Ahh, the 7 most common jumping mistakes. Be honest with yourself, how many of these are you currently doing?? I see these regularly at every Ride Series MTB Skills Clinic we do and the first step in correcting them is admitting you're an offender. Be sure to hit like and drop a comment down below! Before anyone asks, this Specialized Stumpjumper is a full custom OZ Trails edition that isn't available to the public.
Please consider supporting the Patreon platform. I REALLY dig making this content and the more support we can get, the more rad stuff we can do! Be sure to check out the "FULL SEND" level where you can submit a video for me to analyze and breakdown: / therichdrew
I'd also love to have you follow along on my daily adventures on Instagram. Keep your eyes peeled for random tips. If this platform hits 10K, I'll do a daily tip! www.instagram....
Keep your eyes peeled for a Ride Series Clinic near you OR decide take a trip to Bentonville, Sedona, or Dallas to attend: www.therideser...
Let's break it down! There are many common Jumping mistakes out there in the world and I've decided to focus on the following 7. But before we get into those, here are a few elements we need to get out of the way:
Find the right spot! We're blessed to have an abundance of RAD areas to dial in our jump technique here in the @OzTrailsNWA . It's best to find a jump you're fairly comfortable with, set up the tripod, and film the action.
If you don't have a dropper, GET ONE! If you do have one, GET IT DOWN!! Use that darn thing. Spend some time riding around in front of your house getting used to it.
Mistake 1: Pedalling too deeply into the takeoff. Get your speed early and stop pedalling as soon as you can so you can stabilize your mass. If you are on the downstroke as you come off the face, you risk pedal striking, or worse, loading up one side significantly more than the other.
Mistake 2: Not getting pedals level on the takeoff. You need a firm base to load into the takeoff, you can't do it unless your pedals are level.
Mistake 3: Hips too far back leading up to takeoff. KEEP YOUR HIPS OVER THE BOTTOM BRACKET or close to it at least. Having your weight behind you on the takeoff of a jump is a bad thing man!
Mistake 4: Lifting the bike on the takeoff. Use the takeoff for lift and influence it with how aggressively you load into the takeoff. Many people get into major issues here because they lift harder to one side and then go right into one of the other major issues... rigor mortis!
Mistake 5: Shooting the hips back after the takeoff. Find a popular jump and just sit there and watch, you'll see this happen many times. There's no need to do this, so don't do it. Keep the bike underneath you at all times if you can. If for some reason, you're coming up short, having your hips over the BB will allow you to shoot the bike in front of you if you are coming up short.
Mistake 6: Rigor Mortis. RELAX! Seriously, chill out. Find a smaller jump that you're comfortable on and really focus on staying as relaxed as possible. Think of it this way: You need to be able to use your arms and legs as suspension, you can't do that effectively if you're locked up like Fort Knox.
Mistake 7: Landing rear wheel first. This is certainly a personal preference, but I bring it back to dynamics: Landing front wheel first allows the front fork to start dissipating energy and allowing it to travel THROUGH the bike. Landing both wheels at the same time means you are maximizing the downward force. Landing rear wheel first means you are now INCREASING the velocity of the front wheel. Suspension forks aren't designed to work well in this scenario. How about this, try it and tell me what you think. NOW, the circumstances need to be right. Am I saying I ALWAYS land front wheel first? No, I'm not. However, it's my preference when possible.
There you have it, the 7 jumping mistakes I decided to focus on in this video. What does that mean? Well, it means there are quite a few more and we will tackle those in another video. For now, I really hope some of these ring true and this video helps you hone the technique a little better.
Peace out dumpers!

I was 72 when I first took up mtb and although could ride a bike that is all. Now 77, and over time have been gradual teaching myself jumping, 6 months ago I sent it on the biggest jump with the steepest ramp here and came to as they were loading me into the Ambulance ., survived ok and back riding in 2 weeks. The thing is I have dialed it back but one of the things that happens to me on a good jump is I start to float off my Pedals as if my body is jumping higher than my bike. The other thing is do you jump differently on a steep ramp jump compared to where its just a normal big track jump without the ramp, as this is what I've been doing. We don't have any kind of clinics here in Townsville Queensland, you just have to learn on your own. ps, I've had A Rocky Powerplay for over 2 years.
