Get someone to teach you - its the only way I managed to do it. I learnt at 45
agh! ralli beat me to it!
I'm 28. I can jump a kiteboard. I can drop 5ft+ on a bike without requiring more than one run up to check the exit line is OK, but I cant get more than 6" of air without losing control of my bowels lol.
I know the techniques, I can do it at 5mph fairly confidently, but any more than that and I tend to screw it up in the launch, fly through the air paralysed with fear and crash out. Never managing to nail anything means its a self-reinforcing fear. Ive watched all the videos, I've been out with people who can jump, I've spent hour and hours practicing on small jumps, but if it requires going up before going down I just cant do it. Im also peed off, know that you're not alone!
TJ - talking out your arse again! (and it's still light out) - no one taught your teacher 😉
Try lots of table tops with well built take offs / landings then start to dig the middles out!
Find someone 'hard' to scare you into it or stand either side of the jumps so you cant bottle.... got me from being crap to being able to clear a 6 pack, 18ft doubles, 25ft gap etc..
was that taft?
Nah Rich W...
