- When you come to a drop that has a gap to clear it’s important to have the right technique and not the wrong one.

Mate you are doing great job! Finally someone who can explain all aspects of the movement in an easy to understand way. Your jumping tutorial made me progressing far more than through all previous year. I am looking forward to improving on jumping drops.
This is the first video I've seen demonstrating/comparing both methods! Nice work!
I need to go back and work on manuals and relearn my drops and jumps. Thank you for the homework!
Thanks sorry for the late reply. We loved making these two videos.
This reminds me to practice, especially after you stick the landing. I wasn't expecting to come up to a 3ft drop to flat. I nailed it perfectly. I should have stopped and kept doing it because I haven't been able to do it again.
These vids never get old.
Edit: If you are looking for a topic, something else that would be helpful is: spotting features on the trail to pump and pop off to maintain speed. Going into a shark-fin turn/ burm and popping off it, to set up for the next set of berms.
If I had the skill set, there's some burms are spaced the right distance if I was going fast enough and could pop off a berm to jump into the next burm...This is one of the things I dream of but can't pop when I'm turning.
So stoked you dropped this right away. Any way you can talk about drops that are angled upwards like those other two behind you?
Plus one to this. Also, If you are making another vid, I’d also add requests for examples of dealing with where people have built little 6 inch kickers at the lip of a drop and also drops with a downhill entrance, which always particularly terrify me!
Another great video, thanks for all the hard work on these, they’re a great help
I started dropping off of loading docks in the early 80s on my BMX bike. I always bunnyhopped off the docks. The landings were usually flat so dropping the rear wheel first was needed. I did find a few areas where there was a drop to downside landing and those were super fun and basically identical to what we mostly have in mountain biking today.
What is interesting is many instructors say not to bunnyhop off the drop. That's total BS and honestly if you don't know how to bunnyhop and also be able to manual the wheelbase of your bike you shouldn't be trying to learn drops at all!
There are prerequisites to doing more advanced stuff and as someone who also teaches skills I insist people learn and get consistent and comfortable with the basics before doing more advanced stuff.
Far too many people get hurt in mountain biking because they "Just Sent It!" without having the basic skills in place to be safe doing so.
Great work! Your vids are really detailed 13:24
