Rate My MTB Drop Technique! (Video)

I rate this “hell yeah!” – looks like a fun zone. Keep progressing!

Sick!

Your front wheel dives to the point where your arms are fully stretched out. your bike “pulls” you down of the ramp. but as i understood, we should approach each flight phase actively, means you should jump a bit on the ramp. a small bunnyhop. not to gain hight or distance, but to not lose your front and come in a passive position. you want to take off with your bike parallel to the ramp untill you backwheel is in the air. from there on the front can begin to dive until you are parallel to the landing. you have to initiate this flight phase actively. the timing for the jump is the real challenge.

If you pause the vid while your mid air you see your ass almost touching the rear wheel, if you make it a habit of going that low with your ass one day you’ll actually touch it with your ass going off the drop and you’ll probably turn in to a human catapult. So stand up a bit more. But this looks like a great practice drop when absolute beginner stuff is getting too easy so do that drop as much as you can and you’ll be golden real quick

Leaning back a bit much causing some disconnection from the bike. There is a small nuance between putting it down on a feature and letting it happen to you. This is right in between. But it looks like you are ready to progress to something bigger that this.
