    I can’t imagine the amount of work you put into this, but man, this is the best “how to” jump tutorial I’ve ever seen. The visuals and breakdown made me realize why I jump the way I do (bucked and front end heavy). Going to apply this to my next time out on the jump line. Probably asking for too much, but it would be neat if you did a “how to” drop tutorial in the same fashion.

    Really useful video, thanks! I'm 65 and struggle with the traditional advice regarding jumping i.e. do a bunny hop. Your tips are spot on! Keep up the good work!!

    Alan, you really do GOOD work. In the last year I would say I've learned the most useful stuff from YOU and the Kyle and April channel. Thank you, and keep it up.
  • Dude this video was the key to me unlocking how to jump! I literally watched it, printed out some notes, and headed out to session jumps. It clicked right away. Thank you.

    Great video! The 2 biggest takeaways I need to implement are "look to the sky" and "the row". Thank you for the excellent breakdown!
