That is the best explanation of how to jump ever, thanks. Maybe an old dog can learn a new trick.

Absolutely and unequivocally the best jump how to video I've seen to date. Bruce Lee was quoted to saying "the key to brilliance is simplicity".
Thank you for a no bullshit run through Sam😎

Sam I have watched endless videos trying to learn how to jump and this is by far the best .. your the first to say don’t try to pop for beginners and I have found that the best way for me learning .. I have nearly killed myself trying to pop and bunny hop on jumps !!

You should do an advanced jump technique video. How to take steeper lips, how to hip properly, how to take larger jumps, how to get amplitude

Definitely one of the better jump tutorials out there. Many of us understand the basics of jumping but it's the finer details which to the beginner, are crucial in understanding the whole picture and acquiring the confidence to go bigger. You touched on aspects of jumping which I haven't seen in other vids, and I've seen many!

Well done, mate and thanks for taking the time to make yet another jump vid, but one which is tailored to those of us who desperately want to take it to the skies, but haven't yet attained a ticket!
Cheers 👍🏻

This is freaking hilarious! It’s got such a good tone to it. Most jump videos are really dry.

"Hi Sam, I'm June '54 yrs old Beginners for mountain biking. I wish I was on younger age I really want to do a jump but, I always scared and do the wrong move. ""I watch your video every day, lunch break even in precious little CR time.

Bought my First Hibike today. It was you and ElectricBikeReview.
Thank you Both. You all saved me so much Frustration.

It is always fun to hear what experience has to say, and how someone with a lot of deep knowledge on a subject chooses to relate that to someone they want to teach. Great job!

[AshfordMTB]

I genuinely believe that this video is the missing link of how to jump videos.

[pantkowski]

This is great. I like the way you speak english, slow and clear. You are a great teacher. I'm absolutely enjoying your videos. Thanks!

[icklebinen]

He mentions there are many videos out there teaching this stuff...but this is the most practical one I have seen. He teaches the basics and suggests you stick to the basics until you gain the confidence and control on the bike to try and be, more visually stunning on takeoff!
Thanks Sam!

[craigcarrick]

This video made me subscribe. I've been riding since '96 and riden all schools of riding. These rules never change. Judge the speed right, keep lose and let the bike ride for you. Love your enthusiasm Sam your entertaining as it gets.

[JamesDownes]

This is the best how-to jump tutorial. The bunny hop for me is more complicated and not as stable as letting the ramp guide you up. I'm new to MTBing and this video is clear and easy to understand. Thanks Sam.

[sam.wootton]

Genuinely helpful video - honest, simple and from experience. Not "over technique". Thank you.

[falty]

Somehow I knew you'd have the most sensible advice on how to jump. I'm a beginner jumper and am glad to hear that it's okay to let the jump do the work for you when starting out. I'll stick to this method for now, working on speed. feeling the jump and getting a decent landing in.

[gogovitch]

😂🤣😂 „they might need to watch this video?!“ *tears of laugh* best coinsidence ever! 😂😅

[kidqwick]

Also important for beginner jumpers is to slow down your rear rebound. I used to have my rear rebound fast and would wonder why it felt like the back bucking. A good reference my friend gave me was to set set your rear rebound slower than it takes your bike to come back up under you after sitting on it with both feet on the ground, and standing up.

So thrilled to have come across this... as most all how-to-jump videos I've watched mentions doing the 🐰 hop movement at the lip, which I'm learning. Good to know that the right amount of speed can also yield air time! Hellz yayER! Thank you!
