- Sure it helps to be a pro rider like Dani Arman, but even the best riders (especially endurance types) need a little help once in a while. Dani came into our session with on-point pumping technique. This helped her progress quickly and safely to jumping. If you follow our channel, you already know that pumping and jumping require identical skills and movement.

''I want to get air'' The only acceptable answer to ''why do you wanna jump?''
Exactly!
Achieved air last weekend for the first time and it was just sooo cool. :D
This girl's attitude is just phenomenal. Bravo!
It's so satisfying when you finally clear those jumps and feel how smooth it is to land in the sweet spot. Once you get your front tire over the back of the table and feel a taste of the smoothness, it motivates you to commit and put the whole bike in that sweet spot.
This is one of the best jump tutorials I've seen. Thanks so much for putting it out there.
Literally at the bike park watching this video on the chairlift up.....
I'm 48 years old and I just hit a tabletop using the anti-row and I finally know it feels like to fly!!! That weightlessness is the most addictive feeling..
Great video pulling the bike into me the anti row has fixed all my issues and fears now I'm in control and flying through the air..
Woohoo!
I've watched a shitload of jumping videos and riding tutorials and you sir, are a legend. This is such a fantastic video and explanation, the editing, the technical and simplicity. This is such a great example of how real youtube videos like this are KING.
Appreciate that, Teej. I've been teaching 20 years now, and still learning everyday!
I watched it again the second time, 2 months later, after trying different techniques on the pump track, this video makes so much sense. Thanks Lee.
I can't believe all the good information online these days. I'm 55 and been riding mtb since I was 19. I've done a lot of scary stuff but seeing it this ways is so informative. I have a 5 year old boy that I use all this info with. Thanks Lee. Thanks to you as well Dani. Good luck racing.
This is so helpful. I need to delay my row into the jump and get more boost!
This is it! I watched went to pump track and got some air. Feels good. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge!
Thanks, I came here after watching joy of bikes, I hope this channel takes off, keep it up .
It's been more than a year since I picked up the "Mastering Mountain Bike Skills" book and I'm consistency amazed at how much it has changed my view of the terrain while I'm out riding my bike. I honestly cannot believe what "heavy feet, light hands" along with attempting to always produce "sine waves of love" via rowing and anti-rowing has allowed me to go through unscathed. Thank you for sharing yours and Mr. Lopez's wisdom in that book! I realise how much there is to learn and improve on and I'm humbled and excited to continue my journey toward mastering the art of shredding! I hope one day we get the chance to ride together! All the love and all the power to you and the other shredders out there! BRAAAP!
YESSSSSS!!!!!
What a great teacher and SUCH an enthusiastic pleasant student!
thanks for this awesome video, Dani is awesome and Lee is a wonderful teacher!!!!
I totally clapped at 20:55. Nice work!
Such a simple and elegant explanation. Dude knows best. I had to sub.
That head popping up comment was exactly what I needed! Fixed that and the hips and hinge all fell into place. Thanks, Lee!
Dani already has skills, she did great on this, its good to see a great rider like her that understands what she is doing already, an can see how to improve so easily,, she makes you look good, great vid.. thanx...to both of you !!!!
Thanks mate, i have been trying to teach my friend to jump and i couldn't find the words to describe why he was getting thrown forwards but this will really help :)
this is exactly what i am doing ,,, standing up, pushing my head high and fwd ... doing it all and too early ,,,, gotta try to keep my head low and row .... looking fwd to trying this ... ive watched SO MANY vids and nobody has made this clear befor .... THANKS Lee
You are welcome!!
It helps if you have good jumps. The difficulty i'mn having is in teh UK we just don't have nice mellow jumps. They're either flat launches or stupid super swoopy things or really gnarly death traps.
Just bought your book this week.
It is absolutely fantastic.
Thanks mate.
The German translation is great, too.
Thank you!!
This is the best description of jump body position and timing I’ve seen, can’t wait to try and improve my riding with these tasks and drills 🤘🏼
Such a perfect Teacher and Student combo..gotta try this tomorrow for first time,,crossing finger,, 🤘
Loved the theory and how it was explained - Sine waves and rowing!
