@@willber318 Same here! These guys really show and explain what you need to know. And they explain the physics aspects behind all that in a way everyone can understand. Reall good!👌🏻
@@willber318 can confirm. not enough people talk about this. I have 20 yrs of bmx experience, bought a 180mm enduro recently, and i never would've suspected that i needed to preload my suspension. First day of riding i followed my friends into 3 tables at high speed, made it through beautifully, even landing a touch farther on the 2nd to superboost the 3rd. So glad i read about that before i got the bike.
Thank you for finally clearing up whether you should compress the front fork with your hands. It totally makes sense, that if done properly with knees over toes, compressing the pedals will also compress the front.
YES! Exactly what I needed! Had my biggest crash this year hitting a steep jump and letting my fear “squash” the jump shifting my weight back and getting “bucked” off. This helped me understand what I did wrong and what I need to do next time. Thank you!
Searched and searched for how to jump videos but most are very vauge on the actual technique required , This is the most clear explanation by far! +1 subscriber !
Yep absolutely. This vid clearly concisely covers all the key points better than any other single vid I’ve watched on the subject. Kudos to the instructor, student and camera work.
Good coaching! This was a super helpful breakdown for an older novice rider looking to add jumping into the repetoire. As others have said the explanation of why people go over the bars was super helpful. I think I can hold the idea of weight forward knees over toes and press into the jump.
Keep your body perpendicular to sea level and knees over toes is such a big revelation. It finally makes sense to me know. Hopefuly this will reduce amout of crashes on a big jumps 😅. Awesome video😁
the whole vibe of this video is weird and strange but so damn helpful, clear and informative. After a bazillion contradictory videos about jumping, out of now where, David Spade and some girl with a full face, made everything make sense...
Well, I think Jason would be the first to admit he's not traditional. One hell of a coach though, and an amazing jumper. I'm happy to know it was helpful! -Simon

