  Im sure you know this, but your videos are by far the best tutorials available. I've seen your videos in the past but never really utilized them for myself but now I find myself re-discovering them as a training tool for my young children. I am currently teaching them to jump but have been having trouble articulating to a 6 and 8 year old these types of skills. I think this exercise will help drive the point home and help them implement a boost instead of just riding off a jump solely relying on their speed.

  I know how to do so many skills in my head! It’s my body and my stupid bike that are holding me back.

  Okay then do it with your fingers extended and your thumb on top of the bar,  just use your palms if you're not pulling up at all.  I can't wait for that one.

  Bump jumps absolutely work for learning to bunny hop and jump. I figured it out as a kid, in my driveway, on my BMX bike. It didn’t have a name as far as I knew, but I did call it a bump jump myself. It teaches timing and the motion. I utilized the same weightless drop/crouch, just without a suspension to compress , and the same explosive jump needed to get the bike off the ground. The bump trained me on my timing of when I needed to scoop with my feet and get my bike in the air.<br><br>If you want to learn to bunny hop or jump, for sure give it a try.

  So basically a bunny hop, but slower, and kind of easier(because bump helps with lifts) but also harder(because needs more control)

  A trail where I ride has the perfect root for this. &nbsp;You get a nice, high jump, but not a lot of distance.

  Ive been riding for a few years now and came to a dead stop in my skill progression a couple years ago. &nbsp;Ive been doing a hard reset on skills practice this season and it has helped tremendously

  I witnesses my 2 boys &nbsp;(6 and 8 years old) learn to jump their bikes this year. You know how? Just took them to the pump track countless times and yelled &quot;do the pump&quot; whenever I could and eventually the pump became a jump. Now they do decent jumps on ramps where teens do backflips on and no they dn&apos;t have special bikes. Timing is good, nearly no overshoots, minimal crashes, not a single go over the bar scares. Time on the bike is key, let&apos;s see if the same formula will work for the adult... time on the bike, gents.
