      I remember my early 20's when there was an officer running radar in our neighborhood...I had my Robinson BMX 20" and was asking if he could tell me how fast I was. With a 44/16 gear and 175mm cranks and a 145lb body with a 30 inch inseam... 34. Speed limit was 25. I thanked him for letting me see...he didn't wanna give me a ticket and be ridiculed in court for pulling over a kid on a bike.
      Fastest I've ever been on a road bike was 54mph also around same time period on a Specialized Allez 54 cm. Down a very steep short hill where it was hard to keep up with pedaling...
      So yeah.. on a dirt trail with less ability to just mash the pedals and not die with rocks/roots/wildlife etc.... I'd also be skeptical...
      Trying to get my funds right so I can put some bikes back together...
      I'm 51 now and still have that kid in me that wants to ride bikes and jump stuff. I just never got beyond the no handers and my feet were never wanting to leave the pedals...still love riding. I am no R Williams with those bike flips! Crazy stuff to watch!

      According to my Garmin watch, so who knows if it was correct, the fastest speed I've ever achieved was 39mph. Not on a trail but a very steep dirt road in the mountain neighborhood I use to live in. Very straight and very long. Needless to say, my butt was puckered the whole time. On a trail, the fastest my watch recorded me was 25mph. Again, very long steep straight section of trail. I don't do that much anymore...but I'd like to. Going up the trail? I'm thinking if I achieved 5mph it would be a milestone.

    That story about what people think mtb is, reminds me of when I started taking my son with me on trails with a trail a bike. He was maybe 4. When told non riders that I took him with me they lost the color in their face and had a far off stair like I had just pimp slapped them. I know they must have had every old Mountain Dew add or whatever going through their minds, that’s on them. Same continues as he got older. What people don’t realize is that this is all learnable, individual skills. When he first started to ride on his own bike, he walked a lot. But we kept on the same trail loop for years, he kept getting braver, and I’d praise him for riding through something he had been walking through for years. He is 12 now, and we start every ride with a new skill, we run drills till he is ready to ride and he chooses to use or not use what he has learned. Sometimes it’s weeks later when he does use it, sometimes instinctively. Teaching kiddos and having them light up when they get the technique mid trail, is one of the best things ever.

    Hi Seth,
    I just ran some calculations:
    On the Banana Cannon, the theoretical speed (assumption of ideal conditions) required to clear the 17ft (5.18 metres) gap would be 24.1 mph (38.79 km/h), which is 7.1 mph (11.43 km/h) off of the measured 17mph (27.36 km/h) and 10.1 mph (16.25 km/h) off of your prediction of 14 mph (22.53 km/h). The accuracy error of this calculation is therefore 41.74%.
    On the double after the Banana Cannon, the theoretical speed would be 16.07 mph (25.86 km/h), which is only 0.93 mph (1.5 kilometres per hour) off of your prediction of 18mph - the error would only be 5.5%.
    In theory you should have gone at least 3.3 ft (1.01 metres) into the air.
    In order to clear the snake pit gap of 7 ft (2.13 metres), in theory you would need a velocity of 11.7 mph (18.83 km/h), 1.3 mph (2.09 km/h) less than the measured speed of 13 mph - error rate 10%.
    On average, your guesses were on average 88.24 % accurate.

    • @unlikehybrid8268
      @unlikehybrid8268 Год назад

      @@zmfb No these calculations only account for a passive jump, so basically just rolling over the lip in order to get air.
      More advanced physical models of jumps incorporate complex systems of differential equations, for which I am probably underqualified.
      However, due to the difference between the measured and the theoretical velocity, it can clearly be seen that preloading the suspension and the rider actually performing jumping motion lowers the required speed by quite a bit.

    It is totally physics, and your high school physics teacher can trivially calculate it to a very high degree of accuracy. Wind resistance for the brief time you are airborne has little effect, and the rest is just a parabola. Easy to calculate from speed, angle, distance. It's very straightforward and there's a definite, easy to calculate, right answer.
    The fudge factor that lets MTBers think that it is intuition is how much extra control they have on top of the basic physics. A pop from the lip basically adds kinetic energy (speed) and you go farther. Tucking the bike up under you doesn't change your trajectory at all, but it means you can go "farther" because your wheels are magically higher than they were, so you can save yourself from a case if your speed was too low. Conversely with too much speed you can extend your body and push your wheels lower to get them to contact sooner, or even angle the bike to force one or the other wheels to get on the ground and give you some control before it's too late. Or change your position to be able to handle the larger than expected shock you're about to experience because you went too far.
    So in other words the intuition (the knowledge of experience) has less to do with approach speed (thought that is still an important factor) and more to do with how much control you have when you are about to go into the air and you realize from that vast experience that you botched it, and have to make an adjustment to land it.
    A good followup video would be to find someone who knows the physics and can do the trivial calculations, and then experimentally see how much control you have to save the landing when you don't hit the magic number. It would probably be at least +/- 10%, and it might be more. And it almost certainly depends on the skill and experience of the cyclist. It would also be fun to see what happens if you could force yourself to make zero adjustments during the jump, and let speed and physics 100% dictate how and where you land.

