- I am going to show you the easiest and most consistent method I've found over the years for hitting drops, there are many ways to do drops but this is easiest way to learn in my opinion. In this video I coach my girlfriend through how to drop and she works up to the biggest drop she's ever done!

00:00 Introduction
01:30 3 biggest mistakes
02:50 April's drops before coaching
4:00 Coaching through first drop
05:48 Move over to 3 size progression drops with transition landing
08:22 Will April make the big drop?!
09:20 What did April learn?
10:08 Visual recap of technique - กีฬา
One thing to remember is that there are a ton of different riding styles and variable when it comes to drops, this is the method that has worked best for me and seemed to really click with April but there really isn't a definite one sized fits all approach to every drop. Sometimes the trail forces you to hit it with very little speed and in that case you will need to do more of a "manual" or "huck" off of the end but those are more advanced moves in my opinion. This method works best for drops with a little bit of speed and nice flat or slightly downward takeoff. Hope you guys enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions at all!
I like drops
your drop video is the best for beginners that i've seen.. thanks so much
You might want to "pin" this comment as that was my first question.
Also, any tips for gauging speed without some to tow you in?
Great video!
Question, have you created a video on how to turn corners without really slowing down?
Great explanation! Subscribed!🤙
This honestly was the best explanation on dropping I have ever seen. I started mountain biking at 60 years old and now at 64 I am loving doing drops. I have not graduated to anything like the big one yet but after watching this I can see that it is possible. I have learned a ton from my 12 year old grandson but this video says it all. Thanks for making a ol' Granny's day!
That is so cool! Thank you for the nice comment Brenda :)
Am a spritely 52 and about to buy my first bike - wonderful video and inspiring comment brenda.
i am turning 29 this year and i wondered if i am allready to old to start mountainbiking... well thanks for the motivation lol
I'm 60 and started a year ago. Thanks for the inspiration.
@Vokunos I started snowboarding at 41, I'm 44 and about to pull the trigger on a mtb so I'm not bored in the summer. I am a little concerned my dumb ass is going to send it like I did when I was a teenager and end up with something fractured and a long heal time due to age. But what other options are there? Stay home and read a book? Nah
Feels so good seeing someone treating his partner with that amount of respect and positive energy. I hope you guys are like that off camera as well. Best wishes for the two of you!
Of course he is. You can hear it in dudes voice, he's a gentle person.
👍
*girlfriend.
@@SavageAuditsyeah, that’s a partner
Dude, you are a proper teacher. Absolutely brilliant. I've trained people in motorcycle riding, bicycles, software, photography. Absolutely the correct approach. don't teach if you aren't willing to give them the space and technique to learn at their comfort level. Fantastic to watch.
Thank you so much Adam!!!
Dude - Give her a hug every once in a while. That was a major accomplishment.
I love GMBN, but when it's all pro's doing it, they already have their technique down perfect.
I'd always been trying to bunny hop off drops as well, so having your girlfriend doing it "wrong" at the start makes it so much more relatable to me so I can follow along with her progression
Next video...How to do drops onto flats.
Thats awesome! Thanks Jonathan, its been really fun and we promise to keep them coming :)
I drop flats the same way with drops that has transitions
EX-ACT-LYY! I've watched Gmbn's tutorials on repeat, I tried to go over each and every word to find where I'm going wrong, or is it just me who is doing a unusual mistake that no one has ever?But then I came across these "champions" and BAM! Learned to Wheelie, Drop, Bunny hop..all of it in within a month... Crazy! isn't it? I've been practising Gmbn's way for over a year now and I still couldn't wheelie at all, I tried every other tutorial out there, But you know what? They all said the exact same thing! But then I thought I should enroll for some personal coaching and that's when I met you, you saved me a lot of money!Thank you!, For just existing... Love you guys!
Next time I gotta learn something "Kyle and April"is going in TH-cam's search bar for sure! ♥️✌️👊
@@Nishit.C But why would you need to search for them with the youtube search bar when you're subscribed to them now? Or at least should be subscribed.
