No matter how hard I try, I cannot clear the jumps at my local pumptrack…
Do I just have to go faster?
Usually I can clean most jumps on trails.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I have to bunny hop?
You don’t pump the berm before it, rolling over it already compressed, and you don’t actually jump on this one, as you’re already full straight and uncompressed even approaching it. So you simply need to compress at the bottom, and push into the lip as you’re going up, as if you were trying to jump without the bike.
Important note – don’t just jump up, but push into the lip as you’re
