This is quite possibly the best, most detailled and comprehensive "how to jump" video out there. Well done.

Someone is KILLING IT on the video editing for this series. That, in conjunction with Ben's way of describing what he's thinking, is so easy to follow

Seriously feel like I've picked up a ton in this series. Thanks for producing them.

this is awesome. as a pretty capable rider, I enjoy teaching my friends how to ride "better" but it's always really hard because I don't know exactly what's happening when things like getting bucked or dead sailoring occurs. having the physics behind each move really helps me understand why it all happens

I've been jumping since I was a kid racing BMX in the 80's. Yet I've still watched a lot of jumping tutorials to try and refine my technique and prevent crashes. This is the BEST jumping tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing your gifts Ben Cathro! This whole series has been awesome!

I would very much hope that there is a season 2 because this is the best thing on RU-vid

You should get an award for this series! Absolute gold. I'd love to see an episode in season 2 that is all about suspension setup and optimization!!! It would also be great to see some analysis of common friday fails crashes to explain what people are doing wrong so as to avoid making the same mistakes!

I'd love to see an episode on riding technical terrain(i.e. roots, rocks, slabs)and possibly one on riding in dry, loose conditions. This series has been a blast from start to finish. Great work, guys.

I’ve never heard the ‘physics’ of jumping so well explained. Especially enjoyed the bit where you explained boosting perpendicular to the lip and how that affects rotation. I’ll never be able to watch Friday Fails the same again!

Well done Ben, best pinkbike content in years..

Cathro at Cathkin. Love it.

Congrats PB, and cathro! Best bike series i've seen!

Best instructional MTB series, bar none

Ben is incredible. what a score that PB landed him.

I love that you can tell that he is really progressing the meaning of these mtb terms and thinking about what they really mean, not just using other vids as his research.

This should be mandatory series to watch for everyone. Like weekly. :D

Best MTB skills tutorial on YT hands down. Great work!

Best explained how to jump video I’ve seen. Jumping has been my nemesis for a while now, I’ve never been able to pin point what I’m doing wrong but now I know. Cathro you are a Don. Man I wish I booked a coaching course with you years ago when I had the chance.

Ben starting this video with some fire. Hoping to see more content from u in pink bike

thanks for whole series :)

Just wanted to thank you Ben, Max, Glen and anyone else involved in making this series. I just started riding about two months ago, and these lessons have been at the forefront of my mind every single session.

This series are simply a masterclass. Thanks a lot!

Finally! 😊 Drops = Jumps👍👍👍and from the mouth of Ben Cathro, no less! I drove two coaches mad with my assertion that it's jumping, and I don't like it! 😂 Brilliant, thorough walk through of the various techniques - maybe I'll be ready to try an actual hump-jump soon 😎

Hope you will reach the 5000 like really fast! Can’t wait to watch the bunny up episode…

Also, make sure you have enough air in your rear tire or you can easily squish out to one side or another when really pumping the take off….Learned the hard way.

I'm old, want to jump more effectively, with consistency and live to tell about it! This series is awesome! Great depiction of the mechanics of it all!! Thanks

I’ve reached the point where I’m good with trail riding, handling, drops etc. all these videos on bunny hopping(esp season 2 ep) and jumping and you showing the slow mow has really helped me. Recording myself I realized that what I feel and what I’m doing is two differen things 😂

shout out to ben for doing all these improper examples

Best biking series ever. I feel like its a free 1 on 1 with him.

videos like this is worth gold for people who want to be over-prepared or do a lot of theorycrafting before trying something new

Probably the most comprehensive and easy to understand series on how to ride! Explains all the things a rider might be concerned about! Awesome!

BEST HOW TO VIDEO/TUTORIAL EVER!!!!! SERIOUSLY, plenty of slow mo, explained well. I’ve been riding a long time. I’ve watched literally every video out there. I’ve got no problem clearing jumps (I raced dh so it’s always been speed , speed , speed ). Now I want to get some pop and style. After watching this a few times and practicing for a couple of hrs really focusing on bits of this at a time. Then the next bit. Then putting it all together I was clearing larger tables. Where before I was having to pin it. Now I go “trail speed” and it’s so much easier and feels better. After a few days it became natural and I wasn’t thinking about it. CHEERS MR CATHRO. Not only did you help a regular guy out. But I’m getting laid ALOT more.