@@shawnpitman876 Sometimes when I want a specific tutorial TH-cam won't slap me with that exact video I gotta search for it...
Very well articulated and demonstrated. Probably the best vid on this topic Ive watched yet. Really want to try.
Thanks! I really appreciate that! It was a lot of work to edit it all together in a way that told the story of the technique, there are so many nuisances and nothing substitutes for a 1 on 1 lesson but i am hoping these can be valuable for you guys!
Agreed 👍🏼🤙🏼
Same feeling here. Great tutorial!
Best tutorial i saw :D
Best video I’ve seen so far for these kind of drops ... 👍
I'm an ex triathlete and 30+ years roadie and getting my feet wet in MTB. Really enjoy witnessing the learning process. Almost cheered when April nailed the big drop smoothly!
Thats so awesome! Thanks a ton Paul!
I'm watching this at 10pm and I'm having a hard time not to grab my camera tripod, a portable lamp and my bike and going out to my local trails right now to practice this!
Amazing teaching, and congrats April!
As a woman mtb-er, and an OLD one at that, I really appreciate seeing another woman do things that I would like to learn. I will not being doing those big ones, but I want to do small ones, and this really helped. Thanks!
Thats so cool :) thanks for being a part of our youtube family!
This is awesome to see! Congrats all three of you. Made my day.
Elaine -- I have been enjoying these... I feel Kyle is very respectful to April... but as a male (also OLD one) I wonder if that is true----- is it?
@@titustiger27 IMHO he's somewhat patronizing "I'm proud of you" and she often thanks him. Reversing roles spotlights these things ie: imagine she is teaching him and makes his comments to him.
@@SirCamsmorethanalot I can't say, but I think if she taught him to surf, there is a chance she would do that..
Hey man watched this video and went to my local trail 3 hours after. I have been looking at these two rock drops for over two years. I felt confidant from your video I took my go at both of them and crushed them man. thank you so much for the tips and beautiful description on body position. you rock man.
"Ride off the end" is a really good way of putting it. Mad respect on the progress!
I was proud of her seeing her do it!
Thank you!
I mean. You're like "that was sick", "so proud of you".
That's some true motivation right here. You seem like a really good person ! She's very positive and you're very kind and motivating, that's great to see !
Thanks, i think that positive reinforcement is so key to getting people to fall in love with new hobbys. When you are constantly achieving new goals no matter how big or small it becomes addicting :)
I completely agree with this comment.
Yes, these two are a lot of fun to watch. And learn from! Cute couple.
agree!!
Lmao...
Yeah, almost like a teacher huh.
Anybody else get really proud when she did the big drop. Well done
Thanks :)
Nope.
I don't even know her, why would I be proud of her?
@@dangerous8333 Just dont comment then
Probably my favorite MTB channel. I'm 40 years old and brand new to this sport so I find your instructions very helpful. Thanks so much!
Glad to help! Thanks Clint!
This is the best drop video on TH-cam, hands down. You don't need much, if any, explosive movement on a drop. It's literally just shifting your weight back as your tire begins to go over the edge. There's no "lunging the bike" ahead of yourself either (unless you're going too slow). It's just tighten up your core, get your weight back until your arms almost lockout, and then come back forward in time to match the landing.
This vid shows the correct and the easiest technique for drops.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video!
Brilliant. Been riding 25 years and never hit anything that big. May try somthign a bit bigger, when hospitals freed up!
That would take few months
😂
As a woman mountain biker, I really appreciate videos of women learning skills. They are always much more helpful for me than watching men who have already mastered a skill. You do a great job breaking it down into basic and important key pieces. Thank you, Kyle, and please continue to make videos with April!!
Glad to help! I am so glad you liked it :)
I agree. They do a great job in their videos.
Great job April. Your position on the final drop looked absolutely perfect. I'm sure your example will help many people. Well done. Great coaching Kyle and good editing and flow of video. You guys gained a subscriber. Happy trails.
Thanks so much James! 😊
April you’re my hero!! The way your pony tail flies in the wind as you hit that big jump is epic. Thanks for being willing to be the demonstrator in these videos. As a woman it is so much more inspiring!
