Scrubbing Jumps with Amy Morrison, 2019 National Champ: Practice Like a Pro #41
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- In the last episode, we practiced hitting jumps at different speeds, and learning how to adjust leg pressure to reach the desired outcome. But what happens when you're hauling at race speeds and are hitting the jumps beyond what your legs can absorb?
Scrubbing off the lip will allow you to stay low to the ground and blow off unwanted energy, so you can reach the landing without overshooting it. This allows the energy to dissipate to the side, instead of sending you upward.

ABOUT SIMON LAWTON
Following his own Pro Downhill mountain bike racing career, Simon Lawton (Owner and Founder) has spent the last 25 years analyzing the top riders in the world to understand the tiniest details that contribute to their greatest successes, and also any weaknesses that are holding them back. With an exceptional understanding of kinesiology, Simon has developed his own teaching curriculum that explains the incredible relationship between human and machine. He has trained top pro mountain bike racers across the world, and his foundational techniques apply equally to beginner riders. His on-bike drills allow you to break down complex skills on the bike and develop correct techniques.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.

Loved seeing excellent pro-rider Amy!!!
just what i needed, thanks!
Nice work, Amy!!
Love these episodes!
Thanks for watching! -Linnea
The close up shots, and skills discussions help super helpful! Thanks
Thanks for watching and for these kind words, Jeffrey! I'm happy it's helpful! - Linnea
Great video. I did kinda miss the important bit about exactly what to practice.. Will need to go back over it.
Great vids. I can’t wait till my next class!
Thanks for watching, Paul! We're pumped to have you in class again -Linnea
Great video!
Thanks for watching, Andre! -Linnea
Awesome vid! I’ve been trying to learn to whip both ways like that. Wish I had a place like Duthie closer to me. Guess I better start building lol
Or come on a vacation here and rock some classes with us! But if you build something I'm sure all the locals will appreciate that 🤪 -Linnea
@@Fluidride I’ll definitely be back there someday 🤙🏻
This was awesome. It would be stellar to get more Amy and Simon videos, getting to get the progression so quickly was killer and super helpful.
We wish she lived closer!! Would love to have more Amy! -Linnea
Amy is pretty dang fast and smooth.
Yeah she makes everything look so easy! 🤣. Definitely earned that national champ title -Linnea
There are way more instructional videos on fluid rides yearly membership site. Worth every penny.
YESSS we're so thrilled to have you on there, and thanks for sharing this!! -Linnea
Still waiting on those race clips lol 😝
That’s what I was thinking to see the first race of the year and the last to see the difference!
Hahaha it's such a great question. We wanted to go film them in the last couple weeks but with this crazy heat wave, the trails got blown out nearly overnight! They ride ok, but not good for top race speeds. We'll still film something on Predator for ya but it won't be as pretty 🤪 -Linnea
@@Fluidride yes 🙌
Everyone loves their 8,000 points of hub engagement. Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hahahaha so true 🤣 -Linnea
nice... Is there a way to show an animated version of your technique. I see sort of what your doing ..Thought an animation that you could sort of exaggerated view to show the "Scrub"
Ah I wish we had that capability! -Linnea
There has Got to be an app😉 right!
Good stuff. It would be interesting to see a comparison with squashing a jump. Is that the same without the turn? Is there a scenario where is one is better than the other?
This is simply the next step. Squashing is great up to a certain speed, then the rider runs out of space to absorb into the body. This is where the off angles come into play! -Simon
@@Fluidride Awesome. Thank you for the response!
👋👋from México 🇲🇽
Hi Luis! -Linnea
I have a question that is not related to this video: when does on bend more at the hips (and hence a lower chest) when riding? Do we necessarily bend more at the hips on rougher terrain?
When aggressively moving into technical terrain or squashing a jump at speed. This should be a natural movement and is not really necessary to do much of until you are moving very quickly into terrain. I hope this helps! -Simon
@@Fluidride Thank you!
Trying to get my mind around this one... the technique actually implies turning while still on the jump lip at high speed? Do you per-turn to avoid launching off-line?
Unless you are a VERY high level rider, this is not something you should try. It's more to show what top racers are doing. There is no pre-turn. This requires absolute precision. You can see racers employ this technique if you tune into World Cup downhill races. I hope this helps! -Simon
@@Fluidride thanks Simon, appreciate the feedback.
I thought that scrubbing a jump meant to skid off the lip? Or is that just the extreme example?
That would be the extreme example. It can be done on a mountain bike by really high level riders, but originally came from Moto. It's easier to scrub and skid the front wheel doing so with a throttle. -Simon
Wow, what a dude. He is practicing advanced downhill technique with not one, but TWO of the very few women into downhill riding. When I go to a downhill bike park, it's like 99.5% to 0.5% dudes to women. ((I'm not counting your girl children)