YOU ARE MY HERO!
Thank you for encouraging us sir. Very awesome. Take good care of yourself.
So if you now let go of the bike, then momentarily pose as superman pancake fashion whilst in the air and then grab the bike back and land perfectly you will have one of the best tricks down. If you don't get back on the bike however I fear the worst and that ambo won't be able to help. Boy and I thought I was too old getting back into mtbing at 53.
Getting back into it after an 11 year hiatus. 60 and ready to go. You’re inspirational.
The amount of times you show a good jump makes this video very helpful
Thank you Lee! Glad you liked it.
This is probably the best tutorial I've seen on jumping, you're an awesome teacher!
Hi Rich .... You are the greatest! I Watched almost every video about jumping but nobody gives the right breakdown to understand how to it .... Thx for all you share.
Wow, thanks Antonello! So glad this breakdown helped you out 👊🏻
Man, you' re going on to have a great ability to teach…….I' m really amazed about how you dig deep into the techniques and explain how to fix it…….thank you, keep on working like this
Max Tube Thanks Max! I’m trying to get as deep as possible, but not lose people. I’m excited for it to keep growing and to reach more people.
@@richdrewtherideseries well done, this is the best way to really make a dent in the brain that is learning something and that is the essential base of performances of the body on the bike
I was doing all five - watched video, got hips over bb, cleared first doubles ever. Thanks
Heck yeah Paul, that’s awesome! Keep it up my man.
Hey, 1990 called and said gimme my Jorts back!
Indeed it did. I was forced to send them back in the Delorean.
Lol was about to comment the same but saw this. Nice video btw.
Your videos keep getting better. You are keeping the message tight and doing good demos right away to drive the message home. Really like it.
Chris Wood Thanks Chris!! I seriously love this type of feedback because it’s exactly what I’m going for. I obviously try to keep it entertaining and fun, but I want to convey the message as concisely as possible. 👊🏻
@@richdrewtherideseries When we teach staying centered on the bike (you show your hand with your thumb sticking up) we will often describe it as being the mast of the ship and it seems like people get it. keep up the great work. I am digging it.
i just bought a Hopper lite ramp I can now go wherever I want to and session all day long without interruptions
thanks for all your content from the UK !!
Rich, i dont agree with your drop technique, but learning to recognize these 7 mistakes really helped me in my training yesterday. Got a new subscriber today.
Jesus Thats awesome Jesus!! The 1,2,3 technique isn’t for everyone, but I’m glad this resonated with you!
This is really good, I agree with all of the points. The 'don't lift the bike' can be broken into two items imo; 1. Don't pull on the bars - this is what can cause the body to extend up and away from the bike, and contribute to hips moving back. 2. Don't bunnyhop - this takes away from the LOADING into the jump and so can lead to feet coming off pedals and the body extending away from the bike. (Easily noticeable if someone points their toes downwards in the air)
The better you get, the more you can reintroduce the above techniques, but they should never be the primary method for jumping, they serve their own purposes, but will throw you off when done incorrectly and result in mistakes if used before you're ready.
Thanks Ben, great input my man!
Hi, I’d just like to say big thanks for putting this video out. It has really really brought my jumping on massively. When I landed a particular way I now realise what I’m doing on the lip that’s causing this or that to happen. I’ve got a touch of all of the common mistakes but I’m managing to improve on them day by day. Thanks again, Tim (from semi lockdown UK 🇬🇧)
Heck yeah Tim!! I love hearing this! It's not rocket science, it's just the basics and sometimes it takes a dude in jorts, with a squeaky unicorn on his bars, to bring some insight. Keep on improving!
