TrailDad that will depend on the jump, but most of the the time me i pump and try to stay in the middle so i could adjust to what the landing requires, coz if you way to far back there nothing really room to move you weight.
Looks like a lot of fun! I'm working up to bigger features and building confidence as well and every jump is a little different and that'll determine the best way to hit it. Generally if the launch is a straight ramp with no lip to "kick" you, you can usually roll off with a little speed while maintaining a neutral position and be fine. If there is a "kick" at the end, the ramp curves upwards, it'll launch you into more of an arc - this is where you'll need to be able to adjust your body position in the air for the landing so you'll definitely want to lean back a little when leaving the lip but level out in the air by pushing the bike away from you. Pumping the bike into jumps in general will get you a lot more air. There's a good amount of nuance and it all comes down to muscle memory and practice!
Hey Neil... Greg here, met you today in the parking lot of Lime Ridge. Hope you had a good fun ride today. It was cool to meet you in person. Keep shredding man!
@@Eridebrodad awesome man, thank you!!! Yeah bro for sure, would be great to ride with you man! We definitely have to plan one. We'll be in touch for sure!
@@Eridebrodad I was able to get a bit of our conversation on camera. Right before my gopro sim card filled up and stopped recording. Hahaha th-cam.com/video/H5vAcXEgJvY/w-d-xo.html
@@taylorbrost I run tubeless... One thing I forgot to mention is I'm a beginner/intermediate rider. But a friend who I consider as an expert rider got a flat on his only time there. But so far, I haven't had a flat since... so progress I guess.
@@taylorbrost Yeah I guess it's just a matter of picking the right lines. I had a Stache with 3.0 Bontrager tires and that too got a flat. I love monster trucking rocks but I gotta avoid sharp rocks at not-so-slow speeds. I'm learning :)
if you use trail forks, most features are in the quarry trail. That jump in the middle of the trail was unfortunately taken down. let me know when you ride, message me in fb
I was going to subscribe but I didn't like the way you came up on the hikers. Please, slow and ask them when it is safe for them for you to pass. We all need to enjoy the trails.
Do you bunny hop off a jump? lean back? weight stays middle? Let me know in the comments to help me improve 👇🏽

Ganda jan sir.
California bro, near San Francisco Bay Area
TrailDad malapit lng din pla. Bay Area din kmi kaso Hndi pa kmi nkapunta Jan. 👍👍👍
Nice, Thanks for the video, looking forward to checking this place out!
thanks! im sure you're gonna have fun. the dirt is like clay after rain though so wait one or two days after rainy day
Can I know we're exact that flow in line bridge is in?
I rode those hills in high school on bmx bikes. You had the Lime Ridge dirt jumps, and then the Mach 1 mtb trails.
Yeah I heard that the place was built by bmx riders. Kinda sad how they're closing a lot of the trails recently
When I first moved to Clayton, nobody rode Lime Ridge. Surprised to see so many videos of the place.
probably coz of the lockdown and the trails being perfect for beginners looking to improve their skills. the flowy trails here are so nice
Where is Lime Ridge?
Concord, CA
Looks like nice weather . . . must be nice. Winter has been brutal here in Denver.
Yeah, one of the few reasons I stay in California lol. hows the weather there now?
If you don’t crash.. you don’t ride too hard bro👍
haha I know. very fine line between learning and hurting lol
Dog be doggin you out😉
haha that guy was so pissed off. he thought i'm running him off the trail lol
What bike were u riding in this video?
Santa Cruz Bronson
I’ve ridden Thorn Alley about 10 times now and have gotten a flat three times.
I must be really lucky, I've never had a flat there. What type of flats did you get
TrailDad make that four now. I got another flat yesterday on my new ride. All times I hit a sharp, jagged rock that puts a dent on my rims.

if you use trail forks, most features are in the quarry trail. That jump in the middle of the trail was unfortunately taken down. let me know when you ride, message me in fb

TrailDad it’s rebuilt and someone added a kicker before the big jump
Im 14 and even during quarantine I spent almost 3 hours a day doing all of those trails.

Do you have a Strava account so I can find this flow? I thankfully don’t have any social media.
