"See, my head almost fell off" 😂
loool
😂😂
I want a Sam Pilgrim bobblehead!
i almost choked hahaha!
I almost pi**ed myself
That is the best explanation of how to jump ever, thanks. Maybe an old dog can learn a new trick.
guyd4067 ok boomer
I’ve seen many videos for beginners, this was the best. I’m glad I found it ...
Alex Basnett old ass meme
@@Kiko-yq2cs did you not see that its 2 months old
Alex Basnett yes I did and 2 months ago it was still dead as fuck unless you use reddit in which case you are a lost cause
Absolutely and unequivocally the best jump how to video I've seen to date. Bruce Lee was quoted to saying "the key to brilliance is simplicity".
Thank you for a no bullshit run through Sam😎
Bruce Lee was a smart mofo. I sure hope the Jump vid I'm premiering tonight can hold a candle to this one.
Sam I have watched endless videos trying to learn how to jump and this is by far the best .. your the first to say don’t try to pop for beginners and I have found that the best way for me learning .. I have nearly killed myself trying to pop and bunny hop on jumps !!
Brill
Glen Pointon Fly Fishing Vlog you're damn right! I had the same problem!
I started small when I was fist learning. I found that by going a little faster and faster over the same table that my bike naturally began to come off the ground. Then it was actually easier to jump the table than try to ride over it.
But when I started popping I started overshooting the same jump! It actually was a nice progressive learning curve and I learned that I could use different techniques for different situations and results.
Same mate, I was bunny hopping like a maniac at first!
Bang on!
The same with me. My last ride I have applied the technics I've watched in this video and then I was jumping. I was so amazed man. Awesome...to the sky...
You should do an advanced jump technique video. How to take steeper lips, how to hip properly, how to take larger jumps, how to get amplitude
YES! I am still a beginner getting comfortable jumping - Kind of in the transition between popping off the lip and still riding it without pop (depends on the jump on the trail and what I'm comfortable with). But I love to learn and watch different techniques!
MTB Trail Rider SaMe!!!!????
😂🤣😂 „they might need to watch this video?!“ *tears of laugh* best coinsidence ever! 😂😅
I almost laughed my head off :)
Ya my man had a full face on and didn’t even lift his front wheel 😐
I genuinely believe that this video is the missing link of how to jump videos.
Indeed
What if I said the one I'm releasing tonight is ACTUALLY the missing link? We're basically saying the same thing, but he has that incredible accent so... just forget mine.
Rich Drew you’re videos are great too
Sam is teaching them the right speed, and a soft pump which is super beginner friendly thing. A bunch of other vids assume that you know how to bunny hop.. Totally agree!
@@richdrewtherideseries Love your vids man
He mentions there are many videos out there teaching this stuff...but this is the most practical one I have seen. He teaches the basics and suggests you stick to the basics until you gain the confidence and control on the bike to try and be, more visually stunning on takeoff!
Thanks Sam!
Definitely one of the better jump tutorials out there. Many of us understand the basics of jumping but it's the finer details which to the beginner, are crucial in understanding the whole picture and acquiring the confidence to go bigger. You touched on aspects of jumping which I haven't seen in other vids, and I've seen many!
Well done, mate and thanks for taking the time to make yet another jump vid, but one which is tailored to those of us who desperately want to take it to the skies, but haven't yet attained a ticket!
Cheers 👍🏻
It is always fun to hear what experience has to say, and how someone with a lot of deep knowledge on a subject chooses to relate that to someone they want to teach. Great job!
This video made me subscribe. I've been riding since '96 and riden all schools of riding. These rules never change. Judge the speed right, keep lose and let the bike ride for you. Love your enthusiasm Sam your entertaining as it gets.
This is the best how-to jump tutorial. The bunny hop for me is more complicated and not as stable as letting the ramp guide you up. I'm new to MTBing and this video is clear and easy to understand. Thanks Sam.