Thank you so much! After watching many tutorials and having no success, this is the one that helped me progress. For me it is focusing on pumping my legs harder. That seems to stop me trying to pull too much with my arms and lose balance. Love your videos! I'll keep working on it over here in NZ :)
I have learned a lot from this video. So many other riders teach a "pop" technique or even to pull up on the bars. This tutorial makes it all about one simple pumping technique. I can't wait to go and give it a try.
Let me know how it goes!
Excellent instructional vid . Tells me I need to up the pumping skills and the only jumps I've been clearing were mostly speed bunny hopping
Ah yes! I've been there too.
That wave drawing with the table top and gap blew my mind. So simple. THANK YOU!
Lee, I'm 59 years old, and I have being watching lots of How to Jump tutorials, many different approaches, some good and others no so good really. This one... I think you nailed it! Your recipe has every needed ingredient in the exact quantity and order... Best Tutorial ever! Thanks so much.
Thank you! Learn all the details on jumping plus every other aspect of bike setup and kung fu at www.llbmtb.com.
Learning from doing something wrong, but understanding what you did wrong. Hard work will always pay off.
I always tell people that PROPER TECHNIQUE = SAFETY and these vids are super important for the safety of riders trying to develop their skills. Same thing goes in snowboarding when going off jumps. The technique for a small jump is largely the same as a big jump, but the commitment, confidence, and muscle memory has to be there.
This is by far the best jump tutorial and you both are just such wonderful beings!! It's amazing to watch you having fun and a good time 🎉 it made me completely understand my mistakes and what I need to do, thanks a bunch!! 🙏🙏
Thank you so much.
You are an amazing teacher! congrats!
Thank you!
You're an excellent teacher. Love watching these vids, especially with you teaching someone already proficient at biking.
After watching many tutorial videos I’m glad I watched yours.The way you explained made sense . I tried it at the trail today and I could feel the difference. Thank you!
Right now im learning with videos and so far thats the best explanation how to learn jumping.
What a great teacher!!!! Thanks dude! it all makes sense now! rowing and being lazy! cant thank you enough!!🤜🤛
Damn it ...that was beautiful to watch her progression, must be my 10th view and each time it makes me smile celebrating her success....
Thx Lee, a really thoughtful demonstration of how to slow your row through the jump (leverage the pull with your hands against the pushing of your feet/hips throughout the row) to compress the suspension throughout the jump. It really is a different and possibly simpler explanation of the fundamental suspension load / open up movement and its timing I have seen in other jumping videos I have watched over the years. I really wish I could join you in several of your courses.
Yes! Sensei/Professor Lee reveals some critical mountain bike science.
I feel like I’m in the boring class at school, but he explains everything so good
She sooo stoked. ^^
Felt like that last weekend - first time Bike Park, first time getting some air. :D
Propably not the cleanest of technique but it felt smooth and save, so I guess I did the essentials right... with no small helpf from Lee and Alex videos!
Lee, thank you so much this video. It has made a tremendous impact on my jumping ability. The head down has made a world of difference in my approach!!!
Best tutorial on jumping i have ever seen. Most people out there start to teach first on how to american bunny hop, which is necessary skill but not easy to achieve in short time. Instead pumping is very easy to learn and applying it's principal to jumping will give faster results and motivation to keep developing as a MTB rider. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes!
Awesome video. Made a significant difference to my jumping.
Really nice to see a good teacher and a good student working well together. This is really useful to a learner jumper, I know I make ALL these mistakes right now so I'm keen to learn
I'm so glad I found this channel.
Cant wait to try it out when the weather is a little better. Thx!
I like that your style of teaching teaches us to do the "feature" and keep going. Most other channels just focus on the feature alone.
Thank you!
hi Lee, just found this awesome video.. love to try it on my next jump.. thank you!
Dani's super cute with such an infectious smile; it's great to see her do so well... and we learn something as well!
Hi Lee after watching you on joy of bikes I found this vid and it’s just awesome! You have officially learned me to jump with your “row/antirow” technique! I’m now jumping anything and everything, even the tiniest of jumps.
Thanks dude!