This is terrific, Rich. Answered all the questions I had after watching all the other videos on jumping.Thanks for putting this together for us.
Glad you liked it Ron! Planning to do more jump videos very soon!
Rich, your vids are ace mate. Clear and simple without ever glossing over the details. They are really helping me! Two things:
1: Bring your TRS to the UK dammit!
2: Put those denim shorts in the bin dammit! 😉
Keep it up dude.
Ed James Thanks Ed, really appreciate that! I really strive to be concise and informative. I also really dig doing these vids and I think that helps.
1) I would LOVE to bring TRS to the UK!
2) Done!!
What squeaky is that on your bars- I need one
A really good explanation of the mistakes I make. Especially the perfect storm- lifting my bike, lift to one side and then the killer rigor mortis. I'll be looking out for those
Avoid that perfect storm at all costs!!
Precious tips, I am a rookie jumper on an e-bike. Getting used to gravity center control and gain some guts. Thanks mate, great tips
Hey Joao! Glad you're digging the tips! We're actually outlining the e bike specific jump video now, hope to have it up in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
what an incredible location. Lots of places to ride in Oregon but nothing this accessible. great video , thank you
jeremiah sinnott It really is a rad spot Jeremiah! You should come down for a visit soon.
Rich Drew as soon as this 🤬 virus ends . where exactly is the spot ?
Mr. Rigor Mortis impression was awesome!!! But your instruction was even better. Great stuff!
Todd Smith Thanks Todd 👊🏻👊🏻
I went off a jump at the end of last season and landed front wheel first and went over the handlebars. I have no idea why this happened. I also saw this happen with someone else when he was practising going off a drop. I couldn't help explain this either. He said it had something to do with his shocks. We both knew about the neutral hips/body position because we were taught this. It was my understanding that landing on both wheels is ideal. Please elaborate more on the front wheel first landing or create a video on how not to go over the handlebars on drops/jumps. Thanks!
Thanks Rich. Your instruction is solid. Your over exaggeration of the mistakes is also helpful...and entertaining hahah.
SAWEEET jean shorts my dude. Quality content as always. I love how you can purposefully make all 7 mistakes and still roll away without issue. 2 thumbs up!
Just watched this again after the video you made with Sarah and Brian (BKXC). My biggest mistake Drew is coming in as you describe loading the bike up on the face and then pushing the bars down as the front tire leaves the face and then soaking up the jump by bending my knees and crouching down towards the bike before the rear wheel is off the face of the jump. Serious OTB situation ensues.
It’s a common one Donal. We will get you sorted in June 👊🏻
Gotta get one of those unicorns to alert walkers on the trails :)
Groosome128 That Uni is LEGIT!! 🦄
when I first started riding, I legit always had my hips too far back and felt like my bike was going higher and almost leaving my hands. it was a pretty scary feeling but now after watching this I find it much easier when my hips are over the bottom bracket. appreciate Rich
Great video Rich. This really helped and I’m making good progress. One question: where do you look during takeoff and while in the air? I find myself looking straight ahead with my head upright. But in these vids you appear to be looking down, maybe at your landing target? Can you confirm this and do you think it makes a difference? Maybe this is the “8th mistake”?! Thanks from Virginia!
Hey there! Thanks for the feedback! As far as vision, I prefer to eye up my landing. Once I'm confident that everything i've done has set me up for that, I bring my gaze up to get back to what's ahead of me.
@@richdrewtherideseries thanks for the response! Great channel btw. Subbed!
Great vid Drew..Couple things I was doing wrong. Now I will correct them! After, this snow melts!!
Thanks dude!! This dang snow!!
I laughed so hard bc you did all of my progressed /bad habits move over the years. I think I'm too forward, coming into the lip too low, tried to lift bike w arms and butt back w landing. You mentioned it on other video about too forward/low. now It makes sense bc I saw my video. Thanks for doing all sketch positions that we all been through.- Michelle
I’m glad you laughed AND learned Michelle 👊🏻
Thanks for the consistent jumping advice. Hope to employ what I’ve learned soon!
