Super washed, feel like a passenger and can’t jump lol

Go back and get comfortable on some tables before sending big gaps. You’re going dead sailor and just need to work on fundamentals.

You look really tense. Go back to a small table, work on pushing through all of the takeoff with the rear wheel, work on your popping technique so that your body dictates what the bike does and not the other way around.

If you have a small roller, practice trying to clear the top of it with both wheels by using your body weight to lift the front wheel first, then lean forward to bring the rear up. Work towards trying a small bunny hop on it at low speed, jumping technique is very similar.

It takes a lot of time and trial to get comfortable on bigger jumps, it would be stupid to get injured because you don’t take the time to get comfortable progressively.

Go and watch ben cathro’s how to jump video on the how to bike series on pinkbike’s channel, it is great (the whole playlist is very good in general).

And maybe ask your buddy for advice he looks like he knows what to do there 🙂

Good luck !