Thank you so much Ashley, glad I can help inspire :)
And I also almost yelled when she went off the big jump. I would be too scared; she crushed it!!!
50yo, been riding MTB since the mid 90’s and I honestly learned a lot from this.
Thats so cool to hear!
I've been riding since the mid 70's and still have all the bad habits mentioned... (sore arm landings etc.) Never too old to learn as my cruddy video's show....
Same as I'm 51
@@nickgibbens3082 Same same here.
Me too man, I am 55 and been MTBing since off and on since '87, KW is a good teacher.
Watched a few of your how to videos lately. Love the straightforward approach and the real time results you see with April doing it. Very confidence inspiring
It was 2 years ago but now I'm watching it. Maybe it's because now I'm enjoying the bike. Ms april's really brave
Oh man! My heart was racing the first time April hit that big drop! Amazing. I have probably done something between the small and medium but I always try to bunny hop - old habit. Thanks for the info. You guys are great teachers!
Haha thank you! Yeah i was so nervous for her! Thanks for watching!
Wait this is a drone channel
@@user-dx2kj3oj5r Yeah - but I love mountain biking too! Been doing it since 1989.
Started in 1982! No one knew what a mountain bike was back then. Costs me $950. Still have that same bike, pretty old school now but still good for the street.
@@bretev damn yall old... Im still 14 lol. I love mtb too.
I may have yelled "Yes" very loud when she made the big drop. She's awesome.
Haha i was soooo stoked for her! She was smiling so hard haha
Same
I clapped with joy lol. Kyle is a good teacher.
same
So did I.
I'm getting into MTB and your tutorials a FANTASTIC! You and April are very thorough and give great examples of HOW NOT TO and HOW TO. Keep them coming!
April just FLOWING off the big ramp in 1 day? Inspiration! What a great story. Proud of you.
Thanks so much Tom :)
April is brave, not to much fear for a beginner, well put together
thank you!
SIMP
Cameron Peterson just because someone is nice it doesn’t mean they are a simp
She's braver than 99% of the guys I ride with. And they are all in there 20s & 30s.
Creepy.... Real creepy...
Best drop “how to” I’ve seen yet. Subscribed.
Thats awesome! Thank you!
I kid you not, when April dropped off the highest, I was not breathing!!!! I'm learning a lot from both of you. April has so much more skills than this proud grandfather of 3. Kyle, you've got oodles of patience. I've so enjoyed all your videos so far and I'm about 2-3 months since subbing y'all. And occasionally y'all make my heart skip a beat with some of your drops. Maintain your excellence and peace out.
Hey guys, just wanted to say that I recently discovered your channel and have binged all the tutorials as I prepare for my first enduro race and just need to soak up all the knowledge and inspiration I can. You two seem like a humble and easy going couple, and Kyle is really great at breaking down into steps that seem logic and are easy to follow. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you Ingrid!
You seem like a good coach!
Thank you! I am learning a lot through these videos but just trying to share what i have learned from racing pro for almost 10 years!
You can see Kyle coaching Paul the Punter in his channel too! I remember when I saw him I scremed of excitement lmao
Because the best coach is LOVE :)
I came across this while learning how to change/adjust my brake pads. I NEVER thought I could do drops because even doing the little drops made me feel like I was about to die. Now I know what I was doing wrong and can't wait to get out and try the right way. Thanks for making this video!
Thanks for watching :)
One of the best drop tutorial of all the gazillion YT videos. This helped me fixed my always back wheel landing first
Wow, thanks!
OMG. It’s maybe one of the best MTB Drop video teaching I have seen.
Glad you think so!
i’ve watched so many of these videos and this is the ONLY one that actually helped me... thank you!!
Thanks, You have made something click in my head. I'll try and give this a go tomorrow.
Thats so awesome! I am super glad to hear that, yeah give it a shot but definitely practice the technique on something small first and then have a friend film you in slomo and try to analyze your riding!
I love your videos! You have a great way of explaining things. You are so kind and caring to your girlfriend and your viewers. I hope you get through your health issues quickly and get back to making videos. You have a lot people who are following you and we are listening. Stay strong!
