Thanks for the XC consideration. It's appreciated.

Jumping in xc bikes is the best. I ride a trek supercaliber and it is so much fun to jump. It feels so good in the drops on my local trails.

Jumping is one of those things I try to progress for a month and year and then put it way for next year. Those hopper ramps look much nicer than the couple of house bricks and a plank wood ramps I used to make. They also look super helpful for getting over the gap jump fear

Can you make another video like this but use a hard tail bike instead?

Great video 😃😃 and learning jumping this way still looks challenging 😱😱

Really great video Neil. I saw the MTB hopped LIL Air and its new landing pad the other week and was very tempted to get it, but no content on Youtube on it yet. I think this one has pushed me over the edge to make a decision.

It's interesting to notice their difference in position through the take off! Neil extends his body much more, which leads to more height and also a better arc in the air. I think that the body position in the takeoff is one of the most important components of the jumping skill, but it is often over looked...

it would be awesome if you guys could link in the description the other videos that you recommend to go back and watch

I would be interested to know if anyone other than YouTube guys actually buy these ramps?

Let’s go another banger video everyday

Nice video. How big should I expect to jump reasonably on an 07 FSR XC with Tora 318 forks and a Triad shock? (I'm 83KG) Cheers!

@bikenweed hey looks like they owe you a shout out. The Kendall-Weed Pop is what me and the guys call it 😊

I just realized some of my seat issues…. Muscles. My thighs are too big to easily squeeze a seat through. I’m always thinking I need more seat drop. I need skinny legs!
Or… is there such a thing as crank offset?
