One more tip is that if you aren't clearing jumps, don't just use more speed. Good technique makes up for extra speed when jumping. I took my large 29er dual suspension to a dirt jump park and I was either casing, or accidentally nose-bonking table tops because I was going in with too much speed. I had a hard time figuring out what was wrong, but then I just hit the tables with less speed than I thought I needed and focused on standing up to the jump face and I cleared the whole line with ease!
Well timed video. Went up from 26" 110/130 to 29" 150/160 and the first ride happened yesterday. Jumps feel remarkably different now. I'm over cooking everything.
I'm confused - use the bunny hop technique but says later keep your weight central to stop yourself getting bucked. The bunny hop technique involves aggressively moving your weight to the back? It would be great if GMBN could break down how the jumping bunny hop technique is different from the "on the flat" bunny hop technique 🙏
@@clivejcellis on flat ground you shift back to get the bike up, on a jump the ramp does the lifting. But you need to have the same stand up explosive motion and then follow through.
@@Greg-ht2uv thanks. Yeah I just use my legs to jump atm but im trying to dial Blake's boost technique and get my arms involved. I think he uses a technique similar to the bunnyhop. Pushing down on the handlebars to unweight the front wheel at the top of the lip but rather than shifting his hips back, I think he pivots at the hips as his arms extend. His legs then become fully extended as the back wheel reaches the top of the lip. Not entirely sure though but I think that's what's happening. Will give it a go and hope for the best.
Not sure about the scooping the feet part. Generally if you just lift your legs/ bend the knees the pedals will naturally follow, but as all things go, the only way to do is to do it. You can only learn by doing the thing you wanna learn.
Cheer ms Blake, Next stage of my mtb progression is jumps and the thoughts of what can go wrong can override what can be done but with your usual excellent explanations along with your default enthusiasm, I’m going forward with a plan of those steps to work with 😎
Nice, u said something about the pedals, I found that’s the most important part for beginners especially to learn to be with the bike and use the tires as feet! Cheers
Thanks Blake. Another great video! I think there's still debate on the timing and amount of pre-load (and rebound) of the FRONT fork on steep lippy jumps on a full suspension bike. Is there no fork preload? Some? Lots? When? The video on jumping that I would LOVE to see, but no one has ever made would be to suit up in a full face, and a protector with a nice deep foam pit and have y'all demonstrate getting sent over the bars (safely into the foam pit of course). I've been sent over the bars in two main ways (with no foam pit haha), the first is like you said, putting your weight back and getting catapulted, but the second way I get ejected is when I accidentally let my fork slam or soak up a very lippy jump, and then when the front tire comes off the lip, the fork rebound in the air pulls me forward. It's sort of like preloading too late, or letting the fork suck up the face of the jump. Sorry for the long comment! It would be great to see you guys get bucked forward or dead sailor into a foam pit in slow motion!
Oof, that sounds painfully familiar. I reduced the rebound speed on my fork this year and I'm not getting it as bad now. But rock gardens are harder... so there's that. 😂
What’s not mentioned is the need to ride with people within your skill level. This is a huge oversight for people learning how to jump. Ride with people too skilled and you will crash trying to keep up.
maybe 1 key parameter not covered here ( and it’s the case in 99% of the Jumpping tuto videos): The speed! You could perfectly know what to do “Compress, stand up, look at landing zone etc” if you don’t have proper speed nothing will happen or you won’t be able to clear the jump properly.
I can think of one or two riders with channels on here, who don’t have great technique (particularly the leg extension part of taking off), but gets lots of kudos. Perhaps, they should be directed to this excellent video?
Very interesting episode on learning to send it. One question - what sort of average speed is recommended along with lessons learned here to clear a jump? Excellent video Blake thanks for sharing 😁🤙
I have made a lot of progress on my jumping being 2 seasons into mountain biking I jump decently high, I got a decent position and angle of attack and I land leveled, my only problem is on the jumping distance, I don’t jump long enough and I got trouble clearing table tops, any tips on that?
It sounds backwards but loading the back wheel too much can cause it to buck you. Practice a neutral position on your bike. Everything will come with time and practice! Keep at it 🤘
Like most jumping videos on CZcams, goes too fast through actual jumping footage to learn anything in significance. Might as well be listening to a podcast.
Try practicing bunny hops over a tree limb over and over and then over the lip of a table top, the relaxing is the key or being comfortable airborne and you'll love it. Start small and take your time.
@@saddleweary2777 sadly i already tried many different things to learn it but i just can't It's too difficult. I can't do any tricks at all because I'm that bad.
@@godspeed821 I have a friend that feels the same way, his confidence is very low, finally he went for it and got hurt, don't do that, your confidence will tell you if you need to keep pursuing or not. My friend said he will never leave the ground again and that's the best for him. You know what is best for you but don't let confidence block you. You are right though, it's not for everyone but that doesn't mean you are any less of mtn biker than someone that stays in the air. Snobs think they are but that's bs. My friend is one of the best at speed than I've ever seen anyone. Most of the I'm better than you because I can jump crowd would end up crashing if they were to hang with my friend on a track. Remember that my friend !
i'm not saying i'm good at jumping, but spending a lot of time doing jumps helps the most. the technique is most important, but spending time doing is as important. you lose all technique and confidence if you don't keep practising.
What other skills would you like to learn?
Doing endos around switchbacks
360°
Peddling threw corners, everyone teaches body positions without peddling
How to do the very first jump of the Vlog 😂 thanks heaps for the early morning laugh Blake Love your work

