[i]did you learn to jump in the Brighton vicinity?[/i]
I was at Shoreham bmx track (just under the railway bridge) - not been back since really so not sure what state it's currently in. Some very nice st johns ambulance people with a 4x4r came and rescued me.
tbh, since then I've only got both wheels off the ground at the same time by accident...
Nice Tony.
Different rider, different location, same old skool style 8)

old skool is the best school.
like the eddie fiola tag line
I've never managed to "get" jumping a MTB feels weird. Rode BMX a lot when younger and still ride a little, I can still 360, x ups and few other simple jumps but MTBs feel awful in the air in comparison. A jump MTB I'm sure is fine but anything even slightly cross country bikes like most people ride are eughhhhh! in the air.
Coming from a bmx backgrouud, I know what you mean, but the bike in the above pic is this...

Cheap and cheerful xc bike with the seat down = jump bike.
I jump ride herts on a hummer sometimes too.my mate atkins (bmx legend) jumps gaps on a scott scale. 🙂
Name rings a bell but can't place it. I'm sure some people can jump xc bikes well, but it's much more awkward.
bikes are bikes 🙂