You two are the best instructors ever! Thank you for breaking things down into simple terms.
Best girlfriend ever! I can't get my misses to ride off a curb! Awesome teacher though, proper confidence inspiring.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks!
This comment did make me laugh, my Mrs is scared of even going on a bike so I normally ride alone hence I dont take risks but my daughter at the grand age of 26 has started coming out with me so I'll apply the tips given here. Great advice and immediately I'll stop hopping off the end of drops, thank you Kyle...
Since starting mountain biking this year(2021) I have watched your videos many times, great job, super helpful. Hope you recover fully Kyle.
Thank you Kyle and April. I am 62year old and had just picked up MTB. Your videos are invaluable for me!! Very Clear step by step illustration! My MTB journey couldn't have been safer without these videos! Thank you again!
That is so great to hear! Making it safer and more fun are our goals!
for someone who’s confidence took a beating after a bad crash a few years ago, I took so much out of this. thank you. time to get back on the bike!
Good luck vincent! Thank you so much for watching!
Imagine how much better the world would be if everyone's middle finger had a smiling face on it :)
So true, especially right now!
😂😂
I can't give this enough of a thumbs up. Freaking awesome instruction and demonstration. Thanks Kyle and Great Job April!
Glad you liked it!
Actually went "hell ya!" when she nailed the big one 😂😂
Me too ! She's got guts.
Your GF is a BEAST! This was exactly what I needed to go attack some drops that I have been avoiding for months and months. Thanks so much! #subscribed
Thanks so much for the Sub! Glad you enjoyed!
Just saw you in Rich Drew’s video, I live in KCMO close to bentonville, I’m 53, been riding for approx. 3 yrs. After watching several of your vids, you inspired me to share something I’ve been ashamed of most my life. I also have struggled with depression and anxiety/panic attacks most my life. Unable to take meds due to chronic stomach issues it’s been trial and error, the one thing I discovered recently that reduced my depression significantly was magnesium 64 from rising supplements, one a day. Thanks for the onnit 5htp recommendation, I still have a lot of panic/anxiety and will look into it. Needless to say life’s been a rocky ride so thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, yeah its something i have struggled with my whole life as well and honestly biking , and giving back are the two things that have helped make me feel like life is worth living. I appreciate the honesty in your post and yeah definitely try 5htp or that new mood supplement from @onnit. I take that daily and i notice a huge difference if i skip some days
What video are you on with Rich Drew? He puts out some great stuff too.
Hope you are constantly becoming happier :)
Thanks Kyle and Thanks April! Got into MTB this spring. This video helped me progress so much with my jumping. Did my first jumps last week and today I sent one that’s been looking at me for months. You two are a big part of the success! Thanks!
Great to hear! Thanks so much for watching :)
Doooode. I realized I’ve been popping off drops English bunny hop style, always landing differently. First try after watching your video I smashed my local trail’s biggest drop like butter over and over constantly. Keep up the awesome content!!!
That is so awesome to hear!
Loving the content Kyle! Found you through paul the punter/your manual vid super helpful. Loving the humility man subbed
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate that! I just try to have fun with it!
I feel like I learned a lot. I had resigned myself to believe I was too old to try this "old dog new trick". But I see it can be done with the techniques so well explained here. April way to go!! Subscribed
Mate I'm 54 and love learning new mtb stuff #nevertooold !
@@timrogers1068 Love it man, thanks for the encouragement. I'll try to remember your mantra. Cheers.
I love this video! The dos and don'ts are really helpful and your girlfriend makes it more relatable. She's awesome!
Wow. Great video. I will for sure try this technique over on a couple of my home trails. I've been wanting to do drops like these.
That was one of the most motivational mtb “how to’s” I have ever watched! I have been riding for decades and still find drops over 4 feet daunting. This video is a great help. Thanks 🙏🏻
Glad it helped! Thats so cool that you enjoyed it :) thanks for watching!!
