This helped me so much I've been scared of jumping for years because I always feel I'm going to go over the bars. In the vid you said move weight forward. I've spent the last 2 days doing 6ft gaps.
happy thanks.

This is great advice for all mtbrs, not just E's... great intro, great vid Chris👍

Weakest part of my riding is jumping, I really need to spend a week just practicing nothing else but jumping ona small kicker.
Funny thing is if I do a run blind the first time and hit a jump I'm fine, so maybe its just all in my head.. :D


All great points though, so thanks Chirs.

Thanks man I didn’t even know this tech existed I’m definitely going to be getting into this sport and get a very high end bike. I look forward to having an ebike for the first time and getting some nice suspension and a badass bike frame. I am into Motocross and off road riding I think I’m going to switch to high powered electric mid drive bikes that can jump and shet

[GrandmasterUV]

What is the best bike build that felt the best to you? It’s valuable knowledge I’d love to know. I have no experience with e bikes

[rupedog]

Once u have the basics, getting a tow in to new or bigger jumps helps I find... gauge speed

[benwahhhh]

could you explain your settings on suspension pressure and Rebond for this kind of activity ?

[nigelboyd]

Great advice . Which bike park do you recommend for learning jumps / drops etc ?

[benl]

Hey guys! Great vid. Do you have some further tips for the right setup of my suspensions of my fully. You are flying so easily through your trails. My e160 feels to be to heavy... 😪😪😪

[kennethblackford]

I wish you would mention if you are using flat or clipped in peddles

[steveedwards]

Hi Where are actually riding in this video looks good place to learn jumping safely?

[jayhoughton]

What about hardtails? and 29er hardtails? do you need a minimum amount of travel in the forks to pull off decent jumps, or would 100mm be ok?

[foxladdesign]

Rear tyre pressure looks about 5psi :-)

[SebCryptoTrades]

I just bought my first EMTB and going to go ride my first trails in a week's time, do you have any recommendations on what I should practice before going to the mountains?

[drippon]

What would be the best emb under £3500 for someone getting back in to the sport

[stevethebutcher]

Let's see the Welsh boyo Jones getting some air 🤫

[markmushypeas]

Where is this location. I'm coming from Sydney (Oz) for Aug and building a list of places to ride?

[davel]

Where is this chaps? I’ve got nowhere near me that would give me that scope for practice but would be happy to travel for the right facility???
