got flamed in my last post for being bad at jumps so I wanna see if I improved in 2weeks? I think I pulled up a bit late but if you slow mo you can tell.
It looks like you should be compressing into the jump more to generate a bit more pop. Seems like you compressed a bit early but hard to tell from
The angle
Noice! Always happy to see someone’s progression and that someone is more fearless 😀
You still don’t do the compression- just the pop, and the timing is a bit off, but that’s definitely a huge improvement in my book!
Looks quite uncontrolled. Maybe find a safer spot to learn taking off.
I learned jumping on my bmx on fly outs at a skatepark. Translated to MTB very easy.
I can recommend a flyout type setup
You managed the jump ok, but tbh the biggest item for correction here is to not stop in the middle of the trail straight after a jump.
Your buddy could have crashed into you or the tree really badly, putting you both at risk for no good reason.
Move to the side!
Trail?
good going buddy
It does look like you are absorbing the jumps pop a bit though
regardless, great effort
