yeah thats it but sometimes i scared a little and just the 2 wheels crash together i want first on ground the back one but ill learn that soon

but i am going to put the new suspension RockShox BOXXER rc

i just scared when sometimes when i jump and come down on ground with the first tyre and i think that the bike is going to fell

which wheel have to touch the grab first ?

This is so helpful, he deserves 100,000 subs go on guys and get him that

Whaere are those jumps

Hello , I'm from Brazil , if possible , put subtitles in Portuguese , I watched the video , but did not quite understand , only images . thank you

Howzit! Awesome tutorial. It feels like I am doing most of this correctly, but for some reason I tend to go skew on jumps. Either my rear wheel pulls out towards one side, or my weight goes towards a side. It tends to be my right side (I ride left foot forward). Even my manuals and bunnyhops tend to do this.

I don't think that I pull with my arms, and I have tried making sure that both feet are heel-down when approaching a jump or starting a manual, but still no joy in sorting the problem out. So I have no idea why this is happening, and can't seem to find a video or article telling me how to fix this. Any ideas?

Where do you ride?

Go fast stay on bike

Why is that evrytime i try to jump my bike always want to go to left side

Is there a way to make sure you don't nosedive. I can't ever jump without either nosediving or landing on my but.

i have a old next 21 speed im fixing it up is it goo bike

I have a Mountain Biking elective at my school and we've been riding a trail for awhile now and we JUST got the privilege of hitting jumps today; so there's this one jump that's not too big but for a beginner it's still sketchy. Anyway I felt in my mind I could do it but my body said "no you'll die" but it wasn't the jump that scared me it was how I was going to land or if I did something wrong in the air... I ended up not even rolling over it and my crush was there ;(

I always got told not to pull on the handle bars...

They say you shouldn't pull up on your handlebars and instead pump your body into the jump

Thanks there's a jump in my local park that's a trail so thank u will help me a lot

How would I adjust shocks on a bike with only front suspension?

I have looked at a whole bunch of suspension videos and they say fast rebound on the fork and slow rebound on the shock

I am trying to learn wheelies on my mtb. I noticed, everyone else makes it look so easy, but for me I cannot do it. I can get the front up but no enough, it fells too heavy. Is it even possible for me to do a wheelie on my bike? My bike is from a company called Specialized incase that helps.