Jared Morgan You’re very welcome Jared! Let me know how it goes!
Rich Drew certainly will, and I’m hoping I run into you on my visit to bentonville at the end of May!
You've just fixed my riding. Tomorrow will be the putting the pieces together day. Thank you
You're so welcome Thomas! I love hearing this type of feedback!
Great stuff as always Rich. It has to be difficult to tell your mind and body to do it the wrong way, when you're so used to doing it the right way! Keep 'em coming dude!
Thanks Chris! It was certainly interesting!
All great tips and love the way you teach them. I'm a newbie so off to check out the rest of your videos! Thanks!
Heck yeah Andy! Let me know what you think of other videos.
HOW?! How did you not crash doing those awful things in the air lol. Excellent follow-up video again Rich. With these 2 vids, maybe I also can throw massive steeze 😂
TrailDad Haha, I’m not sure TrailDad! I got sketchy on a couple that didn’t make it in the video. I think it would’ve been awesome had I crashed on one!
These are definitely the “gateway” to steez. SPOILER ALERT: How to Whip coming next week 😉
thank you so much for this video. was able to use these tips today and the difference was immediate!
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback!
Had a nasty fall the other day - these tips will definitely come handy, next time!
Excellent instruction!
Wow! This is a massiv Video. The best i found all over the web.
Ghostina1 Heck yeah Ghostina1!! I love comments like this.
THE B.E.S.T education video!!! I always appreciate the teacher demo the exact mistake and then the correct way. Visual learning is important to me so I can also see myself when I practice where to improve and how wrong am I in that step.
And I can totally understand and respect how TYRING RD was when making this video................knowing the mistake and have to do it is already very challenging. It is not just body tiring and also throwing himself in the danger that is fully expected........
Thank you.
Next videos:
- How To Whip
- How To Scrub
- How To Table Top
Especially the third one,!
I'm curious to see those tricks explained by you 🙂
Evgeni Krastev You wont have to wait long my man!! Whips next week and scrubs after that!!
@@richdrewtherideseries Great news, can't wait to see!
PS - it will be awesome if you make a video about table top! No one explains how to play with the legs, and what the down half of the body does in general.
Happy trails 🙂
Thanks for the info. May the Force be with you.✨
And also with you ;)
Good stuff! Your how to jump video me helped a ton and now I can clear some gap jumps! Keep up the excellent work sir!
Heck yeah Eskimo! I love hearing that!
Thank you for making the tutorial entertaining and fruitful. Your methods are really on point. And your jumps are steeeeze 🤟🏽
You are very welcome and thank YOU for that kind compliment 👊🏻
I tried my first jump today and the bike landed a little sideways and felt very unstable. Then I found the how to video on jumps and realized I was picking the bike up. I am definitely giving that another go again tomorrow.
Heck yeah! How did it go?
@@richdrewtherideseries Well, I tried loading into the jump, and was more stable but I didn't catch any air, lol. I will keep trying but with more speed. I will practice some small bunny hops first.
Thank God I found this channel thanks Rich for all the lesson😀👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really nice area where you are at. Thanks for the tips they are very helpful. Even for vet riders
You are very welcome!
I'm the squash or hips backwards guy. I'm clearing more than ever before but upon reviewing some recent footage, I've developed this habit primarily on larger jumps. Speed has become my crutch I believe.
Was cool running into you in OZ. Gonna work on my mistakes on some smaller jumps to try and retrain my brain!!
This is way too cool! loved the video! Very specific and informative.
G'day Rich, Love the coaching tips mate. I am new to MTB and find your videos really easy to follow. My riding has improved over the last few months by following your advice. Keep 'em coming.
All good points, thanks! And those trails look sweeeet!
You are very welcome and the trails are AMAZING!
Thanks Rich!!! This really helps me finding the sweet spots! woot woot!
