    I watched this video when it came out and the cueing around hip position relative to the rear axle was something I’d literally never heard before. Since then I’ve been giving it a shot on the trails and it’s like hitting boost pads in Mario Kart. This video totally changed the way I look at trails. Thank you for that.

      it's funny, because the first tutorial I saw was Lee and Alex's from Joy of bikes, and they explain this as a row-counter row motion. however, the end result of the counter row is essentially the same, it moves your hips back when it's time to pump. and the other advice here to not go too far back is addressed with the row motion on the upward side of the berm.
      I moved from a small 27.5 inch bike to a medium 29er and noticed immediately I wasn't as fast on the track. i wonder if the linger chainstay on the larger back is just far enough that my hips aren't going back enough. I can still pump and accelerate, just not as easily.

      This is it! What bebovito siad. I started riding this year.. I watch tons of skills tutorials.. like really tons.. all parts of the world.. great youtubers often amazing riders.. they know how to ride and make videos.. but K&A tutorials are godsend! Your have something special to this.. and I mean I understand and catch some details better.. it is explained better.. in order.. I think it is really April, her trust in you.. but also you being really careful with her and the blend of your explanations for her and simultaneously for us.. the only thing that can beat you is real life instructor taking me for a spin.. directly correcting my riding.. with years of experience and tricks that they rather not show on internet. Great great stuff!

    These lesson videos are just fantastic! So insightful and clear. All the comments about you being a great coach are spot on, Kyle. What makes it even better is that you're a great demonstrator, April. I realise you both put a lot of time into your parts but in the edit the difference in April's body position is so clear to see and make it easy for the viewer to understand what Kyle has said. That's a real plus and it's not easy to do because people always think their movements are more dynamic than they actually are. It kinda involves exaggerating movements but not so much that it looks forced. Such a strong pairing for teaching. Plus you seem like really cool people. Well, fanboying over!! Thanks for the content, I'm already riding better as a result :)

    Wow you guys! This is the best pumping tutorial video I have seen on CZcams and I have watched a lot. There was so much good stuff in the video I'm going to have to watch at least five more times before I even take it to the trail and then watch a few more times after that. I love pumping on the trail and I'm not bad at pumping but now I know I'm not good at pumping ☺️. I can't wait for the follow-up video on pumping turns!

      Wow, thank you! It was a lot of fun to make this one because pumping is my favorite thing and kind of a specialty haha. Its so fun and helpful to learn how to carry speed through rough sections and over bumps on the trail! Hope this one helps you out! Thanks for watching!

      The video was even better the second time through. I noticed Kyle's heel and toe position. Heels down when pumping the downs and toes down while going up.

  • @simon-marie-claudeauthier-7934

    I used your tips today on a flatish/semi technical/ swervy section and I hand no necessity for pedaling to maintain adequate speed. On my second round, I actually had to brake as I took more speed then I could handle due to the pumping.
    Thanks for the awesome tips and vids!!

    Holy damn, this is the best pump track how-to I’ve seen so far. Love the trail applications. I have a “pump” section on my favorite trail that leads to a nice gap jump. I’ve always taken the B line because I could never get enough speed on the pumps to clear the gap. Can’t wait to try this out next time. Keep up the awesome videos you two 🤙

  • @stuartlawrence4409
    @stuartlawrence4409 Před 3 lety

    Kyle & April, great to see your continued growth and support from the biking community in what your are doing. Have commented in the past and reiterate that the way you are breaking down the skills, showing and comparing body positions, drawing lines, explaining cause/effect, highlighting common mistakes, and watching the progression has been great for myself and to pass on to my son. Watching the 'how to pump' tutorial revealed more key tips, particularly those hips just past the rear axle (more than just legs pumping down!). Look forward to some jump tutorials, and also help with progression handling transition from blue to black (steepness) jumps in the future. Best wishes, Stuart

      Kyle & April - Ride Mtb it’s only because of you guys! There’s another trail, tougher, when weather cools down I’ll do those rollers also. It’s almost all downhill with S turns, rollers, hairpins. Too hot here right now.

    Your videos are god like man. Your clear and very detailed, your teaching opposed to showing people this cool thing you can do and your super encouraging to your gf. The subtitled and audio is also great. Thank you. Apparently I've been pumping wrong all along, I'm BMX now MTB but same concept. I would push down my front end more than rear axle. Also your jumping has videos has helped me try and get more comfortable. I don't have it down yet but, I'm trying. Having difficulty driving my body up. I watch your videos every time before I try though.
