I’ve been riding for years. I’ve learned a few things from others on YouTube about Jumping. The problem with me is I would overthink. The whole kid aspect just clicked. I can actually visualize myself riding the jump now. I’m pushing 60 never too late to learn.

I just want to say I appreciate you saying 'dont give up' in your videos. I follow you as my primary online teacher and greatly appreciate what you do. It's encouraging hearing a teacher say dont give up when some of the progressions are painstakingly slow

I love the way you explained how to jump at the beginning of the video … made so much sense … “how would you run up and jump off of this to go the farthest”

I've watched a bazillion jump videos and what you said about the cover everyone with one recipe is so on point. EVERYONE is different when it comes to this stuff: in experience and in athleticism. Following some cover-all tip is not going to do it on top of it being dangerous. I have a feeling you'll be getting a bunch of clients as long as videos and information such as this one keep comin! Thanks.

As an older guy new to MTB who is trying to learn jumping - your videos are treasure. Thank you

Props on your early comments about body weight, no bike, and leaning forward into the jump, these are rarely mentioned in all of the other videos.

I think that was the best jump vid ive seen! Nice one boyo!

I (re)learned to jump with a curb transition and a few hundred reps. If you can master one small jump, you can do any jump.