Good bunny-hop takes time. Enjoy it and take your time learning it. It's worth it! 🤘
Thanks Blake, my MTB Hero as always! 🤜🏼🙌🏼

this is a bad guide. you said its a easy and fast technic to learn how to jump, but learning the bunny hop is hard and take years to learn.

Started the video, saw Blake do the little jump spin on the tabletop, paused the video and hit the thumbs up. Haha. Great stuff!
Version 13,829 of this video
I'm thinking I'll finally get wheelies and manuals down after roughly 15,000 videos on each 👍
They always get clicks though lol, lots of new riders every year...
13,829 videos and I still can't jump. Maybe video 13,830 will do it for me? 😂
True, but they are always fun. Especially with Blake!
Good.

I managed to get my front wheel up a few times today. One time i landed wrong and flew off the bike so that was fun.
Straight to my wood ramp😍.
Great job champ..perfect review
Good luck!
Love it bro nice nice ❤❤❤❤❤
Отличное обучающее видео! Спасибо тебе!🤝
Nice remake of a classic ive been forwarding for ages to the kids i coach thanks!
Happy to help!
It’s still too complicated for me. Can’t I just ‘stand up to the jump’?

I cn ride the most technical stuff there is, but jumping a gap or making it over the tavle top is my biggest fear.
Pretty sure we're just supposed to 🎶 Stand. Up. To The Jump. 🎶 Gotta stand up to the jump... 🎶
Heck yes!
What about jumps with a steeper lip?(much steeper than in yor video) Most trails in my area send you higher than long. I struggle with that.
A POV version with commentary will be good

Blake, do bigger jumps need a bigger preload?
Use the same technique on a small jump and get the feel for it, and preload more and more depending on how you feel about it
Speed? What difference does it make? Please!?
Where is this filmed?
I need to work on two things
1) preventing my rear wheel from boosting.
2) overcome my fear of some doubles.
It sounds backwards but loading the back wheel too much can cause it to buck you. Practice a neutral position on your bike. Everything will come with time and practice! Keep at it 🤘

How many videos do you guys think are like this on CZcams? Millions?
Man, British people really love tea.
global or british?
I've watched every version of this skill from gmbn and i still don't know how to jump. I guess It's just not for everyone or i really suck.
Try going faster, with these same tips.
Try practicing bunny hops over a tree limb over and over and then over the lip of a table top, the relaxing is the key or being comfortable airborne and you'll love it. Start small and take your time.

The thing that unlocked jumps for me was Loam Ranger's "Stand up to the jump." Song. I sing it to myself every ride still 😂😂
I can't keep my feet on the pedals 😢
i'm not saying i'm good at jumping, but spending a lot of time doing jumps helps the most. the technique is most important, but spending time doing is as important. you lose all technique and confidence if you don't keep practising.
Great video, as always. But maybe next time, Grab a total novice and teach them from start to finish. Show real progression 🫡. See ya!
Don't get it. You say bring the rear wheel up with the feet, then you say the hips. Don't understand.
helllo

So much more to jumping than this and should not pull on bars there’s no need