  • @halfgeek1394

    It's hard to gauge speed on a bike. In the woods, the trails are so narrow and rough that you feel more movement and have the blur affect from your peripheral vision. This will make you feel faster than you are. My fastest speed on a trail was probably 30mph, if my phone was accurate, and that was at a bike park going full tuck and well beyond spun out in my fastest gear. I hit 50mph on my hardtail last year on a dirt road using the same phone as reference, and on a road bike I reached 51 or maybe a little more given GPS. Those times I felt fast only because of the wind, and I was thankful to be wearing glasses. Those speeds, though I know I only hit for maybe 5 seconds at the very bottom of a hill, are a lot harder to reach than you may think.
    30-40mph on a road bike is common for most fast descents. 18-22 is common for most singletrack descents. Though of course these numbers change depending on the trail and conditions.

    It’s a parabolic function that includes friction and atmospheric drag. Speed isn’t constant which makes acceleration one of the most important functions of hitting jumps, not speed. You need to be marginally speeding up taking off the lip! Which is why pumping is important (centrifugal force). What’s beautiful is you’re right, our brains do make this intuitive and you don’t need a degree to figure it out, but it’s a very simple dynamics problem here on earth that a physics teacher would take 5 mins solving. 5:46 great video

    The physics teacher dig reminded me of one of my favorite jokes.
    A butcher, a rancher, and a physicist wash up on a desert island. After exploring, they find two cows and a bull are the only meat on the island at all. The butcher says "This is great news! Each of these animals will yield five hundred to eight hundred pounds of meat. At roughly 1,000 calories per pound, that should be enough food to keep us alive for months until we get rescued."
    "You're missing the bigger picture," the rancher says. "We can breed them and then we'll have an endless supply of veal, plus the milk the cows give. Supplemented with fish and fruit, we could live for years off these three animals."
    "This is true," the physicist says, "but I'll bet we can do better."
    The rancher and the butcher look at her and ask "how do we do better than veal and milk?"
    The physicist draws back, thinks long and hard, and says, "well, let's suppose three spherical cows in a vacuum..."

    Change MPH to KPH: While ON press and hold the trigger then press the button under the LCD, and vice versa. I have one of these radar guns I use for dodgeball.

    Well at this distance and speed you can neglect the air friction. Once you are in the air it's approximately parabolic trajectory. Now you can calculate the slowest speed and check whether jump will still work.
    You can also design jumps precisely for the certain speed. Not just guessing, but knowing pretty exactly "I have the slope angle at the takeoff X degrees. This means at the speed V it'll give me so much height".
    You can tweak you trail to be more fun knowing this facts.

    You mentioned you estimated 14 MPH but actually were clocked at 18 MPH.
    An interesting note on that is there's a thing called the cosin effect with radars. Radars are most accurate when you're going directly at (or away from) them. That almost never happens and you get a little bit of an angle. It's only measuring how fast you're approaching the radar unit. In other words, you are actually going faster than the readout shows, and how much depends on how much angle you have toward the radar.

    Seth do you have any tips on mentally prepare for my first jump?
    I can bunny hop in parking lots. I know how to absorb/pump bumps but when I’m about to actually get any air my brain just tell me if I make any mistake while my tires are 1 inch off the ground all hell would break loose and I’ll abort the jump.

      Learning X, it does seem really daunting the first time you try to jump a bike, but the biggest thing that I’ve found to help me is to mentally commit once you have started going. Give yourself about 10-20 feet of space to decide whether or not you are committed, but once you get within 5 feet of the ramp, it’s go time. Second: start small. It will pay off eventually by (hopefully) not hurting as badly when and if you crash. Best of luck to you, and remember that all hell won’t break loose just for trying! Good luck!

    • @masongorski7845
      @masongorski7845 Год назад

      find a small jump and keep trying it and going farther until u get it, as long as you know the technique and can start to apply it you will build confidence just by doing it

    • @stevencole7331

      I am not a big jumper and never will but I jump small humps . According to my Garmin it gets me 9 feet of length in air as the farthest I have gone . My first attempts left me nose heavy . I went back and forth with it and finally am ok doing those small humps . I am fortunate I have never crashed doing that but everything else I have with broken bones . Best bet is to go to a clinic so you can be observed what your doing and teach the correct way . Also you don't have to jump . Many and maybe most don't .

    5:40 Mechanical Engineer here. Kinda have to agree with that statement. This stuff is way too comlicated for school physics equations. You'd have to solve a multibody dynamic system and even that won't be enough as through pumping or pedalling, the rider is actively able to put energy into the system while at the same time actively changing the center of mass. Plus friction and air resistance and so on.

    Fun fact:
    The GPS system does not tell you the average speed during two points, it actually tells you the "instantaneous" velocity in each of those two points. The GPS uses doppler effect to give out such a precise and quick measurement.
    The "slow part" of GPS is just your phone that can communicate with the satellite only once per second :)

  • @johnjohannesjuan
    @johnjohannesjuan Год назад

    Well done video! More unit conversion to metric would have been nice though. I guess a large part of a flowy feeling comes from the ideal speed of a trail being somewhat constant.
