Hopping and jumping a MTB: dummies guide

[ByronH]

I've been riding MTB for a few years now, and would classify myself as moderately skilled.

 

I'm keen to add jumping to my skills for some of those logs, stone beds and little obstacles which stand in my way.

 

I've looked up various 'ways' and 'techniques' on Dr Google, but have found so many, and sometimes they are very confusing and even conflicting with one another!

 

for a dummy on bunny hopping, jumping etc... Do you have any hints, tips and exercises that have helped you to master this practically? And does it have anything to do with the weight of one's MTB?

The absolute best thing you could do is PM Peach. He can do a one-on-one skills clinic with you. You'll be amazed at how much you can learn in a short hour with that guy.

Hey guys, i just spoke to Peach. He asked that you PM him directly please

[vdLRSA]

Always thought the best way to learn was to try, fall, stand up and try again...

[ByronH]

Ok thanks. Perhaps if there's enough interest in the different regions we can have a group session with Peach or somebody else skilled.

 

I'm in JHB. Is Peach in the Cape? Please also send me his contact details.

I have had someone show it to me, but for the life of me I can't hop my own DS as high as my son's HT. Not even close.

 

But these are one of those skills where practising gets you there. There are no short cuts. And it helps if someone shows you, and look at you while you try it to explain the mistakes you are making.