Same here pal but was dropping 4ft today like child’s play. I used to hop a bit and this is much more stable. I’ll try 6 ft next week. We have some hero drops at 16ft. One day!
This was such a good video. I feel like I actually learned how to do this. Can’t wait to try it on some beginner stuff!
I'm so glad!
I've seen a lot of tutorials around but yours is the easiest to understand and lets the viewers know the wrong techniques. Keep up with the quality content.
It put a big smile in my face when she succeeded the big drop. Great job!
I'm kind of jealous on April, she is progressing in almost no time on things that took me months or even years. I just started to get confident on drops last year but did not try anything that big as the biggest. Now I got the tips I need! BTW, the quick progress from small to big is just ...wow...really impressive! Congrats to both of you on that!!
Dont feel too bad, she has so much experience from motocross that transfers over and it gives her a massive advantage. Thank you so much for the nice words though!
Great stuff, Kyle! Your way of explaining how to drop and manual makes it so much easier to understand the technique. And it's very helpful showing the most common errors and how to fix them.
Please make more of those!
Happy to help! thanks for the comment!
Really enjoy your videos. Brings a smile to my face and that goes hand in hand with the new found knowledge. Keep it up!
8:56 , After seeing the smile on her face and the happiness in her eyes, I feel like giving her a tight hug! She makes me smile like crazyyyyy!♥️✌️✌️👊
Really good video. The difference in technique between April’s first runs off the small drop and the big one at the end is incredible, she looks like a complete pro and the landing is lighter from the big drop than it was from the little one!
Definitely need to get out there and practise this as I think I still have a tendency to hop off drops.
thank you!
Dude!! This is one of the best how to videos on drops out there. Nicely detailed and explained well. Thank you 🤙🏽
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Super helpful video. I've always shied away from any jumps and also bunny hop too if I come across one. Take sooo much energy. Great job April and great teaching Kyle
That’s awesome! I’m trying to get more confidence on drop offs and jumps, great video
Nicely done and I like the stepwise approach from ‘how to’ to ‘actually doing it’. Thanks Kyle and April 👍🏽
Glad you liked it!
I've always been scared of drops. I was super stoked to see April's progression and your coaching of her techniques! These videos are super informative and I can't wait to get my bike and try! Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Subscribed!
So glad! Thanks!
Very well done - a great approach to teaching. Simple, to the point. The best I've seen.
As always, awesome period of instructions. I've learned alot of techniques watching you two and I will put it to the test this weekend. Thank you and Keep up the great work!
I need an April in my life
:'(
me too, so that we can go biking together :'(....Kyle sure is a lucky guy!
Get your girls into it. If someone told me I’d be doing stuff like this a couple of years ago I would have laughed. People can be inspired!
Thank you so much April! I mean I know Kyle's tips, support, and leading helped. But watching you practice, improve, and walk through that fear is extremely helpful and inspiring for me! I reeeally want to work on my drops and learn how to do them properly and safely. I know I do the same as April and always hop off of it, then feel like I'm slamming into the ground. Thank you both!!
So glad you found this so helpful Brooke!
Thx for the video. Nice to see things from the start of the learning curve, the analysis, ways to improve, and description of the techniques. Needed. Great to see the transformation as April learns to do drops. Well done!
My favorite moment(s) of the video:
1) The gap jumps with the Mtns in the background. 2) At the end when he jumps up on the bars!
Great video, thanks Crankbrothers, I have your pedals on many of my bikes!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was doing the same thing as April and never sure how I should approach a drop. Thank both you. Improving every ride with all your helpful videos
Thanks Randolf!
Please don't take this badly but her last two drops looked better than yours 😲 sorry bro she's a beast 💯👊
haha no offense taken! she is a bamf haha!
I was looking the same :D
Love these kinds of videos, so detailed and helpful!
Awesome vid! Great teaching! I got stoked watching April own those drops!
This is the 'one' that ive been waiting for. What a perfect video. Thank you both and especially April for being so game to let us see how someone can learn and how proper teaching can make you look so confident and well skilled. Thank you both again. I'm off to practice this and take my son also. :)
Glad you enjoyed it! its was so fun to make! Just make sure to start small and then scale the technique up and have a lot of fun while you do it :)
Now that just makes sense. Love the freeze frames. I think I can do this now and not take the chicken out.
