Before the comments roll in, I’m not young and dumb anymore and I wear a good MTB helmet now.

This was about 12 years ago. I rode BMX for about a decade but never been on a full suspension bike. Coworker got a new one and asked if I wanted to hit a local trail on his old one after work. I’m not sure what kind of bike it was or if it even fit me but do remember it being super soft. I saw the jump and my coworker said he didn’t like this one because it’s short and steep for a mountain bike. I didn’t understand what he meant because I hit jumps like this all day on my BMX, and my dumb ass didn’t think to ask him to clarify. I figured I’ll just send it and the suspension will soak up the landing if I overshoot. Boy was I wrong lol. Luckily I just sort of rolled and bounced out of it with just a bruise on my ass. After this, I got a proper bike, set the suspension up properly, got a helmet, and learned to jump with full suspension. Enjoy my stupidity!

My first full suspension MTB jump, OTB.
