Really like that you did this on hard tails. I ride a hard tail and it's tough to find videos on learning drops and landings on a hard tail. Thanks for the great video!
First of all thank you guys for all the support this past year, it's been so much fun watching April progress and getting to ride with her more and more. Honestly your support and positivity has helped inspire both of us more than you will ever know. We really hope you enjoy this video and get a chance to practice landing softer, this skill is one of the ones few people focus on, but really good riders always have a way of smoothing things out and really absorbing impacts with their body. If you have any questions at all let us know! Also just incase people ask, here is the ramp we used in the video - bit.ly/3zjaArM . Mtb Hopper was nice enough to send us this one to try out but like we said in the video a curb or curb cut is a great way to practice and that's how I learned at first :) Kyle
I’m 65, new to mountain biking and really enjoy learning from your videos. You guys taking the time to break things down whether it be landing softly in jumps, riding position, braking or whatever your teaching helps immensely. Thanks so much Kyle and April, you two are an inspiration!
This is truly one of the best MTB channels on RUclips for those wanting to hone their skills. Kyle's great instruction and April's steady progression are incredibly helpful.
Incredible progress! Watching the footage of Kyle vs. April closely, I think the biggest remaining difference is that Kyle lands with his legs very close to straight, maximizing the suspension effect of his legs, while April is contacting the ground a little more tucked which limits how much she can absorb the impact.
Just wanted to say … no matter how bad you are feeling right now please remember that a human body has an incredible ability to heal itself. It might take a while but it will happen. Please don’t give up. You are such a bright person. We all go through bad things in our lives. They either destroy us or help us to grow. My prayers is with you. Get better ❤️🩹 soon
This channel really thinks about its viewers who wants to learn IMPORTANT things in mtb world. Good job and thank you.👏 Saves us a lot of money on the ridiculous price of mtb schooling
Nice one! When I was at school I learnt judo. The first couple of months were mostly learning and practicing how to land: rolling forwards; rolling backwards; left shoulder first; right shoulder first; etc. Stopped you doing silly things like putting your arm out to try and stop the mass of your body from hitting the deck!
This is the first video I've seen that was about landing smoother. I ride a hardtail, luckily I came to the conclusion early on that I need to use my body as extra suspension. Glad someone made a video about smoother landing.
I just wanted to say thanks a lot for these videos. My partner has just got into mountain biking and is learning everything from scratch. These video's have been great for her to see April's progression and let her know that she's more than capable of doing the same!
I've watched many, many "how to jump" videos and I always felt that the landing aspect was glossed over. Thank you for making a video! Recently you've been adding April's thoughts on the tips that helped her the most. I really take a lot out of that section.
Thank you both for the tutorial videos. Being brand new to mountain biking and seeing the absolute highs of the coolest jumps and the lows of the hardest crashes can be very scary and intimidating. Coming back to your channel grounds me and helps me focus on the baby steps of progression so I don't feel so overwhelmed. The joy and positivity between you two is contagious and makes me excited to get out and try to learn the simplest of skills and go at my own pace. Love your videos!
Timely subject. My 60 year old knees have seen their fill of injuries and abuse, and it's starting to catch up with me. My knees, and bikes, thank you.
Love this one. Nobody’s really teaching like this. Very much appreciated. Other suggestions for vids: How to be in control of your bike v your bike being in control of you. Also, how to keep your feet on pedals when riding flats. Sounds silly, but…
@@amountainbiker2654 Thanks for the comment. Totally agree - and I'm not using (thank goodness). Have Vex Origin8 pedals on @wyattbikes Vista HT. Just got Five Ten Freerider shoes this spring. They've helped a bunch.
Great video guys, I'll also add that when casing/landing harshly, you can extend both your arms and legs to have more travel! Its like upgrading your legs suspension for free
Video idea 2) how to shift/climb. Timing and efficiency of shifting. How to gauge terrain. How to use the right gear to generate enough speed and when to stop pedaling on a climb.
Your vids are super good, not only informative but fun to watch. Kyle, you're a natural teacher and April so willing to send it. Where I live, Nor Cal, there are a lot of steep drops and I'd be pumped to see a video on riding those. Also you're interesting to watch, so more lifestyle mixed in might be cool. Thanks for the content and rubber side down
Thank you so much for this video! I love jumping things but I keep landing too hard and hurting my ankles. I’ve been afraid to hit the bigger jumps since but this is just the help I needed. 😊
I really enjoy the debrief on these skills videos. I think Kyle’s coaching style is highly effective, he is teaching the rider to do a self-evaluation. Informative and entertaining.
You are such a good instructor and patient too. I've been re-watching the vids and always find it informative as well as entertaining. I hope you are healing well and able to get on with your life soon. As always, best wishes to you both.
It's true. In all the years of riding at bike parks etc., I never thought about this aspect of landing a jump. I'm pretty sure I'm doing the stiff-legs thing. I'll start working on it tomorrow. Thanks!
I learn a lot every videos that you guys made, you exert efforts to give us a comprehensive, relevant MTB tips and guides. Thank you, more power to your channel.
great tutorial, i allways found slightly shifting your weight backwards at the moment of impact helps you concentrate on the knees and save your ankles by turning your down force into a forward force, bmx is a little different, it really is all about timeing, great job april, hope your feeling a bit better kyle
You guys are awesome! I have an idea for a video. Getting fitted properly on your bike and on the right size bike. I think so many people, new riders and even people who have been riding a long time (myself included) that aren’t riding either the right size bike for them, or they aren’t setup on their bike properly to ride at their best ability. It would be cool to see how to properly set your seat, stem lengths/heights, bar lengths, etc.. and if your riding the right size bike for your body type.
