Currently fighting with trying to clear this jump
from my local skate park. My assumption after watching this video versus how i’m seeing others is basically just SPEED and BALLS. It looks like i’m lacking both at the moment.
How can i clear this jump? Any tips would be great.

You are correct. Speed and balls is what you need to increase.
you need a lot more speed
Yeah you are way, way too slow. But build up to it gently, tables are made for casing, and focus on technique and control as you case it closer and closer to the landing 😉
go about 2.3x faster
Ditch the backpack. The shifting weight can really mess you up if you’re learning. Then yeah, like other people said, just go a little faster until you clear it. Make sure you’re in the right gear as you’re gaining speed too.
Have you tried going faster? How is this a question
2.334x your speed. Ditch the backpack, jacks up your balance.
Same as every other jump. Go the correct speed for that particular jump, and use good jumping technique.
If you’re unsure of the speed, you can ask a local for a “tow”. This means you follow behind them on the jump so that you can match their speed.
If you’re unsure of technique you can refer to YouTube.
need for speed. there you go, I said it
Speed bruh
Is this a serious question
Frumos in tineretului😃 Ai nevoie de mai multa viteza
Go much much much faster, take off the bag, maybe follow someone that can clear the junp so you know the speed needed to clear.
Speed + technique :

You are behind your bike, you should be still loading your bike here
+1 for the Tineretului skatepark popping up on reddit 🙂
PS: don’t know the answer…but my 13yo son surely flies over that table
bigger jump and faster
Way more speed… and a little pump and lift and you have it
First, work on pumping. Then work on much smaller jumps until they’re easy. Then increase the size as you become comfortable. Then do this jump when you already know how to do it.
Absolutely too slow.
Go faster but also boost off the lip by compressing into the jump and bunny hopping off your rear tire at the last second. Practice until it’s easy.
