Gain Speed WITHOUT Pedaling - The Art of Pumping!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Have you ever watched someone build speed without pedaling on a pump track, trail, or skatepark & wondered where they were finding this 'hidden' speed? In this video we deconstruct the skill of pumping to teach you the fundamentals of building speed on any bike or terrain by applying & absorbing energy on obstacles.
This skill makes interacting with features while riding infinitely more fun & with practice you'll find yourself in far better control of your bike which leads to a flow state like nothing else.
In unison with pedaling, using pump will take your riding to new levels & if you're looking to learn how to jump mastering the art of pumping will set you up for success as you start preparing yourself to leave the ground.
While practicing this skill don't get discouraged - each obstacle or feature can vary a bit in timing, so take your time & enjoy the ride as you begin to dial this in.
Happy Pumping,
-Mike

this is exactly the kind of explanation i needed. i kind of half-knew some of the stuff, but showing how to use it on the trail was very helpful to me. thanks guys!
Thank you for the love amigo!! Can't wait to hear how it goes out on the trail.
Jumping is almost impossible for me, please more!
Same here, been working on my pump for a while, but the hardest part for me is to time the upwards part of the roller.
The Loam Ranger's video did it for me, took an hour and a half to sort out.
Stand up to the jump.
Don't try and jump or pump, just stand up and don't try and do it too soon on the jump face otherwise you will take off too soon and squash the jump.
Video of your self with a trail side camera on a phone works wonders.
This!
Heard! We'll get to work on a how to jump video. In the mean time, practice, practice, practice the pump skill as it's the baseline for jumping!
I was lucky and a local coach offered airbag jump sessions. I was all over that! I jumped under the direction of a coach for 2 hours straight. He fixed my technique in just a few mins which I ended up practicing the changes for the whole session to develop my memory. You might get lucky and find some kind of coaching in your area.
Nice to see you doing crossovers from the BMX on the pump track to the MTB on the trail.
Thanks, yo!
Imagine living close to a park like that. It looks like so much fun.
Right!? The kids in that neighborhood are living the dream!! Adults too for that matter lol.
So after watching this video I can now do full laps of my local pump track with no pedalling! Thank you 🙏
No kidding?!? HELL YA! We love to hear it. Thank you for reporting back. Much love!

1 more on jumping! And on the pumptrack please! Yet to clear my first double there. Frustrating, got the speed, but it's scary, and sooo far :(
Right on! We'll have a jumping video coming soon.
Are you able to clear table tops or gap jumps elsewhere, yet?
@@JoyOfBike yes please, awesome, thnx! Yes, smaller table tops on trails are fine. With some of them I have enough to land on the flat. I haven't got any gap jumps anywhere, so no idea. The one on the pumptrack is 16 ft, but although I love air time, I get mad and frustrated because I tend to not do any actual jumping from the takeoff at speed (I think) because I think it's just fear that holds me back... Maybe any tips there?
Thanks for explaining stuff in a different way - it's difficult to convey how to acquire skills via a video compared to say, in person instruction, so breaking these problems down is really appreciated. Looking forward to your jump video 😎👍
Of course, stoked to hear it's being enjoyed! Our goal is to deconstruct & simply these things as much as possible without including too much technical jargon so learning is easy & safe!
Jump video coming soon!
-Mike
Great video. Learning to pump immediately opens up a whole new level of riding. Always love to see a how to on jumping. Thank you.
Thank you!!
It really does, it truly is the base of everything that follows - especially jumping! We'll have a video on that soon!
There really good at explaining how to do stuff on a bike. 👍
Glad you think so! Much love.
Lets go with the jumping!
We'll start working on a jumping video!
Your videos bring a different perspective. Really enjoyed your video on bunny hopping!
That's our goal - thanks for sharing!!
That's a YES from me to a jumping tutorial, please.
It's in the queue!! Can't wait to hear what you think of it when it drops. Cheers Dave!
That kid in the background @6:00 is the best on that track 💯
I like this video format. Keep making videos!
Ah heck ya, thank you so much!!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of what’s to come 🫶🏻
@@JoyOfBike maybe how to do some tricks like x-up or table top?
pretty sure i'm moving more forward and backward on the bike when i do this and it doesn't work all that well. really appreciated the zones part to help with the timing! i might try watching this slower to get a better idea of the transitions. i couldn't really see the terrain on the mountain bike trail but definitely saw the pumping action there. will definitely watch your jumping video. i can pull off some fun short jumps but had a ninja instructor tell me i'm coming up perpendicular to the slope i'm on instead of straight up, so i usually can only clear about 3 feet of distance. my other limitation is keeping speed through berms, which i think is largely in my head since one of my few falls happened coming out of a turn. i'm more cautious on the nearby paved pump track because a fall on pavement seems like a bigger deal than a fall on dirt.