Bought my First Hibike today. It was you and ElectricBikeReview.
Thank you Both. You all saved me so much Frustration.
Best jump video I have seen so far.I really appreciate that you have aimed it at beginners like me and the fact that you are all about the safety of the newbies (especially middle age ones like me who don't bounce as well as the younger riders).Well done and many thanks.
This is great. I like the way you speak english, slow and clear. You are a great teacher. I'm absolutely enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Hi dear Sam, thank you so much for this video, really naturally presented how it supposed to be. I just got my first MTB intro hopper and will try to learn how to jump as I'm not able to get to the trails with proper conditions for such jumps as on your video. I have relocated from Kyiv, Ukraine a month ago and dreaming to meet ya one day in person. That will be such an honor for me. I was following a while and by accident I'm now living in Colchester! :) God bless, stay safe and positive as always! All the best!
I've seen every "How to jump MTB" possible and this is one of the best tips from one of the best rider. Thank you sir!
This is freaking hilarious! It’s got such a good tone to it. Most jump videos are really dry.
Somehow I knew you'd have the most sensible advice on how to jump. I'm a beginner jumper and am glad to hear that it's okay to let the jump do the work for you when starting out. I'll stick to this method for now, working on speed. feeling the jump and getting a decent landing in.
Genuinely helpful video - honest, simple and from experience. Not "over technique". Thank you.
That was an inspiring period of instruction. Well spoken, good enthusiasm, emphasized important concepts, and provided additional tips for experienced riders. After watching several how to jump videos, yours has given me more knowledge than all the others put together. Your demonstrations were also very helpful. I admire your skill(s) and appreciate your unselfish sharing of your know how and experience. Really good video, thanks man.
Fantastic video! I used to jump a BMX bike as a kid over 30 years ago, flying through the air like there was nothing to it. Now it seems like an impossible task to perform without me ending with my face in the dirt cuz I haven't jumped a bike since then. I have to say, your not just a great mtnbiker but a great teacher as well. Thank you!
This is one of the most helpful jumping videos I've watched. Thanks for breaking down the beginner vs. advanced techniques. Now I just need to get the confidence to come in with more speed.
I started playing shred 2 then I started getting into actual real life riding watching your vids for tips love your energy and sense of humor. I just went back and played the game and realize it's you wow awesome thanks for all the motivation
Thanks for keeping it real, and making it easy to understand. Keeping speed and staying loose makes a bigger difference than thinking about trying to manual then bunnyhop.
This was more helpful then GMBN's jump video.
Yes, I think it's because they always cut down the videos to be honest. You don't really get too see much in the them besides just the presenter talking. Their videos are often way too short in my opinion, and I highly doubt it's because they don't have more footage. They just have this thing for really short videos.. It's like a trend these days it seems and it seriously hurts the amount of usable information on RUclips imo.

Bingo ! That manual business before a jump always confused me.
When you watch the GMBN guys jump, none of them hang off the back like a manual at all, but for some reason that’s how they want to teach it.
I learned a lot more here.
That is so true👍
I think that’s because he makes it relateble to beginners, gmbn makes it way to complicated. You don’t use a bunnyhop on a jump, then you will defenitly overjump it, speed and confidence makes jumping way better then just bunnyhopping
I got a video blocker add on for Firefox solely to stop GMBN vids appearing. I hate those guys.
Love the beginner/advanced tips and slowmo. Makes it much easier to see positioning & weight shifts.
best video out there for jumping. i've watchd a lot- finally feeling better on jumps all due to the technique of going light and equal off the jump with the right speed. feels easier than a drop when you do it like that. very much appreciate the help, Sam!
Fantastic video. I've never heard anyone explain it so well. The problem I have is stiffening up. It really helps hearing that I don't need to pull up
I'm a beginner jumper. Fantastic tips. Really liked how you simplified and explained everything. Thanks Sam!
