Common Jumping Mistakes... How to Fix Them! Helping my Husband to Jump Better | MTB Skills

Common jumping problems include not straightening your legs properly as you take off, and not allowing the bike to come up underneath you.

Join me as I help my husband David improve his jumping technique and see if you can spot any little mistakes that you also make when jumping.

Things to ask yourself include:
Do I stand up tall as I take off?
Do I allow the bike to come up underneath me by bending my knees and pointing my toes?
Do I sometimes do too much preload and end up being pitched forward into a very scary landing position?

Get your phone out and film what you're doing in slo-mo to check your technique.

Practice on a variety of different shapes and sizes of jump to gain some good experience which will help you adapt to each new jump you find whilst out there on the trails.

If you want to see more one-on-one type videos like this one, do let me know (and on what subject), and of course let me know what how-to subjects you'd like me to cover in a more classic tutorial style.