Thanks so much! I've watched countless videos of the type "do a bunny hop on the way up", which I just wasn't skilled enough to put into practice, and that only got me close to dead sailoring. But after carefully watching this lesson, I think I got it, and after putting in practice the instructions I feel today I had a small breakthrough in my jumps. Again, thank you!!
Wow ,watch till the end and see the " super boost " same speed but man did he "BOOST " . Good job coach and I wish I was riding with you guys ,I could learn alot from both of you ! Thanks for taking the time time to make and post these videos .
huge value for everybody trying to understand fundamentals of whole trying to jump "thing",. For me is very hard to go through mental part of jumping and stop to fear of what´s comming, but what helps me is to build it step by step, again and again on the same jump and scale it up when I feel that I start to enjoy it and not to fear about jump it self anymore. I am still in begging but contend like that, really helps me to understand key part and try it on the trail.
Yes, having something to anchor on that is not fear based is hugely helpful. I'm not a natural jumper, so I rely on these techniques to keep me out of my head, especially when I'm feeling intimidated. -Simon
Thanks! Great instruction. I fell trying to do jumps today for the first time so I came here. Luckily I recorded myself and was able to compare with this video. I was decompressing as the front wheel left the lip instead of the back wheel. T
Great video. I was in complete agreement when Linnea said “that makes so much sense.” Your explanation helped tie together why it’s so important and the cause and effect of not staying over the pedals. It helped me visualize the physics. I do have a question as to what it means to “hold the compression.” Step one you’re driving knees forward keeping them above pedals. Step two your body and legs straightens staying perpendicular to sea level. Step 3 - Does holding the compression mean not bending your knees (not absorbing or squashing the jump)? The three of you really do a great job. Thanks.
Think of it like pressing you bike into the face of the jump. Holding your compression simply means keeping that firm pressure all the way off the lip rather than soaking and squatting last second. When done right you will feel completely balanced and relaxed while in the air freeing you to add style and even tricks.
For me as a beginner it was a revelation at black diamond park with that one progressive atm line that the steep lips are actually the easy ones. I certainly let just physics work at such lips and just dont f around with changing position . My biggest problem was always that i contracted on fast steeper ju,ps. I think top poppin tops at raging is a good training ground since you can approach this small tables very fast if you want
Exactly the video that I needed to work on my jumping. Kudos for the crystal clear explanation and coaching. Great progression from her in such a small time frame. Thanks for this awesome video!
That was AWESOME. Jumps scare me…I’ve always had this morbid fear of being launched into space but watching videos like this help me see that gravity is really pretty consistent lol and helps the bike come back down in the order in which it’s launched. I’ve got to practice!
Damn, that part about keeping knees and toes aligned, and why... explains a lot, and has probably saved me in advance from likelihood of jump OTBs (long-time roadie converted to MTB this year). Awesome tip!
This channel does very well at clearly delivering simple points. I agree that a lot of other videoes talk about compressing and then moving back to bunny hop from the lip. Just getting the simple version down is really valuable.
Awesome. I swear so many people get this wrong including me. Speed and clearing jumps can give you a 'false' impression of your jumping ability. I'm sure somewhere in this technique lies the reason I can't boost height on jumps. Nice reinforcement of why video of your efforts are so important as well
You are probably not fully committing to pumping through the face of the jump. @6:13 you can see how his legs are almost completely locked out as the rear tire leaves the lip of the jump. That is where his boost is coming from. Once your front wheel leaves the lip, you should be pulling the bars into your hips like a bunny hop/jhop. That will help pull your front end up into a steeper arc.
Awesome video. Good job on improving your jumps so quickly. After watching it, I think I would mention one more take away, in addition to the 3 you gave. And that's not absorbing your momentum with your legs by bending your knees at the instant your back wheel gets air born, which I would mention, you also improved on in the video. Thanks again and keep 'em coming!
I can’t thank you enough for your simple to Understand instructions, all your videos are incredible and the tip of knees over toes as I approach a jump has massively improved my technique and helped avoid dead sailors along with conquering the mental block of progressing to doubles. Thank you🤟🏽
Super clean and clear! Also thanks for finally dropping “preloading” and switching to “compressing”. The former could be understood as “before loading” meaning “unweighting”, opposite of your intention.
Thank you for the detailed videos. Been using them to get my confidence back after a 5 year layoff due an accident where I separated my shoulder hitting a jump that i came up short on. 😂 it sucked but after watching and applying your lessons to my practice sessions im getting my aggressive nature back and attacking a trail instead of just riding it.
This is a great explanation. On a DJ, I can complete jumps safely and correctly using the bunnyhop/penciling technique, but different people giving me instruction that conflicts lately (saying it’s all in your arm pump VS leaning back) has been frustrating and unhelpful. Neither focus works correctly or effectively. So, I’m excited to try this focus of knees over toes while utilizing my arms to create pressure and get my weight back-with the goal of boosting the jump. Probably easier said than done, but I’m feeling pretty good about it.
Just bought myself a nice $220.00 mountain bike at walmart. It's a little more money than I wanted to spend but needed a shredder bike. It's my first suspension bike. Cant wait to start sending monster jumps like these. Thanks for the video bud!
Really good tips here. The most helpful to me was "body should stay perpendicular to sea level." I find it slightly tougher on jumps that have a downhill approach. I need to transition from being more rearward on my bike on the downhill approach to getting centered on it just before the launch and then pushing straight up, which basically places you "forward" relative to the bike as it rides up the face of the launch. I think the "body perpendicular to sea level" tip is a way of thinking of where your weight should be rather than thinking how the bike is positioned relative to your body in these three different down hill, level and uphill scenarios.
Great video and very good and simple tutorial on jumping technique! 5 weeks into a broken collarbone injury and still have some time ahead of me but looking forward to climbing back on the saddle. Keep up the good work
Watching this makes me miss Washington so much. I lived there for 5 years and Duthie was one of my main spots. I saw you guys out there all the time and now I regret never signing up for a course.
I hope you have the chance to return and hop on a bike!! It's only getting better here, and so many new trails popping up all over. Tiger and 27 have really taken off!
3:40 good to see at least a few other riders try to get this info out there. too many give the generally terrible advice of "lean back to get your front wheel higher" which, as you say, is likely to do the opposite as seen in PB Friday Fails videos. I've been saying it for years and commenting such under said videos since at least early 2020.
This was a great video! Would love a part two. maybe tips on how to get the timing right. many people move their bars around in the air, i heard its good for timing, but how do you get to that motion?? Thanks!
Bar movement in the air is all about not using the arms to jump. Jumping should be done from the legs, which will leave the arms - and entire upper body relaxed in the air. This is how riders are able to create style. Hope this helps! -Simon
Great video as always. Love to see the progression. I squash the bigger jumps but it is easy to see how knees over the toes make it safer than having the hips back. Thank you.
Sometimes you have to squash jumps of you are going to fast for the size of the gap. If your speed is right then getting that nice pop feels so much better and controlled.
@@Fluidride It went well. I think I need more practice to turn this process in muscle memory so I don’t have to think about how to each time I go off on a ramp. Also need to built more confidence because the higher I go, feel like I’m going crash coming down.

Thanks Chase, it's a labor of love for sure. Thanks for subscribing to our online school as well! We are hard at work to make all our content even more complimentary. Stay tuned!
Yeah, best way to jump well is to stand up (or stay perpendicular to sea level). The sea level and not the ground you are on is the key to standing up on a jump. -Simon
04:05 - Now I know why I OTBed on my last big jump... XD thanks guys & keep up the great vids. I can't believe that it wasn't that long ago that @linnearooke broke her collar bone!
i find it kinda interesting how coaches explanations of techniques like jumping differ. I've done a few sessions and was told to extent out and forward above the bike after compressing into the lip, whereas y'all teach to 'stay perpendicular and let the handlebars come up' which looks exactly the same but is worded wayy differently. kinda cool!
Loved watching the learning curve and progression and really good instruction ! Really super channel here for those of us starting to learn more skills to mix it up from regular trail riding.
as always, such a great and crystal clear explanation! I have a more basic jump related question: when do you initiate the compression, I kind of do it by instinct but it would be so good to put words to it...thanks :)
Wow. Jason broke down the cause of the jump OTB in a way that it's finally crystal clear to me.
This is by far the best explanation I’ve ever heard. It’s literally what no one has ever told me.

What was the second trail they were on after Luna air-zone 5:03
Flying Squirrel.
Very good video, cheers from a french mtb instructor👍👍
as always, such a great and crystal clear explanation! I have a more basic jump related question: when do you initiate the compression, I kind of do it by instinct but it would be so good to put words to it...thanks :)
AS the front wheel is moving into the ramp of the jump, so about 1-2 feet before the ground starts going up. I hope this makes sense. -Simon
