My goal in this video was to use the double blip technique to ride over the log and land softly on two wheels on the other side. The double blip technique is extremely tough to learn, especially on a full sized bike rather than a trials bike. But it’s something Ive been working on for a long time and had a bit of a break through today. I didn’t quite nail it but I will break it all down for you guys. We will go over what went wrong and what went right and then hopefully I can nail it on the next round.
So getting over a log this size with the double blip method can be intimidating. It’s not a problem to get over it with a more simple method such as using the skid plate (which I’ll show you guys later on), but the double blip is certainly more difficult. I definitely had to psych my self up for this one and really think about all the steps in my head before attempting it.
A lot of things need to come together with perfect timing to make this work. The things that I’m really focusing on are not coming in with a bunch of speed, punching the log with my front tire about 2/3’s of the way up, giving it that burst of throttle with the pop of the clutch to get the rear wheel to jump up the log, and making sure to get my weight back over the rear fender so the rear wheel doesn’t spin on the log.
I’m 24 and just started dirt biking. There is so much more to it than I originally thought. I love your videos and how you show your process, your mistakes, and how you deal with them and keep moving forward then celebrate in the end. You have a great mindset and it’s inspiring. You and your videos have been very helpful to me.
"It's huge!" That's definitely what she said
😂😂😂
She felt it was huge.
"its easy" lol jeeze i love megs brapp so much energy. crazy how talented she is!
Thank you :).
I love the emotional honesty you bring to your lessons. Lot of folks don't have the rocks to say "This is the part that scares me." but that is part of getting a new technique in the tool bag. You do a great job of showing all the good, bad, and progress that comes from practice. And that, along with the technique, is what makes everyone a better rider, practice!
Thanks Myron! I really try my best to be as real as possible in hopes that I can inspire my viewers to try it themselves :D.
Watching you slide off the side to touch is bad ass. So many people think you have to flat foot a bike to ride it. You rock.
Hobblecreekkid Thats exactly my point when I hear people complaining about too high bikes. Many enduro riders will never be able to get even two foot tips down. Move your a... to the side, get one foot down and thats enough. I am 1.71m with a 30“ inseam and have no problem that way with my KTM 790 R!
It is amazing how dirt bikes and talent have progressed. Megs would have been a Tier One Pro when I was a teenager. Jarvis is already a god winning Erzberg again, number #5, technically #6! I can only imagine how far the sport will progress in another 20 years. Thanks to technology good riders can share what they've learned. I wish I had this resource when I was a kid. I could have been a contender lol. The younger readers may not get the reference.
You could have just moved like three feet to the right and gone right around the log. JK nice work Megs that takes serious commitment to use this technique on a log that size.
Hahaha very true 😂. Unfortunately, like many other dirt bike riders, I am sick in the head and enjoy putting myself through the ringer hahah.
Megg you tackled that log like a bad ass! Im proud you made a vid about this. I love this manuever everytime ive ever seen a stump, log, rock im Sending it!
I never knew this maneuver had a name. Double blip. So "double blippin" is sometimes one of the few options in couple parts of my woods. The core technique is tricky. When its landed perfect on 2 wheels, the excitement is thru the roof!!
It should be practiced to get out of certain scenarios.
Kinda feels like a bunny hop when done smooth. Compression and jumping is essential. Sweet spot on throttle is a must. Most of all don't sissy out mid log. We all have done it. Lol
Btw we appreciate you hauling your camera in the woods to film this. That minor inconvenience on a bike gives us content when were in the AC!
Stay safe! ✌
Megs Braap what gear are you in when you’re doing this?
I love the “then we’re not going to freak out”. Haha awesome! Funny stuff there.
☺️😂
Thank you so much for all your videos. i am an experienced rider, but i am 67, so, not too sound sexist, its helpful to see a smaller person without the upper body strength of a pro male rider getting over such obstacles.
Make sure to use your body and jump up at the correct time. Really pop that clutch, the instant engagement of the clutch will make a huge difference!
We. As in my 8yr old grand daughter / me are watching ..n she loves the fact your a girl. We use your advice and shrink the logs ..so far shes digging it all ..so much learned and the bond we've made ..cant thank you enough ..gr8 vids
Really nice, showing us your progression helps us get out there and practice, look forward to seeing you perfect that and hearing what you discover next
Instructions not clear.. I have a Protaper emblem stamped on my forehead :)
😂
Lmao that's hilarious
Helmets go with dirtbikes.
Lmfao 😂😂😂
OMFG 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Megs, ya still made it over the log be proud! You’re a way better rider Then I am. Cheers to you!!
brett kovak budy she never said she wasnt good or not proud
Good job tomboy!!
You’re bringing back good memories..
