    I've watched a bazillion jump videos and what you said about the cover everyone with one recipe is so on point. EVERYONE is different when it comes to this stuff: in experience and in athleticism. Following some cover-all tip is not going to do it on top of it being dangerous. I have a feeling you'll be getting a bunch of clients as long as videos and information such as this one keep comin! Thanks.

    Good stuff. I happened upon one of your first videos about moving upper body forward and down during the transition. It helped. Your next couple of jump videos really helped me the next time I went to do some local jumps. That included breaking the glass plane. My image of good jumping looks like the Nordic ski jumping.

    • @slantedground

      The "ski jump" idea is the safest way to jump when you are trying to sort out the speed, even if you know you are going to case.

    Another video with really important topics and ways to improve techniques for faster/safer riding, keep it up! Comfort braking is a big one that holds back riders of all levels. I always suggest to riders that they find a very familiar trail or section of trail (no double black diamond DH stuff, just something moderate with nice flow) and work on riding it over and over using minimal-to-no braking. Ideally working up to doing it with no fingers on brakes at all. Or try doing an entire run using just front or back brakes. Or not pedaling at all, just pumping and keeping your roll speed through corners. Like you said, the bike works shockingly better on bumps, jumps, and corners without yanking levers constantly or having to pedal in places you don't want to pedal. Also, your mind/body will adapt to sharper reactions and better line choices because of it.
