[Closed] I can't jump for sh*t HELP

underthesun · 2009-06-01T14:17:53Z

Me and a few mates have found some nice little jumps some people have have built on our local trails (the ones where the ground drops away from you with a slight ramp up)! Thing is we have all tried jumping off these mainly by getting in the attack position, weight forward then on the lip of the ramp pulling up and backwards. However all we end up doing doing is dropping the front wheel virtually endoing whereas we should be landing the bike (or both) wheels first. Have any of you freeride gods got any suggestions what we are doing wrong or should we just give up and stay XC jey gayers ;)

I saw a new remedy in the LBS where someone sat down on a big jump.... his 3 day old ride is now snapped

Try videoing yourself jumping? Sometimes what you think you're doing, and what you're actually doing can be quite different!

To the guys who can't jump, did you never BMX as kids?