Glad it was helpful!
Dude that was awesome, I raced motocross for years and have no problem jumping 70' triples but jump my mountain bike like a sack of potatoes and land like a brick. This video was very helpful Thx.
Yeah it is crazy how much doesn’t translate over! You might relate to me more then since I also come from a mx background! -April
Very good video. Helpful for beginners like me. Even watching boost my confidence, now that I see what I have to do! Thanks!
I finally had the ah ha moment with my drops today. My feet kept falling off the pedals and back tire landing first. I watch this video again while on the skills course and realized I was not far enough back when shifting back. A few times on the small drops and I started going off the middle drop. Thanks again For these how to videos. Also, I am hitting the jumps on Flow a lot better now from watching your vidz.
Awesome, so glad it clicked for you!!!
Wow! I’ve been coaching for 22 years, and you’re one of the better coaches I’ve seen. So good in fact, that April got you at 9:20; her drop was softer than yours! Great job guys! Lol
Thanks so much!
I stumbled across you guys a few months ago. You are fantastic! Thanks to April for being willing to put it all out there. Thanks Kyle for being so patient! If I were that relaxed maybe my wife would still be biking with me. I’ve learned more patience as I’ve gotten older. You are lucky to have each other.
Thank you Kurt! It is a skill to be on both sides of learning and teaching 😊
Great tutorial. You explained it very well and the visuals made it make so much sense. Kudos to April for being such a quick learner.
Glad it was helpful!
That was sooooo good!!! Love seeing the helpful tips, positive feedback and super impressive progression!!!! Great job to both of you!!! Now to see if I can get better on drops...2.5-3' is my limit, its my weakness and pretty sure I'm doing things wrong. Ha. Cheers!!!!
Thanks so much!!
She has the right attitude! And you’re a great teacher. Well done.
Thank you! 😊
First of all, great coaching and awesome job April! I'm a beginner rider and I found this video very helpful because of how you break down the process and techniques. Can't wait to try it out this weekend. 🤙
watched 1 video, subscribed and am in love with this. So technical, great explanations, this is what you were meant to do in life.
Holy crap she learned so fast why can't I learn that fast??? 😣😣
It's all about commitment, if your learning curve is slow then you're afraid of fully sending it
Ikr she stomped that 🤪🤯😱
Plot twist: she was faking it and knew how to drop the whole time... 😂
She's a pro moto x rider. Lots of cross over between the 2 sports and the huge sends on a moto make this stuff seem like child's play. She's gotta be pretty dang gutsy to have made it in the pro moto scene.
Im so much more motivated to do drops now. I can still count with my fingers how many dh biking I have done so far and friends have usually taken me to black or blue runs. 🙄 so everything is self taught and still learning as i go along. 😂
Keep at it. You'll get it dialed in!
agree!!
Wow!!! YOU ROCK APRIL!!! Way to go! So great to have a good and patient teacher! I have been riding about 5 years but primarily solo and self taught. As a result, you are a far better rider than I am. I’m 52 so I don’t bounce as well as I used to haha but I would love to learn to be a better rider than I am now so I appreciate ALL your videos. Keep them coming and I’ll keep watching you two! Thank-you so much to you both!
Thank you so much John, it is really helpful to have Kyle throughout my whole journey!!!
Loving your vids guys! I could've used these tips a few months ago when i went down hard off a drop... Baby steps will be implemented when i get back on the trails :D Sending you healing vibes and a salute for standing up for humanity 💚
Nice job, April!!...I learned a ton from watching this.
I'm so glad! Thanks!
my heart was literally racing when I saw her go for the big drop !! that is awesome ! hope to have the courage to do that some day !
Thanks Carla!
Great Video!!! Excellent step by step info. Stoked to go out and conquer new trails!!
Glad it was helpful!
Really cool to see you two work on that together. Great teaching and excellent job, April! You two make a great team :)
Thank you so much!
