    4yo Trying desperately to get some air. Any tips that could translate well to him? Looking for the equivalent of a Ms. Rachel jump clinic.

      Logically by phyics laws i would say more speed for his little weight, cheers Buddy

      Little more speed. And tell him to pull up a little longer. As soon as he feels the front wheel come up he’s dropping his weight back down onto the bike. He needs to keep standing / pushing into the pedals / pulling up bars until the rear tire hits the lip of the jump

      I don’t have a recommendation but as a fellow father of a young child, “Ms. Rachel jump clinic” sent me 😂 👏

      Send the pump track non stop so he learns how to pump through the rollers. As he gets stronger, this will help with pumping and preloading for jumps.

      Honestly, kid is 4. Just have him ride more and have fun at this point. Maybe ride with kids who are just a little older and more advanced. I’ve been around A LOT of kids who were doing BMX and MTB (including my own), and detailed instructions at this age do not work. More time on the bike, fun, and watching other kids does though.

      He’s doing great!

      More time “Behind Bars” is going to help him. He’ll gain confidence, flow, timing, the rest will come. He’s gotta be comfortable to have more speed and feel what to do with it.

      Laps, laps, and more laps.

      Enjoy.

      You should be proud.
