So my mate hit his first jump today. Any tips on what he could do better?

Pick something way easier for first jump
Keep his arms more rigid, pushing into the jump.
He could benefit from spotting his landing vs looking at the horizon. Or maybe he’s looking at some sheep a few km away? One tip for you is to maybe not post your mate‘s shame on the web after his first jump attempt.
Don’t fall after
It’s pretty much perfect
He could def do better by going around any future jumps.
I’d start off by wearing pads and picking a smaller jump
Really wanted to be able to insert a gif of Thor screaming “MORE POWER RABBIT” In infinity war.
Whoever designed that jump needs to label it. It’s not for straight airs… there is no lip on purpose. They must be trying to do trick stoppie landings.
Lean back…
Yeah, wear protective gear when doing shit like this
I think it would be better if he didn’t crash, but that’s me.
Lean back, pull the bars up and stand up in the middle of the jump to get more power
Nearly had it, just need more speed.
His knees buckled at the lip at the last second causing the backend to buck him and over rotating. If his legs stayed even a little straighter, he would have landed it.
First make sure to have enough speed (this was fine here). When you’re about to go up the ramp, stand up straight (compared to earth not the ramp) w feet parallel on pedals, look forward and in the air you can pull up if the nose is dipping. This is basic jumping. More advanced is to pump and hop the jump (for more air and control).
Any crouching or sitting while jumping will make the front dip. Have fun