Dude, that WAS massive pop with the orange forker! Very fun to watch, and much appreciation for the beginner instruction.
Thanks sam kept it very simple !! Used to clear huge jumps when i was a kid on my bmx ( yes I’m 49 ) but never recreated it in my 25 year mtb journey ... but this is awesome cant wait to try it out 🤘👍🔥
Love your energy bra, just great. I have a channel on spiritual awakening but I always watch your videos to bring me back down to Earth! Love from the USA, Harrisburg, PA.
Thank you so much for this video! Everyone teaches jumps that you must do bunnyhop on the lip to get the pop.
Your advice of simply staying balanced and unweighting the bike slightly worked great. I was scared of jumps cause I can't do nice proper bunny hop yet.
But you made it possible. Jumping is so much fun!
So thrilled to have come across this... as most all how-to-jump videos I've watched mentions doing the 🐰 hop movement at the lip, which I'm stiiiiiiiiiillll learning. Good to know that the right amount of speed can also yield air time! Hellz yayER! Thank you!
Did you try it yet?
Great stuff my man, I’ll for sure take that to the trails! The learning curve in a lot of vids are sometimes just to complex for starters and this just nails it, keep these vids coming! Cheers
I watched this video and now I'm levitating!
Excellent tips here Sam. I used to be able to jump some jumps without even thinking about them, until I started watching too many "how to" jump videos. They all talk about the bunny hop technique. Then I started overanalysing and feeling really uncomfortable on jumps which I previously had no problems on. Just recently I re- discovered what you are referring to here, that is "just let the bike flow" under you. You have now given me some confidence that I am headed in the right direction.
Thanks Sam
PS: I am still having problems with some of the steeper lips trying to buck me and landing them with the front wheel first. Scary , but with time I'm sure I'll improve. Any tips you have would be great.
Yo, thats cool to hear!!!
Thanks Sam, thats the first jumping technique video I've seen where it finally makes sense! I've cleared plenty of big jumps but my technique feels more like luck than anything. Finally have a basis to work on!
Sam, I had some jumping coaching from Tom Dowie who also taught us the non popping method - so glad to see someone else recommend the same technique for beginners. With the popping method other you tube videos seem to be a bit misleading by suggesting the jumping technique is as the American bunnyhop, however when you watch them jump their hips never move towards the back tire (like they would with a bunnyhop). Great video many thanks
The best jump tutorial on youtube.. thanks sam pilgrim .. you rockkk!!!
"Hi Sam, I'm June '54 yrs old Beginners for mountain biking. I wish I was on younger age I really want to do a jump but, I always scared and do the wrong move. ""I watch your video every day, lunch break even in precious little CR time. I go biking in WAKERLY WOODS start practice done many times try pause watched your video on my phone and I've DONE IT!!!!! I SHOUTED AS LOUD as ever I imagine of Joy!!!!! '''GREAT VIDEO THANKS A LOT!!!! SAM
Excellent video on all counts. Good video and good simple description of the mechanics of movement . Well done. Now a subscriber from down under in NZ
Definitely will try to hit jumps after this. Your explanation is probably one of the better ones on YT. Subscribed!
Sam this was a useful vid. Always seeing videos on RUclips going on about having to manual in to a jump. But your technique makes it look more simple. Trying to manual my GT has always been a pain in the arse so never gave it a go to jump. But think now I will.
Thanks Sam and crew, took your advice of not trying to hop off the jump - huge improvement.
Also important for beginner jumpers is to slow down your rear rebound. I used to have my rear rebound fast and would wonder why it felt like the back bucking. A good reference my friend gave me was to set set your rear rebound slower than it takes your bike to come back up under you after sitting on it with both feet on the ground, and standing up.