Heck yeah, you are very welcome!
This has to be one of your best vids Rich... Loving the horn brah!
Thanks Storm! It was a fun one to make.
You're a great teacher! Appreciate the vid. Can't wait til I get a MTB hopper to practice these tips!
Solid tips, thx! Does the loading principle vary for a hardtail with BMX flat pedals...?
Hey Zenergy! The principle is very similar, you just don't have the benefit of rear suspension. This means you are much more reliant on loading with your legs and hips, then opening up the hips on the takeoff.
@@richdrewtherideseries Thanks Rich! Returning to dirt jumps after 22 years. Mingya :-D
Now I know my all mistakes jump. Thank you Lodi and gog bless you.
Happy to help
They had just finished building that tabletop when I was there last October and hadn't opened it up yet. I actually think you and I chatted at the top of the hub at Coler.
It's a really rad spot, I hope you can make it back out to give it a rip!
@@richdrewtherideseries Ill be back for sure. Was trying for mid - May but unfortunately the Covid had different travel plans. Shooting for late June now. I love my western NC riding but the stuff y'all have going on there is super cool.
His best video yet! Dang even when he try’s to mess up it looks good.
Thanks Cip!! This one came together well. You all healed up??
Rich Drew yup! Was in hot springs AR last few days trying out the trails. If you haven’t had the chance go try out a trail called “lucky 13”. Would love to see a video on that!
Love the mantra...."Shakira, Shakiraaa!" lol Excelent content dude; thanks!
thanks Carlos! I'm a huge fan of her work! ;)
keep making these videos please they are amazing too look at!!!
My 8 common misfire personal is to spot that landing.🍻
llljakkelll Thanks for the input! We’re hoping to keep it going, just need to keep garnering a larger following.
Spotting the landing can be tough at times. I think that’s another reason it’s important to keep your body neutral over the bike, it allows you a little leeway when landing.
Nice Rich 👏. You demonstrated the mistakes and still land well. Mistake #3 is 👍
Al Al Thanks Al! It got dicey a few times, but I was able to pull it off. Would’ve been hilarious if I’d crashed!
Great vid, I took a lot away from it, especially what I am doing wrong! But good to know I am doing some things right. yes I have watched your How to Jump vid, loved it!
SchwantzKP Great to heat Schwants!! Always good to focus on the positives. Which ones stood out most to you?
@@richdrewtherideseries - Hey Rich, the ones that stood out where pedaling to deep into the jump, I use to lift the bike but stopped that after watching your how to jump vid ;) and probably having my hips to far back at times. Went out for a ride this morning (we are lucky here in Canberra, Australia that we can still get out) and made sure to think about some of your points. Stay safe.
OK, tell me about a combination of #5 - don't put hips back combined with #7 - not back wheel hitting first. I was sessioning Wonderland yesterday and got dialed in to this routine of a good launch then, coming down I'd get my hips over the back wheel to throw the bike forward and push the front wheel down, trying to land both wheels at once. If I'm not over the back wheel I feel in danger of going over the bars. Seems like weight-over-the-back-wheel has always been my safe place go-to position in sand or downhill over rocks. Not good?
Uni for the win!! Very informative and entertaining Rich. Thank you !!
I'm already missing that dang Uni :( Thanks for the feedback, I love hearing it!! This one was really fun to shoot, I'm glad it came across.
Can't argue with the S-Works, but what happened with your Troy?
Thanks for the pointers. Im still hoping on getting to Bentonville sometime. Take care.
Hey MT! The Troy is sitting safely in the garage, just getting on as many bikes as I can my man. Would love to have you here soon!
Hello Mr.Drew, I´m buying my first full suspension mtb in one month, and i am a little confused, I like the look of the 29ers, but I´f got the impression that they are difficult to Jump, wheley and other stuff. But I can see in your videos (GREAT VIDEOS, thank you) that you jump and all that on a 29ers. Would you recommend it for a beginner rider, or is the 27,5 better(easier to learn stuff on)
Hey there Poul! I'd say ride both a 27.5 and a 29r and see which one feels better to you. I like them both and I don't necessarily feel like a 29r is more difficult to jump on. In fact, it's sometimes easier in my opinion.
