How to Jump your MTB without getting BUCKED.

This is great advice. Most jump tutorials teach the advanced technique that includes boosting a jump. But timing each step is very difficult and also crucial to avoid getting bucked. As I understand, your technique simplifies this process by separating out the "managing a jump well" part. Once this has become muscle memory, then it's time to move onto boosting the same jump.

Been off my bike for 2 months now and healing with 13 fractures and punctured lung. Got bucked off a small jump and landed in a concrete ditch. This video came at a good time, thanks.

as much as the stache freaked me out a bit when i first started watching your videos, it's your signature, keep it.

This video helped me a lot! I came off OTB on a jump line fracturing my back in 4 places, which caused me to have anxiety about jumping - your video helped me go back to basics and start again. Took a small blue jump line with your advice in mind, and sessioned it for 2+ hours, was able to build my confidence back up, and clear them all very comfortably in the end. 10/10, subbed. Thank you!

Great tip, this just helped me clear some doubles that I was anxious about. Very intuitive. Subbed!

It's always fun to see somebody on this jump. My buddy and I built this one 6 or 7 years ago. I have seen Pinkbike Friday fails on this jump. Good to see you knock it out.

I know I was pumping and standing up a bit on the jumps in this video. I was trying really hard not to but it has become second nature now. That being said, maintaining the distance between my chest and top tube was the foundation for letting me pump and stand up without getting bucked.

Awesome tutorial, works for me! If you want to clear jumps w/out getting bucked, this is it! Keep the stach sir 😁

I’ve been practicing some bigger jumps and I was just thinking how awful it would be to get bucked on 20 ish feet gaps…. This video helped so much, thanks!! Keep it up!

EPIC chops and mustache! Keep it!

Great stuff thanks for sharing … And keep the mustache looking cool 🤘👊🤙

Great tip, gonna try this approach when I go out next. Love the stache.

Great video Alan, thanks for the pointer

First video if the first of yours that I have watched - instant sub. This technique is so easy to understand and implement!

This is also a well-edited video - very digestible but also slick. Looking forward to more!

Great video 💪 You make this look so easy 🙌

Love this content. Just what I needed. I’m sure others need it too

This makes a lot of sense, thank you! Correct me if I'm wrong, if you keep equal pressure on both the fork and shock as it compreses on the lip then the rebound that the suspension adds as you leave the lip will allow for a good arc. However if your arms collapse on the lip, then the weight bias shifts too much to the rear shock and as you start leaving the lip of the jump and unweight the bike, the shock's rebound will add "a little bit extra" and rotate you forward mid air. They say that the same thing can happen if your suspension setup is bad with a slow fork and a quick shock.

Thanks for the beta and insights! Also, long love the mustache man🤘🤘

Good stuff for me to finally try jumping, thanks! :)
