me happy, super glad you were able to get with the maestro and getting to were you want to be! Congrats bud!

Love seeing you work on this skill. Every time I watch your videos I can't tell if you are going big or not. Turns out your skills in jumping (and possibly overall on the bike) are just like mine. I can't wait to see you progress in this category.

I sincerely appreciate your vulnerability on this topic

So freakin awesome to see you enjoying jumping. You're such an awesome rider but to see you struggle and dog on yourself in bike park vids was such a downer. Now, i can't wait to see you hit Whistler, Trestle or some of the parks in CA. Do me and yourself a huge favor and rent a DH bike for your next park ride. It'll take your jumping up even another level. Then, you'll easily transition into the same feeling on your Ripmo the next time you jump on it. I was so excited to see this vid...keep shreddin!

Great job Killa ! It's only a matter of time now. You'll be showing out soon.

Jumping is a very mental thing. You need confidence in yourself,to me best thing is just trust the guy in front of you and do the same,switch off your brain and do it. Once you pass the first fear moments you can go little by little and then,it pieces itself,BOOM you are jumping! Today it was my first ride in the street since I had my ACL Knee surgery 5 month ago,it was hard but I used the tools I have to overcome the fear of damaging my knee again .

Awesome to see progress and some new confidence. We all have a weakness or two and facing that and working to get better is always rewarding. Great vid as always.

This is GREAT! Being reminded of the "learning process" always helps put things into perspective. Thanks for your work - Love of the sport & advocacy!

Nice Baumgartner Restoration reference (16:52) there at the end.🖌🎨🖼 😁 I heard you mention that channel in your live stream and I've been enjoying those videos. Great job with the jump progression. 💪👍 I hope to make it to one of Rich Drew's clinics sometime soon. I'm not too far away from Bentonville.

iam so stoked 4u i can feel ur emotion as u send the first table....feels so good with a smooth landing ;) now u will" double" the fun on trails..

Finally Up been waiting for this Brian! Get them wings! Dr. Drew is amazing! Liked and shared as always!

Looking good dude! Cool seeing you progress during the vid!

Well done Brian. I've never been able to jump very well and I've been mountain biking since the 90's. Expert tuition has certainly helped you, maybe I should try it too.

There's no better feeling then leaving the trail knowing you've leveled up, confidence up and just can't wait to send it

Congrats! Great progress and really helpful for me, a non-jumper :)

Nice work Brian! By the end your were flicking and adding little tweaks in. The rest of your game is super solid so you are going to be very well rounded. I think that you should just have Sarah tow you into all the jump lines and you'll be fine, She was very impressive and almost landing to flat in you and Rich's Vid's...

Two of my favorite guys!

This is awesome! New rider here and I love seeing this real learning process!!

I saw this clinic near me this weekend. I wish i knew it was going on, id have definitely signed up!

So cool! Good job doing much better! NW Arkansas! My mom is from N Little Rock.

Yo the dual mic setup worked great!!! I cant wait to have that happen more often. Nice job with the vid and it was great to see the progression!!

What an improvement!! at first you jumped like I do but now you are on another whole level :)

So cool to see you progress so quickly by doing rep after rep! Makes me want to go and session some jumps!

Sick getting to see you progress like that 👊🏼

Awesome, nice progression! Rich is the best!

Firstly congrats on improving. Seeing you at the start I never realized how bad you actually were at jumping. Clearly, 80% was a mental block, keep at it man you are looking way better! Love it brother

Really love the follow cam chasing you! You did awesome really cool to see the progression you gta just trust yourself your a damn good rider man! When the teacher crashes 🤣🤣🤣

Good to see you finally jumping now the fun really starts 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤘🏽

Bravo! Great video - very impressive progress!

Dude! So much fun to watch the progression in this video. This was one of the best you've done. Hearing tips from Rich and listening to his feedback from both mics, it made for a great video. When is Part 2!?

Really enjoyed this 👍

Rich is awesome. And his son is too cute. What a great opportunity you had to get all those jump reps. We expect a lot more jumping steez in your future videos. 😁

You can hear the difference in the tires when you were jumping well. Nicely done!

Great video, thanks for this👍👍😎, greetings from Germany👍

Congrats Brian, strong work, I know the struggle, I’m right there with you man

What's kinda cool is that not only is he your coach, but that he's also your jump-psychiatrist as well. Cool take. Nice vid. Thanks!

Happy to see you feeling confident in jumping Brian!

So good Brian....I can fully relate to your jump issues....so cool to see the improvement.

Omg I live literally two football fields away from where that video was filmed. I have seen them out there on many occasions. I went riding yesterday and they were out there training people.

Good job, getting familiar with jumping can get frustrating at times! Before long you will look back and wonder why it was so difficult!

+BKXC good to meet ya last week on All American just keep at it. The trails and design here in NWA have made me a better rider.
