Jumps – why do most riders make no attempt and just roll them? – Page 5 – Bike Forum

New trail opened at Leith Hill. Table tops and jumps. Was up there today and was amazed at the number of riders who made no attempt to get air - not even on the easy low level table tops. Most people just rolled the whole trail! They're just missing out so much that is fundemental to MTB'ing. I'm not talking big stuff here. C'mon at least make the effort and ride the trail the way it was designed to be ridden... It's really not that hard. Just surprised at the lack of ambition and the missing desire to improve. Maybe the trail builders just wasted their time:-(

Jumping fails you say?

First one - tiny cut to left knee.
Second one - herniated two discs in my neck.

May be why. Guy I was with face planted big style. Broken jaw, eye socket, arm and possible broken neck as well. He was a right mess.

The reason why old men don't jump....

That was great. Great footage for him to see what he did wrong too.