At 7:46 .... you got so high on the hardtail! lol I've seen some of your older videos and never subscribed but watching this one and some from your Audi 9's trip - I can't get enough of your videos. Would love to see more "How to.." videos because you make it very relatable to different skill levels and they're fun to wach
Awesome video. While I'm not really a beginner anymore, I have been off the bike for a while. This is the first video which tells me not to try to pop the bike until my experience level is ready for it. Thanks'
ALL the other videos I've seen so far told me to absolutely bunny hop off the lip. Thanks Sammy!
Stopped This Vid at 5:38 to comment THANK YOU!!! Best advice I’ve ever gotten.. do less not more when learning, but take things at the right SPEED and you don’t need to do any extra! Jumps are the scariest things to me as a golf pro.. but when you do less and free yourself up then you will be able to do more then you maybe previously thought possible. Anywho random thought that made sense doing less to get more out of jumps.. anywho starting the vid back up kuz it’s not over yet! Haha
Best video for this beginner, of how to jump properly, so thanks to Sam and Tom! I always struggle with trying to spot my landing but maybe I should be looking ahead instead of down?!
Sam Pilgrim perfect demonstration and a master class in how to jump LEGEND!!!
Started to watch more and more of your videos, simple reason I like to watch the insane jumps tricks and competitions you enter, 1st seen you on Ryan's channel doing a no hand back flip, been watching ever since.
Sam thank you so much for this video. THIS video has started my jumping and i am indebted to you for making it simple. Bravo chap.
I been watching you for years. You are so funny I love ur videos and ur sense of humor. Thanks For the entertainment.
This is probably the best video i have found to date on learning to jump ( may include all literature in my statement also! ) I am mid 30's and been biking for years, had a good few off's from jumps and broken bones, been knocked out etc. My confidence with them was zero for a longtime! I was buiding up to something like this and built a cheap and nasty dirt jump bike (2nd hand DMR frame etc ) as i wanted to nail it sooooo bad. After watching this last night i was itching to go have a blast at my local trails and this video helped shit loads!!! Thanks so much for putting the effort and time into making this Sam, can we have more "how to" videos for idiots like me whos ambition out weighs my talent? I'm feeling a bit brave all of a sudden with this new found confidence! :D Cheers dude
We need a Sam Pilgrim How to for beginners series where you teach things like manuals, wheelies etc. This is one of if not the best jump tutorial for beginners I have seen.
Great tutorial. Really kept it simple & on point. Nice to have an expert explain it in a straightforward & intuitive manner! Cheers🤘
Very good instruction. I can now gap 10-12 feet with no issues. Now to stretch that out, At 71 years of age this is soooo much fum. Thanks Sam. I enjoy your videos so keep them coming.
I totally agree with what was said about bunny hopping off the lip. Learning technical maneuvers on a bicycle is hard because you use so much of your body and brain all at the same time. Your legs, back, arms, fingers, eyes, and conscious mind are always occupied just Riding in a straight line. Trying to simply remember the steps of a tecnique right as your about to perform it is difficult as is, monitor speed, lean back, pull bars slightly, bring bars toward waste in the air, adjust pitch if bike, absorb impact. That's so much to think about for a new rider all at once plus coping with fear. Simply relaxing and. Unweighting the bike is a great tip that I'd recommend versus trying to perform a completely different technique (bunny hop) within your jumping tecnique in itself.
Thanks Sam. This is the best jump tutorial.
So cool I think you did a good job making the lesson un-complicated, especially compared to most how to jump videos! I've never seen anyone explain that you can simply un-weight the bike or generally explain jumping in such a clear and easy to understand way.
Awesome, glad you think so!
Defo made me feel more at ease thinking about hitting the bigger jumps. Just gotta put it into action now. Broke my elbow the start of the year and I've only just really got into the hobby so pretty nervous about getting back out there. Not so much now after seeing this video. Cheers 😁
fun style of teaching, hang loose in the office lol. Non-condescending way to approach other people who enjoy mtb, and with multiple detailed examples of how and how not to jump on e-mtb, full sus, and hardtail. Thanks Sam
I keep coming back to review this because IMO, it's the best realistic instruction. Mr. Pilgram has da funniest comment tho "see my head almost fell off". As a 49 years old learning to jump, this is the one works for me, just unweight with no additives.