Pumping is kinda funny, the less animated your are on the bike usually the more effective it becomes - this however is a byproduct of lots of practice on varying obstacles.
Jumping piece is coming soon, Matt is out of town for a few weeks so we're waiting to put that one together until he's back since he's so dang smooth! Hope we can provide some value with that piece.
Again fantastic.
Thanks dude's.
Thanks amigo, all love!
-Mike
Firestone! I've been trying to teach my 6-year-old how to pump on that track. I'm gonna have him watch this video. 😉
Ah dude right on!!! Hope it helps - report back, please!
Hope to catch yall out there some time. Cheers!
Love to see a video about how to manual on rollers and tables now that you've taught us bunny hops and pumping!!!
Right on!! After we cover a few more basic skills we'll move toward teaching this exact thing, manualing rollers is SO fun.
Yes pls jump video would be great 👍
Coming soon!! Any obstacles you'd like to see us cover when it comes to jumping?
Best tutorial ever ❤❤❤❤
Loved the video, great work at including bmx, hardtail, and full suspension!
Thank you!! We almost brought the gravel bikes out, too. haha.
Much love,
-Mike
Love these tutorials.
More to come! Thank you so much amigo.
Outstanding!
Thank you Richard!!
Much love,
-Mike
this was great!
I like this white zombie meets Linkin park style of presenters cool style
haha thanks, yo! Stoked you're enjoying.
Awesome explanation boys!! 🤘🏽
Thx yo! Stoked you enjoyed amigo.
You guys are great!
Thx for the love amigo!
Let's jump!
coming sooooon!! :)
Ur mom taught me how to pump like a pro. 😁
Better than my dad, I reckon.
Nice explanation! Is that Berthoud pump track?
Thanks Matt!! This is the Firestone pump track - they’re getting hard to keep track of these days. Haha.
1:09 " Now that you've had time to stink..."
I made an appearance as the port-a-potties 😂😭
One question I have about pumping and jumping. I think I understand pumping in the free energy zone and getting lite and compressing on the loading zone. But when you pop a jump like he did in the skate park on the quarter pipe, aren't you extending and getting heavy in the loading zone? I always hear that pumping is the precursor to jumping, but isn't that the opposite?
thanks! I really appreciate the videos!
Yes!! This is absolutely correct, as opposed to absorbing the energy pushing back into us in the loading zone we push back into it, the hard or more energy we can put into that zone the higher or further we'll go.
Pumping is essentially the precursor so we can understand how to apply force, although it may be in a different area the same ideal applies! Plus, once you start taking this skill to a jump line utilizing pump on landings will make it so you don't have to pedal.
If you want a person to teach how to jump im your guy! Practically starting at geound zero. If you can teach me you can teach anyone 😉
dude!! I think after we do the video, I'd love to find a few folks to teach using the same fundamentals for another video - let's do it!!
@@JoyOfBike I'm so down give me a little heads up and I should be able to make it.
@@XxFarrinxXv2 dope! It may be a few weeks but it’ll happen!
Johnny wants his glasses back before he goes over the edge...
who dat?
@@JoyOfBike over the edge....great teen angst movie
@@phraglerock8775 oh!! I get the reference now haha.
عالی بود ممنون
از اینکه تماشا کردید خیلی متشکریم
You guys are like ZZ Top
hahaha right on.
Where is this park
The skate park is Longmont/Sandstone Ranch. The pump track is probably Mountain Shadows in Firestone.
Row and anti-row? 😇
we need jumps!
Coming very, very soon!! What type of obstacles should we teach jumping on?
@@JoyOfBike I think whatever you think is most common at dirt jump lines. Mine has a kicky little table tops, and then increasingly steeper, but smoother, transitions on the bigger lines.
Would also be rad to have a video outlining a recommended progression of skills with satisfactory mastery criteria.
Like should we learn to be effective on the pump track before manuals -> bunny hops -> jumps? And how do we know we are good enough at pump tracks to move on to manuals, etc.
teach jumping
coming soon!!
Jumping please.
Word!! Coming VERY soon!
too many words.. way too many words...
better than too few words, I reckon. 🤷🏻♂
@@JoyOfBike not really... too many words makes it harder to understand the lesson...
