- This video explains how to learn and practice the double blip log hoping technique. This technique is good to learn and be familiar with when you get into situations where the logs are suspended with an undercut as well as when you don't have much run up.

If you guys have any other tips that might with the double blip would love to hear them!
This is great! It's something I've been working on also. I think if you master it you can go over a 6" obstacle the same way as a 4' log.
Alec is killing it! Bad ass man 🤘🏽
Another great video. I've been practicing log hops, pivot turns and slow wheelies and it's friggen hard!! You guys are good. What I've learned from doing log hops (and watching all the pros), is to try to keep the power on a little longer on the second blip to allow the rear wheel to traction over the log while keeping your front end from dropping down as hard. Easier said than done!
awesome! keep practicing. it's hard to remember to take a break from riding single track and practice some of these skills. really helps when you get back on the trails
Thanks for the video! Always look forward to them!
Thanks nick have you tried the double blip before?
@@TrailBoundco I haven't. I'll have to practice it some!
Great riding!
I saw your decal on nickdogs channel thought I'd check you out. thanks for the tips in this vid
For the undercut stuff you want to use the zap. Same idea as the double blip but more aggressive with the clutch and second blip so your rear tire leaves the ground and lands higher on the obstacle. :) Oh and if you're double blipping a rock or log, you want to hold pressure so you land on both wheels on the other side!
I just watched a video by Megan Griffiths (Megs Braap) on the double blip to get over logs. She said goal is to not have front wheel dive down over log, but to climb it and then have both wheels touch down at the same time. Very hard to do. She showed about 10 attempts and got it right maybe 3 out of ten. I'm a very old newbie and just trying to coordinate clutch throttle in various situations.
Yeah, that's advanced. Takes time.
As you do it more and your confidence grows this comes naturally
Trying hard to learn this one, my buddy I ride with is getting better and better at hard enduro and this technique is what i am missing to get up the latest canyon. I keep tryin it but it is undercut rocks and i end up sitting last minute and loop lol.
Actually heading there tomorrow again to give it another go maybe we can work on this double blip before we head up fingers crossed.
Thanks for the quick how to vid wish me luck my poor bike really wants me to start making more obstacles as its is much easier on the body and bike when we make it lol
Cheers!
I've been practicing these for a year and my bike still wants me to make more obstacles haha. was practicing the double on a vertical ledge we found about handle bar height. Alec got it most of the time. I got it a few times and my pipe got it a few times too haha. on the big stuff its important to remember you need to get your body up over the obstacle even though you start way back to get traction you have to throw your weight up and above the obstacle so your body follows it. hard to do but that helped me on bigger trees and such
@@TrailBoundco Thanks for the pointers and encouragement!
Love watching your adventures they always inspire me to want to keep getting better.
getting the stand and the jump forward part from my brain to the bike currently I am hoping it will just "click" one time and then get better from there.
If all this stuff was easy everyone would do it right.
Maybe when i finally get the double blip i will celebrate and order one of your leather tug straps those things are awesome!
I appreciate the reply
Where were you riding
thanks
Nice!
Thanks for the great vid! Are you hitting most of those logs in 1st or 2nd gear?
@TrialsGuy thanks for the feedback. i just jumped up to a 300 and find 1st gear way too wild and snappy! Will spend more time playing in 2nd.
First gear!! 😀
nice video
This is a fundamental move in trials that isn’t as widely used in enduro but it becomes absolutely vital to know In Order to advance especially hard enduro. 😁
Definitely I think it’s becoming much more known and used recently though
trials bike is the best way to learn this like many other techniques.
Yep got one recently
Never to old to learn new hobbies
3:32, with front or rear brake?
neither. maybe a little rear if you need to save it if it gets to high thats all
🤟🏽👌
Where are you riding? Looks like the pnw. I live in WA.
same man! where have you been riding ^^
@@tyhennessy9945 ride all over the Cascades in the summer. Green MTN outside Bremerton, Sequim, and Walker valley in the winter are my favs.
@@CW-up7xv i just moved out here, thanks for the info. I rode walker last weekend and everything under the snowline was running great! if your not busy on sat. me and a buddy are heading back that way! it would be cool to get a little group ride going.
@@tyhennessy9945 I'd totally be down but I'm out of the country for the next 2 months. When I get back I plan to ride a lot though. What's your email address? Walker has more singletrack off the map than on it, and it's great stuff. Keep your eyes peeled when you go out there. I can share tracks with you if you email me
@@CW-up7xv THATS WHAT IM LOOKING FOR! my email address is ty.hennessy.gv@gmail.com
3:38 you might actually be touching the log with your rim.
Auto clutch old farts cannot double blip cause the engagement is no longer controlled by the clutch lever.
By no means am I excellent at the double blip technique, just sharing what I know and hope it helps other riders.
And after watching your self ride, I can clearly see I need more throttle, revving it out more gives more lift and is controlled with the clutch. Thanks, Chris for posting, I am learning things from myself ;)
Alec Barbieri definitely man it helps to see videos of yourself riding for sure
@@alecbarbieri9416 are you keeping 1 or 2 fingers on the clutch while going over the log?
Matthew Johnston the ideal is two have one index finger on clutch and brake, and be covering your rear brake the whole time. Even when riding around it’s a good practice to keep that finger on the clutch and brake.
@@alec14141414 definitely makes sense. I always struggle keeping a finger on the clutch, doesn't help that my kx has enough low end to throttle out of most anything either haha.
You’re going too slow
braap!
No he isn't. He can do it from a stand still if he wants.
