    Jumping in xc bikes is the best. I ride a trek supercaliber and it is so much fun to jump. It feels so good in the drops on my local trails.

    Jumping is one of those things I try to progress for a month and year and then put it way for next year. Those hopper ramps look much nicer than the couple of house bricks and a plank wood ramps I used to make. They also look super helpful for getting over the gap jump fear

    • @WalmartBrandClothingItems

      i looked them up and they are REALLY expensive for what they are. $250 for the little one

  • @GaedeRafael
    @GaedeRafael 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's interesting to notice their difference in position through the take off! Neil extends his body much more, which leads to more height and also a better arc in the air. I think that the body position in the takeoff is one of the most important components of the jumping skill, but it is often over looked...

  • @Tefloncoated
    @Tefloncoated 2 ปีที่แล้ว +53

    I would be interested to know if anyone other than TH-cam guys actually buy these ramps?

    • @jakobmanton6889

      ive seen a couple around the streets and they are very good, quite expensive tho but they will last for ever

    • @scriptosaurusrex
      @scriptosaurusrex 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Well, that's what they pay youtube guys for. Sell a ramp!
      I looked at this and thought, they are cool. Should be what, £50-100? Depending on size.
      Nah, cheapest, smallest one they make is £170.
      Hard nope.

    • @jpg6482

      Am tempted as a mid 30s guy learning jumps - maybe safer as I don’t bounce as well as I used too!

    • @AdamAllaker
      @AdamAllaker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Would love to buy those ramps but they're so expensive. Moving some logs and dirt around in your local woodland (responsibly) to make your own jumps = free.

    • @SteveTheDiva
      @SteveTheDiva 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've got them all and, lemme tell ya, even the Coach ramp can give you that thrill of having escaped a near death experience. Just ordered the Pad the moment I saw this vid.

  • @klezmorim1980
    @klezmorim1980 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really great video Neil. I saw the MTB hopped LIL Air and its new landing pad the other week and was very tempted to get it, but no content on TH-cam on it yet. I think this one has pushed me over the edge to make a decision.

    • @gmbn
      @gmbn  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much for the support, Eurig! That's great you're thinking about getting the Lil Air! It'll be good fun to use when you aren't close to any trails! 👍

    the first actual jump i ever hit (i dont count bunny-hopping rollers) was a massive tabletop, and it was incredible.

  • @chrisridesbicycles
    @chrisridesbicycles 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I‘m pretty comfortable on table tops in the bike park, even bigger ones but the fly offs that people build on the local trails that are shorter than my bike and have no curve still scare me. How do I jump on them without going OTB. Can you make a video about that?

    • @pennywood5653
      @pennywood5653 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's a quitr few How to Jump videos by GMBN. Search on their video list.

    • @GaedeRafael
      @GaedeRafael 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Search for the channels "Fluidride" or "Joy of bikes". They're much more informative in terms of technique than GMBN, which I think are pretty superficial.

    It went together easily in less than an hour. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.

      @yengsabio5315 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In my view, it's a question of utility. I don't see XC bikes pointless if they are used purposefully. In my case, my XC hardtail is very much suited to the riding conditions here at my end which have lots of ascents. It is a versatile ride for errands (as mine is fitted with rear load rack), for going to school, for travelling longer distances (i.e., bike packing).

    • @Andi-fh5lh
      @Andi-fh5lh 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just you, I don't want to be spending a fortune on bikes that will make the trails feel too easy. Xc hardtails are also way lighter compared to a budget trail bike that might have entry level components.

    • @AdamAllaker
      @AdamAllaker 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Andi-fh5lh no I mean a really capable trail hardtail that you can ride everywhere. Something like a nukeproof scout or a Whyte 905.

    • @jwbraughton
      @jwbraughton 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      "Trail HT" hahaha...... Just you.. I find it funny how all the different terms of riding mostly all started at XC riding. DH popped up and it was that and XC. Bike manufacturers saw the opportunity to sell more products (bikes, gear and components) and ran with it. "You need this type of bike and that". And the consumer base have all gotten behind the type of riding THEY enjoy and don't understand what OTHERs enjoy.
      I stopped riding/racing 10yrs ago and just built a new bike to start again (this Is going to be painful lol). I researched what has changed and what "new" bikes are out. I don't need a big travel bike or trail bike, not for where I plan to ride. I've ridden my HT a couple times while I'm building my new bike and seen these big travel bikes on the trails. Just seems like a waste to me. But who am I to judge. If that's what they feel they need, more power to them. I live and ride in the Mid-Atlantic and most of the trails are a XC racers wet dream, hard pack, technical, technical climbs and fast technical descents. I remember going on group rides and the dudes on the "big" bikes would get dropped on our 20 mile weekly ride. And I'm sure I'd be dropped at the bike park.