My wife was crazy and brave as you on a 1980 cr250.
Thank you and keep it safe.
Its so great to watch you Megs a very talented but "non pro" rider. The 6 foot tall professional riders make it look so easy and that can be kind of discouraging for someone learning.
Hey, Megs. Loved it. It’s your work and determination. I was routing for you. Then you did it. I was mentally tackling you. Screaming at you. U DID IT. U DID IT. YEAH.
What I like the most in your videos is that you make it all more humanly possible. Seeing those well paid professionals doing it discourages us.
Italeao Thanks man! That’s exactly what I’m going for!
So I am used to doing this on my full Enduro. I tried it on my KTM 640 adventure on 50/50 tires. Got the first log and on the second. I spun the back hit the front on the face of the log and stopped dead. Laughed my head off and went around the log. Keep up the great riding. Your awesome.
WOOOW GREAT JOB!!!!! I mastered this a looooong time ago aboard a 1982 Suzuki RM 250Z. It was actually a phenomenal trail bike and it handled large logs almost effortlessly when I finally got the balls to commit to the practice. I had a really nice pipe guard but no engine guard on that bike. Never had any problems. I liked that bike so much I went out and bought another one when my first one got worn out. Wish I still had it. One of my all time favorite bikes, and I've had 48 in my long off road riding career. I'm 54 now. I had those RM's when I was in my teens and early 20's My current ride is a 2010 Husaberg FE 570. Love this torque monster!!!!
I admire your relentless pursuit for perfection . Thanks for showing how hard that is and how much practice needs to be put in .
Great video. You are so much braver than I am.
I rode horses over jumps that tall and never thought anything about it. I can't dig up the guts to jump a log that big with my bike.
It is really great to see you working through this jump and not panicking because you skewed up. It makes me want to work harder at learning this technique.
Thank you for sharing.
I get that theres more to the technique, but you still get over the obstacle!
and those "it finally clicked" moments are why I ride!
Exactly! Those moments feel so great. They motivate me to keep pushing and bettering my skills!
Great vid! I now understand the concept. I would be happy with any of the times you made it over that I didn’t land on my arse! Look forward to the follow up vid!
your victory dance was just adorable and awsome nice work
Love seeing the hard work and being able to enjoy the outcome !! Great job
It helped. It shows you have to work for it. WE all have to work for it. Cool video!!
Heck yeah! It takes tons of practice and lots and lots of fails before it all starts coming together.
Gotta give this young man credit for the effort. Good job.
Thanks! ☺️
Love your energy! Sub texts while doing slow mo on the attempts was perfect. Thanks Megs
Aaron Slagman Thank you! I’m glad you liked it!
I have been enjoying watching and learning from your vids. You ain't no slouch!! That takes balls.
R G Thank you!
Great vid on a difficult issue. I recemtly started practicing a big 75cm profile loader tyre that is hardly the axle length of the bike. That lets you stop on top, breath, and come down on your own time when ready. This seems to really help me dreak down the up an down. Log and bigger rock started to have a new peace to them.
Thumbs up for all The effort and happines this video brings😍
Your videos have been more helpful to me than many of the others I've seen! You make the challenging stuff seem not necessarily easy, but far more achievable! Thank you!
Great video. Entertaining and educational. The best way to learn and teach!
Thanks Dave!! I really appreciate that :).
@Megs Braap
, I'm no expert at this, but when I compare your attempts to Quinn (in the suspended log video), you are throwing your hips forward like you are trying to unweight the rear and roll over the log. This seems to be letting the rear suspension unload after the rear tire hits the log. Quinn unweighted the bike vertically, then immediately moved his hips rearward and held pressure on the rear suspension while the rear tire hit the log. This kept the rear suspension compressed and the rear tire in contact with the log.
Megs character really comes out in this vid as she is really pumped and having a great day : )
Great video thanks! I'm 8 weeks into owning a trials bike and the double blip/zap is very tough and intimidating to get down
Wow, great videos. You are providing some great tutorials for even old school guys like me. Nicely done.
You’re such an inspiration megs! Love your attitude!
Thanks for posting this. Nice to see the the pros (I consider you a pro!) and their many attempts. Often on youtube we just see the glory shots :)
Staying on the throttle for the second blip is the hardest part for me, it’s kinda a mental hurdle as your brain is telling you to let off...I’m trying to over come this by picturing the time I tucked my front tire under a large log and took a one way trip over the bars. Slowly but surely reinforcing it into my thick skull that it’s better to keep that front tire high! Great vid Megs, keep on braaping ✊️
Meg your energy is contagious
Awesome, thanks!
