- If you struggling to jump a mountain bike and you've not learned how to do simple bump jumps, you're doing it all wrong. Plus, this skill makes riding boring trails so much more fun as you look for opportunities transfer from one bump to another. Few people talk about the importance of this skill.
It's not about what we do on the trail. It's about what we've done on the trail and what that does for us. PASSION - PROGRESS - POTENTIAL.

I want these videos to be super helpful, but the only way I know is with a subscribe, like, or comment. Otherwise, I’m left wondering. Get out there and bump jump everything in sight. But most of all, have fun! Thanks for watching!
Mastering bump jumps is like having a cheat code for turning the fun level up to 11! 100% agree with being comfortable landing on rocks & roots since jumping or manualing over them is much smoother and it looks cool too.
love doing this with stumps and small boulders - and at walking speeds too.
I only today cleared 4 jumps I haven't been able to clear in the past 2 years.
The takeaway is this. It will take much longer to progress if you don't take the time to practice specific movements. I always found doing stuff like this boring, tiring, and not fun. It was only because I started practicing something I saw, that made complete sense. Practicing specific movements over and over will help with whatever you're struggling with.
Overcoming something for the 1st time is really awesome!
The slow-mo with replay really helps me to understand and embed the technique.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks - great video and explanation. Good to see examples of how to use this on the trails as well. I'm trying to learn to jump. This technique looks like a much safer way to get some practise. I've got plenty of timber so I'll be outside tomorrow giving this try.
There’s a lot of educational MTB videos out there to chose from. But yours are so detailed and simply explained it makes it easier to learn from. You’re a good teacher. I’ll be using the bump jump technique to progress my jumping later today. Thx for sharing!
i had to laugh at the title " " no one talks about this "
in my group of riders no one even THINKS about jumping, as we are all over 75 years old 😂😆
Your videos have been helpful. Thanks. Would you say the bump jump technique at the lip of a jump is a good technique to apply to larger jumps as well?
I’m just returning to riding after a 13 year break but when I was riding dj and bmx bikes I would often avoid bump jumping on any actual lip to avoid getting bucked mid air and dumping the front wheel.
Bump jumps outside of practice are very situational and if what your jumping over does not have anything that might require the bump it should be avoided.
On proper jumps usually preloading and pumping through rollers/transitions would be more effective
@@WillySpencee Ahhh, gotcha. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
@@paulcarlone2980no worries man! A lip is designed for you to ride off it without the need to bump jump, but when your riding(not fast) and there’s a tree down across the trail that’s small enough to ride over you can bump jump off that
no - you do not want to use this technique when tackling a jump with a take-off ramp. The bump jump is for hopping over trail obstacles at lower speeds like rocks, stumps, etc. - it's a technique that stands apart from ramped jumping.
Great video. Thanks
Love the bump jump, such a handy tool for trail riding. Great explanation and instruction Josh. Side note, the side shot was super helpful, I now realize I need to get my head a little forward before initiating the jump. I'm gonna try that today. Thank you!
I accidentally started doing this decades ago, when I was bored in a parking lot waiting for my buddies to arrive for a ride. I began trying to hop the concrete parking stops in the parking lot, and by accident when I was slow in popping my front wheel over the parking stop, it hit slightly and I continued my hop with that slight 'bump' and easily cleared the parking stop with my rear tire! I thought what a nifty trick this is, and it became a frequently used technique since. It's almost as if you're harvesting the rebound action of your fork to provide a free-boost up and over whatever you're trying to hop over. I love how you can use the bump jump to turn any ordinary tree root, small boulder, stump or whatever into an instantly fun trail feature....turning what may be a normally sedate trail into a festival of options and alternate side hits. Most people are afraid to try this as it requires your front tire to actually contact the obstacle you are trying to get up and over, but once you feel it work the first time, you've got it forever!
Thank you. This is really simple (I didn't say easy as I think that comes with practice) and I like that you help us build the right foundational skills first
Thanks brother! Watching from Brazil.
Thank you for this, I'm going to start practicing with a 2x4 at home.
A little wordy, but very good break down, especially with the stop motion and reverse action. Can’t wait to get out and try this.
Great video! I’ve been trying to describe this technique to my son for a while. After watching all of your videos it wild how different our trails are out here near Pittsburgh.
Its hard for me to learn bump jumps, when i do it i always go over the bars. Its not a satisfying feeling
Cool, anything that can be practiced at home is a win.
Does this work on a hardtail?
Really helpful, thank you.
great! thanks so much!
Awesome drill!! I'm just starting my jumping journey and this really helped. Thanks dude!
Same here
How can you keep your feet from floating/flying off the pedals while you’re in the air or landing? Just started riding with my GF and she’s not comfortable getting her front wheel off the ground. Trying to find skills to work up to hitting bump jumps
when doing this, both you and the bike are within the same reference-frame of motion, so your feet stay on the platform pedals automatically.
Thanks for this man I really liked the preload video. Could you break down the idea of pulling up to pop/boost on a jump? People say it but I think it’s not a simple as that. There’s more with timing and pulling form (I.e. is it like pulling for a wheelie where it’s more your body weight than a row technique? Do you wait until your front wheel is in the air to pull?). Love the videos and that you’re helping people get better
I'm curious about this as well. Like does applying the bump jump technique at the lip of the jump basically explain what it feels like to boost the jump a little versus a simple knees over toes boost? A little more detail on boosting with the context of the bump jump technique could be helpful.
Great information man.. your tutorials are up there with the best of RUclips 👌
@@paulcarlone2980 you'll endo if you bump jump off the lip of a ramped jump takeoff. Once you see how the bump jump actually works to get over a stump at low speeds, you'll know why it would be bad technique for a big ramped jump (stick to the subtle weighting and toe/knee pressing into the jump face for normal jumps)
