Lee, you are the most benevolent coach I have seen. Thanks for always showing us the best stuff. You have changed my riding for the better. Thank you so much. The world is a much better place not only because you are in it but, you are going the extra mile to help the rest of us.
Simply the best my friend I’ve been riding MTB hard for only a few years and want to thank you for keeping me safe with your words of wisdom teaching skills are on point
Lee. Really appreciate this sort of video. I've recently started jumping (at 52) inspired in no small part by your contributions on Joy of Bike AND an earlier video you did with a girl XC racer. This totally makes sense about why the smaller lippier jumps are harder and can buck you much easier. Thank you.
Hey Lee, what?!! I was there last week working on proper hinging and row/anti-row! We might have just missed each other 🙃 This is Brian who attended your clinic a couple weeks ago. I’ve been binging on your videos with Alex on Joy of Bike since that day haha. (And I didn’t know you had your own channel until yesterday.) Anyway, I plan to go here twice per week from now on, at least until I get your techniques correct and stored to muscle memory.🤙 Oh, and I just ordered a DJ, thanks to you and Alex in the “Do You Need a Dirt Jumper?” video 😁
Great point. I have come across this same issue at my local trail. The "beginner" jump section is more difficult and dangerous than the larger advanced jumps. This is due to the smaller jumps being steeper and causing more rapid reaction forces that a beginner will not have the reflex speed or muscle memory to accommodate. If skill progression is the objective, then why do builders design beginner jumps in this manner?
Good to see you back. Missed you. I couldn’t manage jumping last year even after much trying, hoping to focus again this year. My bunny hops and wheelies are improved though!
I first saw your clip with Dani Arman and teaching her to pull/row and 'pump the sh#t' out of the jump which made so much sense. That inspired me to try and get my ebike (heavy beast) to jump a little. Thanks so much mate, great videos that actually make sense. All the best.
Oh lord, wish I'd watched this before starting on a very short (and low) poppy jump, thinking small would be good. Dented my leg and wrecked my confidence.
Hi Lee, I prefer vids like this where your out in the field and even some demos be great. Still love but not so much of a fan of your home vids! At my local track there’s a double like this that I haven’t done yet, it has a few tight berms and rollers prior. So this makes loads of sense that you’ve got to be surgical on small stuff! 🤟🏼
Lee, loving your videos man, but you gotta get yourself a lavalier/lapel mic!! Just wanna hear that voice!! Seriously though thanks for all the great content. You’ve been getting me through this winter.
What’s up Lee. Hope all is well. Used to ride with you at valmont. Wound up in Chico for years and on your designed wildwood pump track with my kids. In Boise now. Come ride the jumps with us here!
Thank you for your videos, everything you post is gold! Please use a lavalier mic, good audio makes all the difference in videos and everyone should hear what you have to say clearly.
Did you say Pleasanton?? Oh man, we live close by that city wish I could have been there. I'll show this to my hubby he is at the jumping stage. I'm not, but loved the info makes so much sense. Thank you!!
You haven't popped up on my youtube algorithm feed for some time now. Nice to see you again.
Lee is such a great teacher
Love how you break down the specifics and get into the "why" and not just "Do this!" Helps people you teach become more capable riders!
Yes Mtb isn’t dead! You are good and nice video!
I subscribed to you and I do ride as well 😃
Thank you!

Pure Gold❤
Good information. Glad to see you back!
The appliance of science.
It makes so much sense.
Well done you biking/physics guru.
Thank you Sir.
LEE is MTB physics and logic GURU and he is my best teacher💪
Thank you!!
@@lee_likes_bikes hope one day me can expert all your skill 💪

Good explanation. I learned this by trial and error. Never could get the feel until I tried a larger jump.

Ignorance.
Been a while Lee - good to see you back
very well explained Lee... Ive seen stuff like that built by kids at our local park.. small but very kickie, and just dont feel good. I avoid em..
Great video, love how it all makes sense now. Looking forward to the next breakdown of the basics of riding features out on the trail.
Thank you sir.
Shame I can't like a video more once! This is both the clearest and most detailed explanation I've seen on this topic. Lee you are a gem.
Thank you!!
Looking forward to more great videos from you Lee...thanks
Good to see you back. Missed you. I couldn’t manage jumping last year even after much trying, hoping to focus again this year. My bunny hops and wheelies are improved though!
My favorite person to pick me up! Thanks Lee.

Lee, thanks for another awesome video. You have a way of simplifying things that always clicks with me. Thanks for the great content!
Namastoke indeed guru Lee
MISSED the NamaStoke Lee! Thanks for getting back to it brother!
Excellent explanation
Thanks
Glad to see you back. We were worried about you and Alex. Hope all is well.
Thank you. We've both been experiencing life changes. All for the best.
Oh lord, wish I'd watched this before starting on a very short (and low) poppy jump, thinking small would be good.

I prefer being out in a sunny bike park too!! I'll go on-scene vids like this whenever I can.
Lee, loving your videos man, but you gotta get yourself a lavalier/lapel mic!! Just wanna hear that voice!! Seriously though thanks for all the great content. You’ve been getting me through this winter.
As always, super helpful advice that makes sense! Thank you!

Hey!!! Boise is super fun. Rip it up out there!!
Very helpful informations
You’re the man Lee!
Namastoke to you sir!
Thank you for your videos, everything you post is gold! Please use a lavalier mic, good audio makes all the difference in videos and everyone should hear what you have to say clearly.
Great idea. It's time to step up this part of my game.
You have confirmed some long-held (fine, 18-month-held) suspicions.
Did you say Pleasanton?? Oh man, we live close by that city wish I could have been there. I'll show this to my hubby he is at the jumping stage. I'm not, but loved the info makes so much sense. Thank you!!
Yes! Pleasanton, CA in the East Bay. I should be back out that way soon.
Totally agree!
Hey, is Alex OK? You guys disappeared and some of us are legit concerned.
Namastoke
He's great. Just focused on other things right now. Namastoke.
Esta es muy buena informacion, muchas gracias y tienes razón.
Mmmm….interesting!!! Thank you!!!
I wish you had taught me physics … great stuff.
I'd love to be a school teacher. We'd have so much fun ... and really learn things. I say "we" because there's no teach without learn.
NAMASTOKE..!
Me watching this video while I heal from my broken collarbone I got nose-casing a "beginner" small jump:
"hmm yeah very useful information"
Nathan! Super bummed for you, Sir! When you’re healed up and ready, let’s get you back on the right track.
True
awesome
Man I so love it when the matriculation be comin ‘roun’
Sweet science stuff. Thank you. 🤪