Exactly what i needed as a learner to understand more about log hops - thanks. (needless to say, it may be a while before I pre book the hospital room with a view and commit to a Jurassic log like that! )
Hahah! Well I'm glad you enjoyed the vid! Start on smaller logs and work your way up to one like this once you start to really understand the technique.
In other vids, faces big cliffs and solid walls of rocks...no hesitation and pile drives up it. Huge log...psych and hesitation. Funny how things are in life. Great video!
It's not the size of the log that was intimidating. It was performing this new technique on a log that size that was getting to me. I was hesitating because I have a million steps going through my head that I'm trying to time perfectly. If I came up to it and didn't feel like I had my shit together, I'd hesitate and loop around for another go. If it were just "get over this log any way possible", I have smashed over it without hesitation hahaha.
That girl knows how to ride! What a commitment and dare-devil! Greetings from Belgium
Try adding a bit of rear brake when compressing the suspension. It makes lifting the front wheel a lot easier an more consistent.
You're awesome Megs....your enthusiasm and bravery are infectious and I would be surprised if your subscriber numbers skyrocket! Your analysis is great, but id love to hear more about your progression of your clutch pop and synchronised throttle.
It’s easy lmao! I thought you were serious there for a second
Wow. Love the dedication. I am a fan.
Nice! I too am having the same problem, haven't perfected the blip and the longer the time in between practicing this does my mind in and end up nose down most of the time.
Did that once while a bunch of guys I didn’t know were hanging by this log on a uphill...just nailed i
Felt so easy,I didn’t even looked back,they prob thought I was unreel,especially on a DR650
Went back the next day try doing it....man did I ever crashed in a bad way.to this day I can’t do it
Love your passion.....
Thank you!! You're wonderful. Really nice explanations. I hope can get it in practice soon.
Great video, nice concise, clear explanation and demonstration and youre simply so entertaining to watch. Great energy! :)
Great video, not enough of these around. It looks so easy when done right (Jarvis etc), but reality is very different.
Thanks man! I'm really glad you found this helpful. I really like to keep it real on here so people can see that anyone is capable as long as they are willing to put in the work.
Great video, I'm currently working on the same technique. Thanks, can't wait to get out there!
That was pretty sweet I'd say, good job!!
Thanks! ☺️👊
Maybe try dropping a couple psi on the rear tire on the slow mo it looks like your tire is really hard causing it to bounce off the log rather than grab and crawl up the log
That was a fun intro I feel like there is some truth to it LOL this was a really good technique video The slow Mo was excellent reference material to help someone get the courage to try this
Awesome! I'm really glad you liked it. Thanks for the positive feedback ☺️.
This video makes me feel unskilled
The moment you succeeded I felt happy for you too
If you can just Trust your body reflexes,.. And your throttle control its AMAZING what you can do. I'm 61 and the other day rode a GAS GAS. Still muscle memory kicked right in! I used to ride N.E.O.T.T.
very good progress oure doing good. so far all attempts were more of a splatter technique - your rear doesnt jump into the air as it should from preloaded chassis, but with ur commitment you will inevitably nail it
I have just found your channel via Challenge with Graham Jarvis on the waterfall. Wonderful videos. Thanks
Quan Tran Awesome! Thanks so much for supporting my videos!
I've read the comments. It is indeed a "Jap Zap". I think you could slow your entry speed down. The reason the rear wheel bounces on the log is due to your timing. You have to get the rear shock unweighted before it touches the log. Body control is key. The step no one has mentioned yet is to jump with the bike. Leg drive will get the rear shock unloaded. Here's a couple good how to videos.
Ryan Young is the guy in the videos. I found a second (older) clip with him that is a bit longer.
1. ruclips.net/video/qfhsonpLhv8/видео.html
2. ruclips.net/video/eDCHHIbGX_Y/видео.html
and hit higher with the front wheel, your getting too much rebound and be smoother on the gas, don't let off it just drops the front end.
Awesome, I need to practice a big log, I've been using old telephone poles
Its always tougher than it looks, and logs that size are intimidating.
Good onya Megs! You're a bloody charger!
Wow nerves of steel! I have a ktm 690 enduro r that i have supermotoed and i have a wr 450 f that i never ride because i always want to ride super moto..watching your vids is making me desperatly want to ride the 450..thanks!
Motivation....... there's cars on the highways... most are playing with phones and can't drive their thumb up their ass... I'm a trucker I see it all day. Play in the dirt and live longer.
Dam good vid thanks and brill tips to , I am going to try this out when I am out next time if I find a handy log and room on the other side to crash.🇬🇧👍
I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :D.
You're more courageous than I am. No logs around here, but there are some nice granite rocks that are begging for us to go over them.
All right Meg's man up! And get some elbow pads!