Greetings, Salutations and God bless you!😎👍🏻
thanks for the tips i'm trying learn to jump this helped .
This is an excellent tutorial, thank you for posting so we can learn! I loved the universal guide to ripping. BRAAAAAAP!
I watched this vid when it first showed up. I didn't get it. Seems totally understandable now after lots of trial & error. A few pump tracks and jump lines. So nice you related the pumping rowing action and keeping head down through the lip. Thanks . Have fun at sunset ,Erie trails. One of my favorites in that area
I'm absolutely going to get a lesson from you at some point.
You were awesome! And so sweet and stoked when you progressed!
Lee, you're the coach I've been looking everywhere for! Too bad I don't live in the States, and can't get an in-person class:( I want to try more of an enduro riding style, and jumps have been the hardest part. This is an awesome video and will definitely try this out!
After watching this it makes me think I could actually jump!!
Well with enough time invested, why not?
I jumped properly for the first time last weekend - I couldn't imagine mastering this skill 5 years ago...
Two years back I first found good tutorials and started learning techniques that helped to get bike control (Wheelies, Manuals, Drops, American Bunny Hops). No good pumptrack around here so I had to make do with what I've got. All along I watched tutorials and got the theory memorized. Last weekend I went to a Bike Park first time and thanks to the preparation I actually I jumped pretty okay on several occasions. I'm totally stoked! ^^
BTW I'm 38 so not even in my physical prime anymore.
Lee, thanks so much for showing this! I love your books and your basic philosophy of “pump starts everything!” Always trying to get better and will use this tomorrow 😁👊🏻👍🏻
Right on!!
Lee, awesome video. Thanks! Your pumping description really increased the amount of pump i can now get! I went so much faster I actually crashed on a berm because I'd never gone that fast before. Ha!
That's a good problem to have!
Your Videos are way the best for MTB on RUclips. This Video flipped the switch in my brain, thank you!!!! I ordered the book now and signed up
right on! thank you for your support!
This video is so helpful to learn how to jump. Well explained
Glad it was helpful!
Hopefully I can learn how to jump soon. Not too many places near me to practice. I may have to build my own ramp. I will say though, watching a video on how to jump is one thing but getting out there and actually doing it is another. I hope I can apply what I've learned from these videos out on the trails themselves.
Ace: You can practice the row/anti-row movement on rocks, curbs, roots, logs etc. We always start small and do 100's of reps before increasing amplitude. NamaStoke!
I love your instructional videos!!! If I had the money I would fly you out to N Cali for a class!
I go out there often! Well, after Covid I'll be doing that. If you add your email to the newsletter list at the bottom of www.leelikesbikes.com, I'll send you a note when I schedule classes out there.
good job miss dani.thanks sir Lee for this tutorial video...
Fantastic tips, Lee! I’m going to try to implement them next ride
Awesome instruction...I'm sure in person is much better, but I will practice this
The timing is just like swinging on a swing set. The pull on the sing set get longer and longer as you get higher which, to me, is equivalent to a longer and longer row as the rollers are longer. So it seems the acceleration (due to the curve in the terrain) is what you row against just like the curve (arc) of the swing.
Big fan of the videos. Learning to pump and jump, and these videos are great.
I've been learning to jump in the past two years and have gotten better. I even built a wooden tabletop in the yard for practice. Lee's explanation is top notch, and has highlighted some of my own weaknesses in technique. Thanks Lee! ...but I cringed a little when you called Dani, "Dude," just seemed like a funny awkward moment.
Great Video, love that SB130 in that color too!
Great video lad.
Dani is such a nice girl as well.
Respect from Scotland 🤙🏼
The first bike I ever jumped was an AMF coaster brake bike about 45 years ago. The frame separated on both sides above the rear drop outs. Very exciting!
They should’ve stuck with making bowling balls ;)
@@lee_likes_bikes LOL! Exactly!
Very good breakdown of how to catch air! 👌
The best teacher in the world
Aww .. thanks!
