    Finally a YouTuber that admits he needs some work and is willing to get it and share it this guy is just a truly good person
  • @Relaw14
    I always forget that you have 125,000 subs. Whenever I watch a video I always think you have way more. You definitely deserve more.
  • @SpencerRides
    I already know how to hit jumps, but it's nice to hear him put into words how its done. I just tell people to "send it"
  • @ashtonbrownbmx
    Hey I never got good with jumping until this year and I just cleared my biggest jump ever, a 20-foot race step-up. You are doing great man!
  • @ebd3255
    Totally agree with the timing piece part. I went to a bike park and was so unstable hitting big jumps but as soon as i started to turn my bars or anything in the air it stabilised me and was so much more confident
  • @VentureMTB
    I'm pleasantly surprised by the timing aspect that he mentioned. I have created a habit of turning my front wheel to the left whenever I hit jumps and it's not really on purpose. I just need some fluid movement to carry me through the air, otherwise I freeze up when I realize I stopped moving and I begin to dead sailor a bit.
  • @joebikes
    As others have said the "timing technique" is actually really good when jumping. It keeps you active on the bike, always in a state of motion which helps you stay in control. You always want to be in control of the bike. Never just "let the bike do it." I've heard so many people say that... even pro riders who often forget what it was like to start out. You can't just let the bike do it... you have to take control of the bike. And the timing technique is key in doing that... so good on you Seth! Start developing that timing into more steaze!! And when you're in Arkansas next... let me know and we can do some riding 🤓
  • @KestrelYI
    Great stuff, man! Has been fun to see the progression of your skills and trails.
  • @scooterrc7799
    I love this series and seeing him improve. Great Job at the trail too
  • @DeadsetYT
    Good to see your progression man! You're killing it. Another Great Episode. :D
  • @Kai-ze2rb
    I think this is a very good how-to. The carpet thing is worth a million, as other channels talk about bunny-hop and all kind of other things that wont help you to get a feel for jumping. And it´s all about how it feels to become confident.
  • @RoryMag
    I'm amazed how quickly you were able to take on his advice and improve your jump. I feel like there's usually a big gap between knowing what to do, and being able to apply it. That's an impressive trait of how quickly you were able to correct your mistakes and bad habits.
  • @freerangemtb
    Hiring a coach as I did at the beginning of this year was one of the best decisions I made for myself in mountain biking. I highly recommend it.
  • @hode126
    Amazed at how many excellent pointers in one vid. I’ve watched many jump vids and this was by far the simplest and most intuitive yet. I’m a new fan of this coach.
  • @mrkthmn
    Big progress man! You went from trying to bunny hop from lip to landing to actually letting the jump float you across. I’m excited to see how this changes the way to ride the course now that you’re hitting the features so much more efficiently!
  • @tonybob2853
    Great vid, I've been dirt jumping for many years and I still watched the whole video through to see if there was anything I still needed to learn.
  • @christoph6824
    Seriously helpfull video for someone whos been struggling for quite some time ! Thank you !
  • @lurker5087
    I do a lot of "urban" biking because there's not too many trails within a reasonable distance and this absolutely helped me to practice the smaller jumps I find around my town
  • @laustudie
    Nice to have a step by step guide for jumping. Usually do not really think about jumping, usually it works(95%) and sometimes i land to heavy on the nose(5%). Hope with these tips i can fix those errors. Also glad that Seth is not some MTB- pro makes it a lot more relatable for your average mountainbikers who are struggling with many of the same issues seth is struggling with.
  • @golfdoctorphd
    I love watching your progress my man... it's really cool!
