    It seems to me that the key to getting air is to immediately get your body up and forward right after you do the down and back motion. If you “hang out” too long when going back, almost like a manual, you won’t get air, because there’s a very small window where you need to get your body moving up and forward. Correct?

    • @slantedground
      @slantedground 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you stall in the process, you'll reduce the power and efficiency similar to stalling on your swing when swinging a baseball bat or if you are jumping straight up with your feet, squatting, stalling, and then jumping. I can still pop out of a manual and even a wheelie, but I get far less height than I do when I do the bunny hop all in one motion. Thanks for checking out the vid and the comment. Appreciate it.

    • @slantedground
      @slantedground 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You really need to lock in the idea of going down and back before you pop. When riding a trail, it's easy to revert to what we know is safe because comfort feels good. I'd suggest constant practice anywhere and everywhere to lock in the motions. To clean the slate mentally, ride trails you know and look for places to use the bunny hop. Having that "mission" will keep you from reverting to your old ways. I have a video titled "A fun, easy, and safe method to build essential bike jumping skills" that might help. Thanks for watching!

    • @slantedground
      @slantedground 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Scooping the pedals is a common misconception. That and riders who ride clipless pedals relying on being clipped in to lift up with their feet. I think you'll find that with the proper technique, arcing up and over things is way easier than the two wheel trial hop. Thanks for the support!

    I would love to see someone teaching this break down April ride mtb how to jump video. They seem to jump with just legs and seem to boost pretty easy. Just curious what your thoughts would be on the difference of what you teach and them. I’ve seen loam ranger stand up to the jump and that just looks different then what April teaches, he definitely looks sketchy

    • @slantedground
      @slantedground 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I can't speak directly to what April teaches only because I've never seen the videos. I will say that the techniques and tips I preach reduces the need to rely on speed to clear gaps. Having proper technique without the reliance on an overabundance of speed, in my mind, is the best technique for jumping. As far as "stand up to the jump", it's a great mental trick to position the body correctly and better eliminate the possibility of getting bucked. However, without a physical "pop", you are relying on the transition to define your arc rather than your mass. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.
