      @vicwesmtb Месяц назад

      @@user-by5ju2zz3s thanks for the message! Start with 8-10 ft then see how much smaller you can go. The smaller circle is around 6 ft radius, but once you get it super dialed on can go even smaller. Hope this helps! Cheers!! Wes 👊😎

    You not loosing alot energy bunny hopping off a jump? Seems to be the thing now not loosing the energy from hopping in videos

    • @vicwesmtb
      @vicwesmtb 2 месяца назад

      Hi there, thanks for the comment! We don’t bunny hop at all when jumping so not losing any energy. We don’t bunny hop off a jump, we load and then unweight (explode) and lean slightly forwards with the bike… this ensures you keep momentum without changing the trajectory off of the takeoff and lip. This is completely different to bunny hopping. Hope this helps! Cheers 🤙

    THANKS U GUYS!! JUst got back from the trails. 58 years old, couldn't jump worth a crap. That thing you showed with pointing your chin forward, made everything click. I thought about ski jumpers, what do they do they get over the ski's. So yea man, I felt the back tire in the air!!! Weeeeeeeeeee!

    This was the first of your tutorials I found and I'm really impressed! Your discussion of technique was exactly what I was taught at a recent clinic, but you include more drills than they did, which should be super helpful. I see it's been four months since you published this so I really hope you do more!

      @vicwesmtb 11 месяцев назад

      Thanks for the awesome feedback!! We are working on the next video and hope to be able to make them on a more regular basis… life is hectic though and making the time is the biggest challenge. But no worries - we will prevail and will soon put another tutorial out. Your words of encouragement mean the world to us . Thank you 👊😁

    I put off doing a 3ft drop of 1.5 years because it got tin my head and for whatever reason I could not visualize myself doing it. Maybe because it was off a concrete slab...even though there is a series of drops just before it off rocks that I had no issue with, even one that was the same size or maybe even a little bigger. Once I finally committed to doing it, it was once of the easiest drops I had ever done.

    No issues with assembly for me ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