Something I can finally take to the trails! Thanks Sam for the tips!
One of the best How to Jump MTB vids out there. :) VERY helpful Mr. Pilgrim. Thank you
The BEST how to video on RUclips. You're a beast Sam.
I've made the transition from road to mountain and this vid has helped loads!! Cheers!
It's one thing to can jump and a completely different thing to explain it how it works the right way.
If you can do both you have definitely understand it.
And Sam, you are a genius. I always try to explain everything that a five years old child can follow it. It's hard but you did it right. Thanks.
I just need a nice trail with good jumps in it for practicing 😅
This guy is so down to earth.
He explains things in a fun way that everyone can understand.
Not a bad rider either 😜
see, my head almost fell off...🤣🤣🤣 This is by far the best jump tutorial video I've ever seen, thanks!
awesome ! totally changed the game ...as I am not new to mtn biking but rather jumping them ( 5 Ribs last year LOL ) thanks for the great perspective and way in which you pass it on ! peace bra.
I was literally gonna search for the exact video 📹 I was looking for on how to jump. Thank you 🚲
Great tips, great video and a great "to the sky" ending!
i have watched few of the videos before this one but seriously buddy your is just awesome saying real things not like an robot like some do! keep up your style! Great stuff and keep it going!
You just proved I can still jump on my MTB converted recently to heavy 24kg e-bike. Thanks.
This is excellent instruction I will apply these techniques on my next session for sure thanks Sam!!!!!
this man knows what he's talking about, best how to jump video for beginners
i saw many how to jump videos and this is definitely one of the best. so many good tips and knowledge, thanks man!
Great video. Nice and simple (like myself) and easy to follow . And cleared up a few things I was worried about . Thanks!
thanks Sam this has helped more than any other how to jump video!
Best video I've seen on jumping for beginners!! Thanks
Thanks Sam, your're the best. Hopefully I can clear bigger jumps now!
You always learn from the best.....Sam Pilgrim plus Tom Cardy!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Sick video. This helped a lot. Sam's Tuesday Tips....that would be helpful. Plus you make the video entertaining. Most tip videos are boring
These slow motion parts helped me a lot to do it first time nearly properly. Cheers mate and regards from Poland :) .
Definitely the best explanation I have seen so far, thanks!
Great class from a true pro, some youtube channels want to force you to hold a manual for 30 seconds before even thinking of jumping, WRONG! Full on manual before jumping is not safe at all, it's weird, awkward, complicated, confusing.....etc. Thanks Sam.
Thanks for the advice. Seems like a better aproach when you're just starting out.
Thanks Sam, trying to teach wife how to jump. Your video was all it took! She’s still in the skyyyyyyyyy!😂
This is one of the most practical jump videos I’ve ever seen
Great tips Sam, if I break on Thursday or Friday when I'm out I'll Blame you lol😂😂
Twechar Climber did you break?
@@Fajnybobr Obviously.. He ded..
NekkeDeez 🤣
Great video. Please make a video about whips. Especially bringing it back. Cheers
This is an awesome vid for learning people to jump mate good work good to see cardy back with you too mate
Excellent Video !! - makes a lot more sense than everything else I've seen ! Very helpful to have beginner to advanced advice - Thanks !
Hi @SamPilgrim, im a starter when it comes to jumping. Your unweighting tip worked, I tried my favorite table tops last weekend and had some little air time. I will take a video next time and tag you.
I've watched this more than 3 times and I'll see it again later for sure... "Perfect" video :3
Superb video, thanks Sam! Very clear and easy steps. I'm at the point where I've nailed the first phase and trying to get to the "more height and more style" part.
Any chance of a "next step to jumping like a boss" video?