Rigor Morris is also known as “dead sailor”. Great vid as always Rich!
J. L. haha, definitely “dead sailer!” Thanks J.L.!
I’m a lifelong dead sailor. Starting when I was young. BMX, dirtbike, quad, even MTB. At 44 years old I’m trying to break the habit.
My problem is that I'm fine on jumps I know, the. I hit something bigger than usual and the fear makes me lock up and go "dead sailor" at the worst possible time!
Comical at times but great content. You are the BOSS Rich. PEACE OUT DUMPERS.
Haha, thanks Paul!! I like to show my softer side as much as possible.
Got 4 of my main problems jumping there. Can I f### stop them.
Concentrate, Concentrate, concentrate
Up the take off forget everything.
Hips to far back on take off
Lifting the bike
Shooting the hips back
Then if I do nail it I've concentrated that much I go Rigor martyrs throughout the jump.
Driving myself insane. Haha
Grest video mate.
Takes a lot of talent to skillfully demonstrate bad techniques like that. Thanks for the awesome content.
Hey Rich, I'm a local 35 year old that wants to get into mountain biking. Im athletic, but don't ride much. I wanna learn to hit the trails and learn all the tricks (jumps, wheelies, manuals). If you wanna do a series where you teach someone live, I would love to be your student!
Nice ones Rich, thanks!
Thank you! I was pretty pumped with this one. I think these 7 mistakes really resonate with most people.
Those jorts are rad as hell.
YES!! It was rough in the early comments, but I'm digging the love now!
So helpful info thanks RD!!!!
Jonathan Bautista You know it Jonathan!! So glad it helped. Keep me updated on your progress.
7:50 it's so when we land are feet push into the peddles, and more stable when landing by having a lower mass. and when going down hills its natural to do this, so when seeing a landing my body leans back so i dont go flying over the bars. its not right but its why we do it.
That entry made me laugh. Great video. Very nice bike park.
Thanks Chad!
If you rigor mortiz, you'll end up rigor mortiz😝.
9:38 should be the thumbnail of this video. That was a crazy stunt.
Awesome video. To me, the most common mistake that I do in jumping is speed judgement. Most of the time I come in slow and end up casing jumps (ps. I am a beginner and I can only do small ones right now😝)
Pinoy LowBudget Productions Haha, I agree!
That would’ve been a cool thumbnail indeed.
The speed is hard thing to judge and it can only come with time and repetitions. Keep at it 👊🏻
Mister, you've just earnt yourself a new subscriber.
Heck yeah David!! Thank you!
Landing rear wheel first is one of my challenges. The tips about keeping hips over the bb seem like good ways to combat this. Do you have any other specific tips for landing front wheel/both wheels first?
Hey Rob! It's a difficult thing to rationalize at first, but get's more comfortable over time. Find a spot you are very familiar with and slowly work up to getting comfortable landing both wheels together, then the front just barely first. Let me know how it goes.
Rich Drew cheers. Will do.
How do you combat a relatively high bb on an older hardtail? Like the kind that you feel you ride on top of the bike..
I just rebuilt an 07 Bigfoot with all updated (mostly used) parts and it's bb on that 26er is higher than my new 29er xc hardtail with a couple degrees steeper head angle.
I built my very first 14inch high kicker last week and I'm scared to jump it cuz the chances of me tilting to one side in the air is real. It's a very top heavy ride. And I think it's a small or med frame and I'm 6ft, so that doesn't help..
Would building another kicker that's longer and half that height just to get the hang of launching and landing be the way to go? I feel it's all down to practice and I basically tried jumping in the deep end.
Also, is there another brand out there that makes angled head tube bearings that slacken the bike by a degree or two other than cane creek? I think that would make a world of difference.
