Cheers man, been a wee while since yer last video. How's the gap jumping going?. This weather has been unreal. I bet Braefoot is a combo of concrete and dust the now? Hope you've been getting out enjoying it. For your gap jumping , try bunny hopping off everything with a lip and aiming for the backside of anything with a transition . Does not have to be big at all. Literally a off a root into another root or stone, a foot or 2 apart. or even bunnyhopping off the flat road into the downside of a kerb ramp. Once you get comfortable with doing that you'll start trying to do longer "pops" and that's basically you doing natural feature gaps .... and the exact same bio-mechanics as gap jumping off of lipped jumps, just with more vigour for the bunnyhop. You observation of how that young rider was jumping is spot on , some jumps it's literally just speed, but the steeper the lip then you absolutely have to start working the bike under you with a subtle up'n'over manoeuvre... exact same as popping low bunny hops over small trail features.
Basically an in-between version of an American bunny hop and an English bunny hop. If you spend the next several rides grabbing every trail opportunity doing wee natural gaps you'll be confident in no time for "must clear" gaps..... and also be really tired 😅
@@clyneslines9596 thanks for the advice mate, I really appreciate it! 😁👌 was at Braefoot on Tuesday my first time out on the bike for months, was great to get back out. It was very dusty but not too bad. I really must learn the American bunny hop, definitely seems to be the technique to help with jumping. Cheers mate. I look forward to seeing your next adventure. 😁🤙🤙🤙
That was couple of super trails. Cheers for the video. Also, nicely matched music too.
Great riding mate. Well rapid! 🤙🤙🤙🔥🔥🔥