Love you guys as your videos are so pragmatic and realistic, like a teacher-student interaction. And April is just the right person to demonstrate that. Thank you for reminding how to land. 'Stay loose' is the mantra! 🤙
Your videos have helped me sooo much, went to my first park recently and your videos helped me so much on body position and confidence. Keep up the great work
great video again! and thumbs up for my coach Robbert (flowMTB) for starting off with excactly this skill, before progressing to Drop(to flat) and jumping. i also found that relaxing my body in the air makes for less chance on a "dead sailor" as well as a much more smooth landing. as you said, i was way to tense ,and resisted the landings, instead of absorbing it.
Thats so cool to hear! Give Robbert a big high five from us! Thats so cool he had you focus on it early. So few people ever even think about the landing part haha
Awesome video team 👑👑🙏🙏 This principle is the same in skateboarding and called a press in skate lingo. Timing and feel. Stay safe and great work once again 🙏🙏
Great vid guys April ‘s new song Heavy Cat ala smelly cat. Most importantly April said the most relevant action loosen up most people tense up and apply the death grip and posture which equals hard landings. Be one with the bike weedhopper!
Video idea 1) vid dedicated to the feet would be neat. It’s touched on in most videos but guidelines on where on the pedal to place the foot. Toe in toe out. Drop which heel when and with real flex or keep it supple. When you might want to switch the leading foot. Or even how to pedal properly
Yet another great video! Can't wait to practice softer landings. And, as always, I really appreciate the positivity of your presentation and the healthy dynamic you two have as a couple!
Thanks so much Wayne! Its been a lot of fun sharing these with you guys! April and I definitely have our ups and downs but i think at the end of the day we just try to treat each other as best friends and that has been the cornerstone of us being together :)
Awesome vid, thank you. This is something I hadn't really thought much about, but I'm starting to get more air time lately and have had more than a few instances where I could feel that ankle extension in a bad way. I will focus on this my next rides.
Yeah no problem at all! Its been something i have been saying to April for months but we never took the time to actually work on it and try to get some improvement! Hopefully it helps!
This is such a helpful video. This is the first video I've seen that focuses on soft landing using your legs. Makes so much sense, but the focus is on getting the air. Need to practice the end game. #Handycat
@@AprilRideMTB Totally my pleasure. Keep up the great work. I've just got back into mountain biking after 25 years off, and things have changed immensely, so your videos are invaluable. I hope one day to have the B***s to try the stuff April does. Big respect.
The Heavy Cat's smile gets bigger than it already was when she nails something perfect. That's fun. This is going to be super key for me to stay up on the wheels and out of the weeds. Great video!
Your RUclips channel is awesome! Here’s a video idea: What to do if you’re climbing up a steep hill and need to stop and retain control without rolling backwards and falling back. (How to use your brakes and body control). 🤙🏻
nice video. it's all about managing the impulse on landing. impulse is just change in momentum. impulse is a combination of force and time, so if you extend the time of the momentum change as you land, as Kyle says, the force will be less. it's the same principle as the airbags in cars.
good stuff as always. these are the Little things that come Naturally to me but hard to teach to others.. all this ankle Talk Im sitting her with a flufted up Ankle lol
great video! now that this is tackled, honestly i'm not too sure how i land when riding my bike. it's great to be subscribed and get notified as it becomes some sort of a reminder to check and be mindful of one's own techniques in order to correct flaws and continue best practices! you are both awesome! i'll try this tomorrow as it's near midnight from where i'm at! 😅 fans from the Philippines. John & Joanna
@@AprilRideMTB i think that's what i too shall be finding out tomorrow. sometimes we really don't realize things until we see it from a different perspective! keep being awesome guys! cheers!
@@AprilRideMTB you guys work really well together. So much fun. When is April going to teach you something? I know she's full of a lot of amazing info.
Great subject. I tense up on big features and the result is a harsh landing. I’ve been looking at bmx and trials riders that are experts at the soft landing.

Heyyy my dear friend,I sent a business inquiry email to you already! Let me know if you recieved it successfully from lettyswift525@gmail.com😊
Saturday mornings list: 1) Coffee 2) See what Kyle and April are going to share 3) Apply the lesson
Thats awesome! Hope you are having a great start to the weekend!!
3) send to girlfriend before we ride today!
My routine as well :)
4) order more mtb gear.

That's great to hear, thank you!!!
I feel like you guys are mindreaders. Every time I have an issue with something...you’ve made a video on how to fix it! Thanks K and A!!!
Awesome!!! 😊
You guys are awesome whatever questions i, have in mind you just answer it wow!
That's great to hear!!! 😊
As always, Kyle is the best skills teacher ever. Hell he could probably teach me calculus and I wouldn’t feel like an idiot.
hahaha 😊
dude... You are an amazing teacher. I am just stunned with how much progress April did this year alone. OMG i'm so jealous. :P
Game changer! So simple yet for some reason I never realized I wasn't bending my knees enough upon landing. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