Awesome effort, if I may offer one little suggestion, slow down just a little, start your wheely sooner, get the front wheel up 3 feet before the log, you want the front tire to just kiss the top of the log, then blip. You'll have more time and control.
Nice that’s a good sized log👍👍 my only tip is to try it slower . Will give you more time to place the front wheel onto the log , compress then clutch up and over . You are doing more a launch due to your speed and smashing the front wheel into the log . But this is way more useful in a classic enduro race or even trail ride situation anyway.
Yep! There is a fine line between hitting it too fast, and hitting it too slowly. I definitely came in a little quick on some of the attempts. Thanks for the feedback!
Great job!
Lean back for the pop, forward to flatten bike out then back again when the rear starts to climb.
Great attitude dude. Practice practice and wala! Success! Good vid!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Meg took her foot off the peg, I saw it! :D
That victory dance was funny.
It was a special moment haha!
Idk if you have the right springs on the bike for you but you need to commit to compressing the rear suspension more with your body weight/legs before hitting the log. It's a highly overlooked factor and the reason why your rear wheel is hitting low down on the log causing you to get " too much air " on the rear.😉 took me a while to figure that out!
Your hip back motion on the initial wheelie is a little aggressive. This makes it really hard for you to get your weight back forward again as the wheel strikes the log, and you apply the blip of power. Watch Graham. His hip back motion is not as aggressive, but then he comes forward a lot quicker. I think he does this by spooling up the motor a little bit more, and dropping the clutch a little faster on the initial wheelie pop. Also looks like your suspension could be a little softer.
Ok if you can bottle up some of the courage and sell that it would help lol. Putting in practice time is the only way to get better so seeing you work at it reminds and inspires me to do the same. Wonder if my wife will mind if I just pull up the grass in the back yard and put in some obstacles….
I wish I could haha! Then maybe I'd make some money at this 😂😂. I think log obstacles in the back yard is a GREAT idea by the way. I don't think she'll mind...
@@megs_braap No I don't think she would, she's the best! I think you're a pretty genuine kinda person, and that has an appeal along with your mad skills. That's the making of a brand right, you just doing you. Like practice putting the time in on the channel and coaching will eventually provide some return I suspect. Oh and the march! I'd slap a Megs Braaps sticker on the bike and sport a t-shirt. Not a hat guy but others are. Anyway big fan and always enjoy your vids.
Bow to the woman with bigger balls than I have.
Great commitment to learning. 👍
your determination is impressive
I find if you just belt into the log on a DR650, it just shatters into pieces.
Megs is the perfect woman !!! And simply gorgeous too. Cheers to you doll.
Well done! That looked like hard work, I think that I would just ride around it! ;-)
Here in Vermont we have to search out class 4 roadsWhich aren’t anything like the beautiful trails that you have to ride! Great video!!
Awwe that's a bummer! You'll have to come out this way and check out some of our beautiful single track ☺️.
Great vid
U seem to be a great kid
Now I never been on a dirt bike
But it seems you need to stay on the gas longer to prevent the back tire from unloading too soon
And u really don't want your rear tire to be on top of the log
Just on the face
The rear unloading up and in the air should level the bike out before you land
And the rear tire spinning could be just the log or tire or too much throttle
I think it's most likely correctable with throttle
That's what I see
God's speed
That's awesome I will one day be able to do this on my 690... I hope 👊🤪
It's possible! I think Chris Birch does it on big bikes haha!
@@megs_braap well if it requires the skill of Chris Birch I will not likely live long enough to do it lol
@@RodNeufeld it's just practice. I'm only 5.6 and spend most of my time on a cr500af. Might be cheating a bit having it in a newer frame but I find on the bigger bikes it is probably easier. Give it a light twitch and the front tire gets pretty light.
Now I just need to get comfortable to do that on a 600lbs adventure bike
As the front suspension rebounds off the log, de weight by jumping with the same force as if you were to jump on top of the log without the bike. We should be able to see your feet actually come off the pegs when you jump.
Key is loading the rear susp. Enough to get traction.
GO MEGGS! 🤙
☺️👊👊
I do that on my HD Street Glide all the time😜 hehe
Wow we my friend! You are awesome on a bike! Lol love it! 💪💯
Terrell Spivey Thank you! I appreciate it!
@@megs_braap oh you're more than welcome! I trail ride quads a lil bit and have ridden with dirt bikes trail riding and to see you do something like that is amazing! Lol Keep up the great work!
Great job meg, just being a trials rider I have to point this out, what you are actually doing is a jab zap, a double blip dosnt use any clutch it's an older technique from when no one used the clutch that much. I always find jab zaps better on big bikes anyway, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the feedback!
At first I was like! Then I was like Subbing!
TRUMU Thanks!
You are awesome you got so much energy keep it up
Nice work!
Thanks!
