      @nickster0290 Před 2 lety +11

      Yea exactly, GMBN always say stuff like you have to learn a bunny hop and you have to use that in a jump, they say always the same, pinkbike is more detailled in there video’s👌

      @lonelymtbrider3369 Před 2 lety +10

      ​@@nickster0290 Yes, and they often say you should "use your hips" somehow to get more height, etc, but that doesn't make any sense without explaining what to do with the hips and why. Well, in comes Ben and lays it out, makes almost every aspect of it completely clear. What a boss.

    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!

      Popping riding the back wheel- lean back made so much sense
      I’ve been riding dirt jumps and pump tracks indoors in Toronto and figuring out how to get lift instead of absorbing is hard and following some other CZcams’s vid that say stand up and seem to tell you to pull up the bars just rotates you into a nose wheelie on a transition which is cool but not good when not confident!
      Ben explains the physics and what is going on with the bike and your body input!
      Thanks Ben! He explains things in a way someone learning can understand easily!

    @jonasdodd Před 2 lety +26

    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!

  • @goldrush7811
    @goldrush7811 Před 2 lety +27

    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.
