    I’m 52 in a few months time, I’m an ex late 70’s / 80’s Bmx rider and love big jumps, it’s hard to explain and instruct someone how to jump after so many years doing it naturally, I discovered this channel and immediately subscribed, the instructions that Rich explains are pure gold, I love each instructional video and look forwards to each new theme - well done Rich !! 👍🏻

    I've got to thank you Rich, discovered your channel about four weeks ago, purchased a hardtail for my girlfriend last summer after riding around in Whistler for a day. She loved biking and had never done it before, I know starting to ride at the age of 40 is random but she really does enjoy it. You break everything down so well that's over the last three weeks she has really progressed, so much in fact that she just goes out and hits trails all by herself now! Thanks for your videos and keep er up my man! Greatly appreciated! Only problem is I feel a new bike for her if she keeps riding like she is! :)

      WOW, so awesome! I seriously love hearing this. I know how much my wife loves riding and it's super cool to share it with your significant other. So cool that she has the confidence to go out and hit trails by herself now! I can certainly tell you that my wife's riding game stepped WAY up when I bought her a proper bike.

    @pbillings808 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    8:00 He retreats to the back seat to counteract the forward rotation imparted by being too forward on takeoff. Drive the heels even harder, pushing the bike slightly forward before takeoff which will result in a push that is exactly in line with the acceleration of gravity PLUS the ramp. Staying vertically over the BB means the push from the ramp -- perpendicular to the slope at the lip -- will be BEHIND the center of mass (pretty close to hips). Any force not directed through the center of mass causes rotation.

    14.28 This is my issue. I tend to be forward and as soon as my front wheel comes off the lip it starts to go forward. I learned this racing BMX so I could go far and low (fasted way to jump) but now I am trying to go higher and I struggle to overcome this old habit!
    I am definitely getting better and on mellow jumps like this I have in nailed. It's the steeper lips where I struggle the most.

    • @richdrewtherideseries

      I've found 2 things, 1. Find a table you haven't done before and hit it first time like it's a gap jump, don't give yourself the opportunity to just half- commit and land on top, try to clear it the first time you jump it
      2. Choose a point of commitment on the trail and when you reach that point commit to the feature, then you can focus on the task ahead and won't be worrying about if you're gonna do the gap or not

    @abekearl2831 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have really enjoyed your videos. I have ridden for years and I am pretty comfortable on most jumps with shallow to medium lips. I watched the steep lip video and would say that looks like my limit. Any steeper and especially when more abrupt like a dirt jump park, and I seem to fall apart. I definitely suffer from some of the 7 bad habits sometimes. I feel like the more I try to pop, the more I just go up and not forward. I can go in with 25% more speed than “teenagers” and they clear it perfect and I straddle the back of the landing. This type of steep jump is usually built as a double so hard to find safe ones to practice on. I guess I need to be convinced to drive my heels through the bottom bracket and keep weight over the BB on such steep lips like approaching 60 degrees. I have talked to guys doing it and they feel like they pop vertically, not against the angle of the take off. I would love to see this covered in an in depth video and even more side shots in slow motion, pausing to explain the movement of the head and hips, and forces on the feet and hands.
    I also have a son who can hit steeper stuff than me and I really want him to learn how to properly transition to expert and pro lines, because he is going there, hopefully with some good techniques. I think you are the one to do it.

  • @jcam4071
    @jcam4071 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great vids Rich but I have a question: In my country we learn to have a good attack position on the bike for jumps which is achieved by synchronizing the body´s center of gravity (two fingers beneath the belly button) with the Bottom bracket (center of gravity of the bike). Locating your hips over the bottom bracket, as you recommend constantly in your vids, you are effectively putting your body´s center of gravity much forward than recommended. Isn´t that dangerous???.

    Timely video. Just got a new hard tail with some crazy geometry. Love the bike, but sometimes it feels like the back end is heavy and my feet come off the pedals. Guessing that since the front lifts easier, I'm getting too far back on the lip when I don't really need to.

    • @richdrewtherideseries
      @richdrewtherideseries  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey there! It could be a timing issue. If you are opening up too early, your feet might come off the pedals. Think about dribbling a basketball and letting it come up as high as possible while your hand stays on top of it. Let me know if that helps.

      Hey Billy Ray! Come in with your feet level and hips over the bottom bracket, that'll go a long way in helping you not get bucked. I think it's easier to get bucked on a full suspension since you bring the rebound in to play.

    What are some examples of riding techniques that are different between hardtails and full squish bikes? Drops, maybe?

    Awesome tips as always, I'm learning a lot. I have been practicing jumps and I'm comfortable with them but how can I get height. I want to learn to get maximum height out of the jump.

      Hey Raymond! Great to hear you're getting more confident. Getting lift is a product of getting deep into that athletic position coming into the takeoff, opening up your hips in time with the bike coming off the lip, and keeping your heels driving through until the rear wheel comes off the lip. Keep working at it, you'll get it!

    Was Cease and Desist named after the trail on the North Shore that was shut down because officials thought it was to dangerous?

      Great question! I'll have to check to see if I can get an answer for that one.

    Hi Rich, after I watched this video, I recorded my jumps. I'm on my early 40's and I wanted to learn hitting small jumps. Can I send you my jump clip and ask for some advice, big thanks!

    Rich would you cover tire pressure when doing jumps like this? Especially tubeless and maybe someone 200+ :)

    Rich, loving your videos but have an observationL The low athletic position to opening up or standing up is a very similar movement to a deadlift. Would you agree? and would working on deadlifts for explosiveness help with generating lift or boost?

      i got one a few months back and really like it for a hard tail. main thing is i had to get new brakes on the back. i bomb a lot of hills and could keep the tektro brakes working well. i upgraded to shimano and love it. i would recommend getting a higher build kit if they offer one. i also wouldn't mind a better rear hub that would allow quicker engagement for partial peddling.

    Actually I would really like to see one on jumping a downhill bike. This one seems like it requires more loading on the fork and shifting to the rear to load the rear when the time is right. Am I overthinking it?
