Scrubbing Jumps with Amy Morrison, 2019 National Champ: Practice Like a Pro #41

In the last episode, we practiced hitting jumps at different speeds, and learning how to adjust leg pressure to reach the desired outcome. But what happens when you're hauling at race speeds and are hitting the jumps beyond what your legs can absorb?

Scrubbing off the lip will allow you to stay low to the ground and blow off unwanted energy, so you can reach the landing without overshooting it. This allows the energy to dissipate to the side, instead of sending you upward.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.