Thumb up before actually watched it... This whole series is awesome. Thanks 👍

Respect to Ben ! He jumps for this video so many times bad, to show us, how not to jump! And he did jump bad, without crashing! That’s a skilled rider😁🤙🏻

I already feel an emptyness....Season 2 should be with even more Ben! :)

Cathro is absolute best. I love every video with him.

As someone who's been trying to learn to jump this entire year, your vid helped me out the most. The ONE thing I kept getting wrong was where I should be on the bike. Every video I've watched tells me what I should be doing...compress into the face, unweight the front wheel at the lip...blah blah blah... But NEVER did they mention about where your weight should be to prevent the bike from launching you forward! Bravo, my dude.

i’ve watched this video a ton of times and finally got it so i went out at my local trails and i’m clearing and hitting jumps i couldn’t before perfectly, thanks.

I didn't like Cathro when I first came across his videos but I've got to say this instructional series is awesome and now I look forward to the content he puts out. This is the first video I've seen - and I've seen a lot - that made me understand why and how I'm screwing up my jumps and what to do to correct it. He explains it all in a way that translates to the things I already do on the bike in other scenarios. I've probably seen all parts of these techniques explained by other people but never got the entire picture. I hope I'm going to remember this stuff when the snow melts because I can tell it's going to help me improve faster. I'm really grateful to all of you guys for making this series.

This is the best mountain bike series I have ever seen - thanks so much!

Can we get Ben his own clinic? This is the best how to bike series on RU-vid.

Honestly the best instructional video about what not to do by far

THANK YOU GUYS!!! Really appreciate this series, Ben and crew really did an amazing job!!!

A fantastic,realistic,completed explanation of mountain bike! The perfect rules to mix all ingredients to make the best mountain bike for us!!! Thank you!!! You are real number 1!👑🙏

That nugget about tension between the pedal and handlebar makes a lot of sense

Oh, this certainly made my day so much better. Thank you Ben (and Pinkbike and the crew )for this series. Absolute legends!

A round of applause to the people in charge of audio-video editing and special effects! As great as Ben's content is, it's been taken to a whole new level with the graphics and slow-motion effects. P/S - How many Wilhelm screams were used in the entire series? 😜

Very relatable series on how to further develop your skills towards becoming an advanced rider. Ben thanks for putting together these incredibly helpful videos.

Awesome series! Really entertaining, digestible, well filmed and edited. Particularly liked the physical explanations and diagrams as to why certain moves can go wrong on the bike. Thanks Ben and PB!

Man I love this guy! Super excited to hear season 2 is coming!!

This is brilliant. Definitely and by far the best videos (and mini series) I have personally come across.What I love the most is how simple you managed to make this topic and yet maintaining all the most important aspects. Real kudos to you good man. Thank you

I've loved the series! Well done guys, I can't wait for season 2.

yeah i've watched a ton of "how to jump" vids and eventually I figured out how to jump. This video, Hands down is the best i've ever seen, thank you!!! this is awesome, I wish this had been out there when I was getting started on jumps.

Ben, great vid, and great series. I found this after my shoulder surgery. I can't wait to get on my bike and put these vids to use. You do an excellent job breaking down the skills. I love to ride but can't wait to go faster and smoother.

Loving Ben's content. Thanks Ben and production crew.

Maybe my favourite MTB series on RU-vid! I loved every minute and hope to see more Ben Cathro on the channel

great vid. the amount of effort you have put into a concise and clear explanation of these movements is VERY evident

This series sets a new standard on doing how to videos. Very comprehensive and super entertaining!

thank you Pinkbike, thank you Ben.. this is an awesome series, thanks for all your hardwork.. this series thought me/us so much.. for beginners like me , this is like a holy grail of mtb.. we now enjoy our local trails so much more because of the lessons we learned on this series, thanks again, good job guys!

The most thorough explanation on RU-vid! Thank you guys! You are doing fantastic job for us beginners looking how to learn stuff smart way not hard way

Once again, Cathro has done it! Best how to jump video online. thanks for this and the whole series. loved it.

Thks is the most in depth 'How to Jump' video out there. Even I know how to jump decently well, I do not realise my techniques or mistakes and why this or that happened in the air till now. I definitely will be more aware of my body position now and will try all variations mentioned. Ben you're a legend 😍

Great content Ben Cathro…I can’t wait for your season two!