Row, antirow, Nice, I will try that in spring when snow and ice are gone. I practised judo for more than 35 years, so I m used to strange bodymovement hahaha. Do it many many times and stop thinking and just do it hahaha, hard :-) . God tip, like it :-)
Hi from Scotland. Really enjoyed that video. Great tuition. 👍
Super coachable athlete ! And super fun !
I love her eyebrows!
I love her everything
She will have little to no issue since she already has most the base skills from being a pro. Blows my mind that so many xc pros can't jump.
row row row your bike, gently down the trail down the trail .lol
Great tutorial, thank you !!💪
Life is but a dream! NamaStoke!!
I was in a xc race last week and the course had an extended wave section close together maybe created by Motos it had a small negative grade and I watched people pull away from me substantially without pedaling while I pedaled and fed stuck in quick sand your tutorial told me what my problem was . The other riders must have been pumping the waves and I was not . Your teachings apply to much more bike disciplines.
yes! motocross is bmx with an engine
7:50 come back to this anytime I get bucked
I have the exact same issue with my head popping up/back, I was told to 'meerkat' at the top of jumps. Ummm, well apparently that's exactly what's ruining my jumps. Now I can't wait to finish work so I can go nail this technique!
How did it go?
Need more practice. Landed flat and with my butt on the rear wheel. Felt silly.
Luckily I do 10 toe touches every morning when I get up, so the hinge is a straightforward position. But it still took me awhile to master the row on the ground, so now I'm going to start doing a set of those every morning instead. I'm catching air on the ground, can't wait to try it on my bike! (Everything's frozen right now...) P.s., I had watched the hinge video before on JOB but this one really had it sink in. Thanks!!!
Lee you really explain things INCREDIBLY well....I have a bass guitar channel as well as my very modest Mtb one, and I really love the clarity of your pump breakdown st start...
Great video - loved her energy 👏👏
Sooo helpful. TY, Lee!
Great video! Gonna go try this now.
This video helped me so much! Massive thanks!
Stoked!
Nice! Slow motions are use educationally.
you can do that yourself clicking the gear on the video
Can't wait to try this as I've really hit a plateau and don't seem to be getting any better, one question tho all other tutorial videos talk about loading and unloading the suspension to help with the pop, but there's no mention of it here, why is that? Many thanks Lee
James! Coach Andy here. We teach the row/anti-row method . A ‘proper’ row will load the back wheel with 2-3x your body weight. And you’re centered on the bike, so the front wheel also receives downforce. There is no vertical ‘pop’ element, though steeper lips will require a ‘handlebar to hips’ row which will put you in a more vertical plane. Regardless, a strong row is followed by an equally strong/fast anti-row!
great job dani
I laughed at "stay lazy" but yes being loose and relaxed was the key for me. It's almost like I stopped trying so hard and it just clicked. You can see people that "dead sailor" in videos and they're always frozen in mid air.
great lesson- anyone that digs this should buy "mastering mtn bike skills" book by Lee and Brian Lopes- so good!
Thanks for the endorsement, William1 NamaStoke!
your hinge really inspires me. thank you
Brilliant video, very helpful.
Great tutorial, thanks Lee. Still wrapping my head around the row/anti row concept, but it clearly is very effective.
Helpful video you guys. Thanks! Small question for Miss Arman: what kind of glasses are you rocking in this video? Asking for a friend😉
First of all thanks for this free vid and advice. One question tho on larger jumps and gaps is standing straight up and tall (ie head up) not necessary to get the needed boost to clear?
If you need your MAXIMUM boost, you'll need to stand tall. However, with good technique that's very rarely needed ... and not what I suggest practicing in the beginning.
@@lee_likes_bikes Thx for clarifying that differentiation. Absent this comment, one could incorrectly infer that standing tall for max boost does not fit your "unifying theory." I, like many, need a clear amd concisely commumicated methodology 1st. Max boost probably isn't needed for most of the jumps on beginner to intermediate trails. Cheers! 👍
I watched this vid then went out tonight and tried the rowing thing. DANG! It is like cheating! I would do a 4 or 5 rows, then have to back of to slow down. Feels totally different to do it when jumping too. Still got more work to do on that front. Thanks Lee.
Right on!! For all the good stuff, check out our MTB school at ridelogic.bike.
