I really enjoy your videos. In my 60's so a lot of the things are beyond my comfort zone but always learning. Thank you

[ThatSkaterGuyy]

Wow, I tried this on my ride yesterday and was wondering where the ground went. I had no idea I was doing it wrong all these years! Thanks guys!

[norbertomoran]

Holy crap!!! I love that side by side slow/normal effect. I’ve never seen that. Well done gents. Cheers!🤘🏼😄

[KraXxuS]

Slow-mo plus normal speed explanation is the most amazing thing I've ever seen thus far in online mountain bike tips/tricks

[DGvisuals]

The editing on your videos really helps the effectiveness of the explanation. Nice work guys.

[andrzejchoynowski]

Awesome, this slow motion + stick really helps to understand what it is all about, in many previous vids technique was not shown so clearly as today

Good advice! I learned clearing jumps april 2017 in bike park Wales after watching your videos. The most important thing for me was an earlier tip: slow down and try to make height by actively jumping. This was a game changer. Now it is me jumping. Before it was my bike jumping with me on it, going too fast into the jump with more speed and sort of squashing it because I didnt want to go too far/high. That resulted in a case every time. Now Im in control!
I can recommend ”popty ping” in BPW - some good jumps there to practice this!

Been researching how to jump a lot recently (since I completely suck at it) and this is exactly how every good MTB coach will teach you how to jump properly. Never been so excited to go find a stick and practice on flat ground lol.

[mitchwarren]

I feel wearing my GMBN shirt doing this will be an advantage!!!

[acsaiyanbalce]

Finally, a great jumping tutorial that really made me understand the concept. Great job fellas 👍👍

[cottaging_womble]

That rear view follow cam footage at the end was sick! Good advice too; I definitely need to practice that.

[richardbarton]

Thanks guys can't afford a coach at the moment, this is a big help. Please keep up the tips. A little bit of detailed knowledge makes all the difference.

[danlakermtb]

Awesome advice guys! I found i wasn't clearing some tables at my local trails, once I nail those manuals I will move onto jumping sticks to work on that timing... then hopefully I will be sending it like a pro 🤔👍🤟😁

[bradherbert]

Excellent! I once heard someone explain it in a way that you forget about your front wheel because if you have speed it WILL go into the air and only focus on the back wheel leaving the lip of the jump so it is less to think about while you are practicing

[anderscma]

Hey @gmbn I would love for you guys to make a video on how to crash. I realize it's not gonna be a pleasant one but I think it would be really useful for a lot of us riders working the limit. I broke my wrist really bad in the summer. Surgery and metal. I think I could have walked away a little less bruised if I have had some awareness of does and don'ts on crashing.
Thanks for all this awesome content! Love it!

[markbyrne]

Where do they sell them mtb sticks I want one

[paulhope]

Great video guys - can't wait to start using your skills tuition vids when my new bike arrives! Loved the final scene with Blake talking and jumping at the same time - NICE

[marcsee]

wow guys - that smart editing Normal with SlowMo is super dope. Matrix has you

[JUMPstudio]

thats the key, POP - Pause - POP thankyou Neil & Blake 😀