Cathro needs a $$$ bonus for doing all those sketchy " I almost died" jumps just for our education

Ben is BY FAR the best bike instructor i have ever seen, so casual yet precise and technical. I love it!

The Top Master of jumping technics. My respect !!!

Fantastic production quality and Ben is so disarming, kind, and informative. Thanks a ton

This series has been just awesome, what a guy and the way you explain everything! Love the humour too, jumping’s my weakness so definitely going to keep practicing!! Thanks Cathro 🙌

Thank you ben. I've learned alot with your videos specially on how to bike videos. Hoping for season 2.

This is far and away the best how to jump video. So well explained.

Thanks Ben, Max and Glen for an awesome series on how to bike. Learned a lot. Now we wait for the full length bloopers reel. :)

I will be watching and re watching all the videos in this series for the next few months! Looking forward to progressing some skills!

Big props to Ben, the Team and Pinkbike for discribing perfeclty in this series what its all about

Best how to jump video i've ever seen. Ben.... legend.

Outstanding series. Thanks.

This is by far the "best" how-to-jump video I´ve watched. And I watched them all ;) Many thanks, I can´t wait to try it, once the weather gets better...

Best MTB how to series! Thanks.

A thank you (once again) from all the coaches out there for making our lives easier! I'll always point clients in the direction of your video's so they can understand WHY I make them do the things I do, and so they can understand HOW things are meant to happen.

By miles this is the best how to MTB series ever. Big thumbs up!! Well done Ben!

Agree, one of the best jumping videos out there. I really love how the mistakes are broken down. Also the comment on different angle of leaning back based in the steepness of the jump, so helpful. I’m trying to learn to jump in my 40s and it’s so true that my fellow riders that jumped bmx as kids have no real idea they just send it beautifully. Thank you.

Nailed it! Thanks for the great vids! Back at it after a 20 year hiatus and never learned how to jump properly. This is extremely helpful!

Fantastic video; probably the most complete explanation on how to do this. Great job!

Somehow Ben always explains it way better than any other coach I've taken lessons , or watched videos from. I love the "physics first" style of teaching. Thanks a lot Ben and PB !

The entire series has been great, thanks Ben and Pinkbike for making this series!

Well done. Thanks so much for the whole series. Lots of stuff packed in there. I will keep re-watching until the Second Season comes out. Ben's is Awesome. Thanks also to Max and Glen.

Simply put.. amazing video! Great job

Amazing video Ben! I love the clips of you making mistakes, hilarious!! Your videos have made sooo many how-to videos obsolete, great job explaining everything in an easy to understand way!!! Your the man Ben cant wait for season 2!!!

best series ever, season 2 please!

Brilliant series! Definitely learned a lot! Now to find some time to actually practice it all … Highly recommended your series to some other beginner friends who also found your videos super useful, informative and well presented! And funny most of all :) Looking forward to season 2! If you are ever planning on giving lessons at Nevis Range again I’ll be the first to sign up ;)

Massive congratulations to everyone! The episodes are by far the most detailed, comprehensive, fun, and enjoyable to watch. Opened my horizon and affirmation in my riding. Great job Ben and team! Happy New year! Cheers from the Philippines! 🎉

Sir Ben is always good at his presentations/explanations.

Absolutely the best "how to jump" video on yt, and I've watched 100 of them.

Best series around. Now I just need to work out how to plug this into my noggin Neo styles so it stays in there when approaching jump/berm/turn/drop/feature/etc 😜

watched the full series, a few things throughout havent clicked untill the way you explained it in this video. Thanks :)

Por lejos el mejor video de “how to jump” que he visto… inteligente y con una edición genial. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is the absolute best information to consume if you're new to jumping and thank you, Ben, for putting it out there in to the ether. Well presented, well illustrated and shot. Minty fresh!

Great and entertaining. You are so much fun to watch and learn from. Thanks and have a fantastic holiday!

Wow, the best instructional video on mtb jumping technique that I have seen! Thank you Ben Cathro and team! Please keep it up.

LOVELY video!!! I like how in the end you stated that those that do it well mostly have NO clue how they are doing it. SO true!!! But some of us need to see this tech detail so we can confidently go experience those jumps and adjust, knowing the 'right' path! Thanks for producing this good stuff!
