In a later unit I'm going to be talking about that in greater depth but basically what I
just did was take the bunnyhop skills that we've already talked about and applied them
to a real jump. Something that has a bigger lipped to it do it naturally shoots you up
more vertically it requires a little bit more speed. But at the same time it also requires
less effort because you don't have to pull your front wheel up as hard and your bike
naturally arches up an evens out. So you actually don't have to tuck in as really as hard either
it's really necessary skill for learning you know how to ride dirt jumps, if your going
to ride a lot of the obstacles the skate park, and it's really a good way to learn how to
gage speed. The main thing to remember about that is to gage your speed properly so that
your not going to over shoot it's usually a little bit better to come a touch short
than it is to over shoot the jump. Remember to look ahead and keep looking ahead all the
way through the jump so that one motion flows into the next. And basically stay relax as
long as you stay relaxed much like everything else your chances of riding out clean are
greatly improved and even if you don't your going to get a lot less hurt by crashing if
your relaxed.