Hey there! Sounds like that bike might make it a bit tough. As far as the kicker ramp goes, try building one that doesn't have a very steep transition. It'll end up being a bit taller, but that's ok. As far as the angled cups, I'll see what I can find out.
on the "rigor mortis" it looked like RD bout took the saddle deep on the landing
Rich... number 4 so funny. Did this for a loooong time... actually, Sometimes still do specially when I think i need to push up to clear the gap. It's kinda of a defense feeling which made me broke my colarbone.
Miguel Arcanjo (SAM) Hey there! It’s a hard one to break, but can be a game changer once it happens! Sorry to hear about the collarbone
Very good. Love how you had the skill to do it all wrong and survive!
Those jean shorts look stellar!
You are literally the only one to say that. Everyone has been ripping me apart for them
Rich Drew they’re all haters. “They hate us cuz they ain’t us”
I would love to see a video on drops especially ones that angle down prior to the drop. Thanks!
Question. Breaking. Use front or Back?
Ok I can admit to three! Makes sense and now I need to see if I can clear hammer at silver with out case fest 2020
what brakeset you use on your bike?the lever is look sick 🔥
legend and great energy
Man, thanks Spy Burner! My wifes been saying that I'm a "legend in my own mind" for quite some time now, but I like how you phrase it better ;) Just trying to do what I can to help people gain some confidence, be safer, and have more fun!
Do all these techniques still apply to jumping an E-mtb? only the bike has more weight towards the front with the motor and battery? Be really good if you could make a video on jumping and drop offs on an E-mtb thanks
Its the same just heavier ,,,hence why you need to have correct technique
Stay tuned ;)
Excellent vid my dude 🤘🏽
Thanks Casey! I was happy with how it turned out
Awesome video. Wish I was closer to do a ride series with you.
Good tips....did you get those shorts from Daisy?
Of course ;)
Will the front end of the bike automatically tilt down on its own? Also my back foot sometimes comes off the pedal. Makes me nervous to catch mire air time
I think "don't lift" needs to be accompanied with the advise to allow the bike to come up under the rider after takeoff by keeping arms and legs flexible and relaxed, which are then extended for a controlled landing. This often feels like you're pulling up on the bike for a beginner, but you're really just allowing it to happen by relaxing the arms and legs. I'd probably rather see a beginner pulling a little vs stiff-arming it and dead-sailoring.
David Cahoon Thanks for the input David. I agree with the first part of your statement and I think mistake 6 touches on that. In the text of the video I alluded to this being the “base layer” of mistakes. What you are explaining would come in the next layer in my opinion.
Good video Rich!
Thanks Keith!
Excellent video
Mark CZECHALIEN Thank you Mark!
Always love seeing the local trails in your videos! Too bad this session area is closed right now though.
So I have the tendency to do #7 on lippy takeoffs, but I will most always gently ease the front end down instead of slamming it. Feels good to me and I have good control. But on the other end of the spectrum, when I try to land front wheel first, I almost always slam the back end of my bike down instead of gradually easing it down. Any tips on how I can improve?
Ummm Rich, what Stumpjumper is that!? It looks siiiiiick!
Hey dude! It's a limited edition OZ Trails version. They did three of them and they are RAD!! S Works, AXS build
Damn, that rig is sweeeet! Keep killin it, Rich!
RD great edit watching in Scotland🇬🇧
Kevin Wood Hey Kevin. Thank you so much. Pumped you’re watching in Scotland! How’s the riding there?
@@richdrewtherideseries I live in Edinburgh so 30 mins from the Tweed Valley a real mecca for the mtb scene. It has trail centre's at Glentress and Innerleithen the later having uplift! It gem thou is the natural locally build train system it is just mint.
We are quite rightly in ,lockdown so only localised XC type riding permitted which is fine. Keep the edits coming and I will be sure to watch.
Just heading for a wee whisky the washing my bike. Stay safe 😎
Great video 👍😎
