Aaaand another guy asking for jumping advice, or just a roast if you feel like.

I think I speak for everyone here when I say thanks for posting a halfway decent video, with slo-mo to boot.

You look like you’re bending your knees and lowering your body as you approach the jump (good), but then you stay there and absorb the lip. Keep doing what you’re doing in the approach, but as soon as you get to the jump start standing up and pushing into the face. Remember that you don’t want to absorb it like you would other trail obstacles – imagine it’s damp soil and you’re trying to leave the best tire tracks you can, particularly with the rear wheel.

It just looks like your timing is off. Keep going and you’ll figure it out. For me, I can feel the lip of the jump in my feet or legs. When you feel it and get it right, you use it to get boost. Looks like you’re still absorbing the lip, just takes a little time to figure it out.

to combine what others have said: your timing is off which is causing you to absorb the jump.

to think about it more as body position than milliseconds – which can be difficult

as with everything in mtb where you look is where you go

your whole body is saying “do not go too high and do not go too far.”

this frame i took is where you should have your weight rear biased. that will pull the red line back to be more perpendicular to arc of the ramp, and will pull your gaze up which will float you more.
