Me: dreaming of having jump line like that to practice on within a hundred miles.
Also Me: Desperately scouting the woods for places to build a cheeky hidden tabletop.
The way you explain "how to do things" is great, keep up the good content 👍
Thanks!
@@VanCan Totally agree! I just started MTB (being road cycling for a while) and your how to videos are some of my favorites!
Cheers!
@@CervezaDeGaraje - thank you!!
Suck up
There are thousands of jump videos - this is by far the best, most useful and honest.
In my opinion, the absolute most important part of jumping is to pump into the lip. I only just figured out how to jump a few months ago and that really helped me understand how to get up into the air and also stops me from getting bucked by the lip. I'm helping my husband learn how to jump now too and that's all he's focusing on and he's starting to clear small doubles.
Ya that’s important too!
Thanks for posting this! Not too much fuss like all the others, just a relaxed way of explaining how to build up confidence. Your videos are really special.
Thanks!
I figured it was probably like any other facet of mountain biking. At the end of the day, it boils down to experience, which translates to confidence. The only way to gain experience is to do it. I've only been riding for 4 years, but it's weird to think there are dozens of sections at my local trails that I had to walk down when I first started because they were too steep, too techy, too rooty, rocky, etc. Scared the dickens out of me. "How does anyone ride down this?!" I would think to myself. But I've rode thousands of miles on those trails, and now I breeze through those sections without even thinking about it. There was a time just 2 years ago when I would've thought riding chunky rock gardens was impossible. Yet now I ride through them.
Moral of the story: There's no substitute for experience.
No book, video, instructor, etc is going to make any MTB skill comfy for you. Practice, practice, practice.
BTW - just my 2 cents - if you can't find any curbs or banks to practice on, you can build wooden ramps dirt cheap, and best of all, they're small and portable. I built a 3 ft wide ramp that's 1 ft tall and 4 ft long. I can add boards to the bottom of the high side if I want to make it steeper/taller. The ramp can also be set up on the edge of a downhill slope, allowing you to get more air and practice sloped landings.
One of the simplest and best jumping videos I've seen. So true about practicing a lot.

I’ll be 49 next month and I’m learning to jump. Hitting the bike park twice a week and padded up from head to toe. Starting to get more comfortable on the green line but just rolling the blue line to get used to how steep the face of the jump is.
I definitely need more speed. I’ll work on that.
Hey Im pushing 44 and I just grabbed a new enduro and feeling as stoked as ever!!!
Fiberlock Abatement -
That’s awesome. Let me know how it goes. I’ve cleaned the blue line and still improving!
Good luck to you!
I can’t thank you enough. I used your advice, worked on hitting the green run over and over trying to pick up speed, also hit the bike park.
I commented three weeks ago and was rolling the blue line. Just cleared the blue line today! I’ll keep hitting that until I’m completely comfortable and can clean it consistently then move to the next blue run. After that it’s gaps *yikes!*
Best beginner jump vid I've seen
The most sensible jump video I’ve seen. Well done.
Just stumbled on your channel. Nice! I’m at the stage that you just put into words for me - I need to practice hitting jumps fast enough because otherwise the next step is fast AND steep. At the mo I’m steep and slow or fast and mellow! That’s a game changer for me. Will get out and practice.
Ya it's something I didn't realize when I was learning, I need to go big AND fast.
Very helpful video on learning how to jump. Straight to the point, go out and practise.
I like this dude..always providing "how to" from a beginner point of view.
Thanks! That was my goal, I know how hard learning new skills can be.
Man, thanks a lot for these vids. I learn a lot from you and I love MTBing even more since I found your channel. Thanks!
Thank you!
1:22 you can also jump off of the part of the curb where pedestrians normally go up and onto the sidewalk, where it dips down to the ground level then back up. where it goes back up, you can hit it sideways. you can also do the same thing, just with the curb going down for driveways, and if the driveways are close enough, there are some in my neighborhood, try and gap them.
wow wow this looks beautiful - i CantVanJump but like the design
This is the best explanation by far.
Edit: btw watched a ton of how to jump vids.
Very good explanation , heading out to the local trail as I type . Peace
Loving the more recent "how to" videos. Very well explained and presented in an approachable way! Keep it up!
Thanks!
Great editing! Also I really like the audio quality. Although I like your pov videos, this is quite the improvement quality wise. Thanks for putting in the work for our viewing pleasure.
Thanks! It’s nice to hear!
You must something When You pull up onto your handlebars you should always push into you handlebars so your rear wheel comes aswell but you said you lift up your rear wheel and didn't didn't explain it so I still love your channel keep up the content byeee👋
That’s the dirt jump park I learning to whip on! Lol
Nice!
Where is this? In Vancouver?
Love your videos, super informative and very well explained. A UA-cam I never fail to watch 👍
I know how to Jump and stuff but this is the best jump tutorial I'VE ever seen could you do a onefoot tabletop and onefoot tutorial
I have a question! How much of your jumping skills are practice and how much of it is because you are Canadian? ;) Great video man, hopefully Im currently trying to get better are jumping. Its crazy how hard it is to pick up!
It's probably 40/60 😝. Jumping feels wrong...until it feels right!
which one of you two needs to get better? Mo looks on point to me
You gave me hope. I am an older rider.
Burnaby Mountain Represent!!!!
ha yup!
I found it amusing that he sat on the rock with a posture akin to taking a polite poo on the toilet. Thanks and Great vid!
🤣
great tips!
Really love your video, thanks for posting them.
Thanks for the kind words!
Such a great vid, wise and usefull. I'd like to add a 6 point if you allow me to. According to my lastest crash experience : "When it comes to jump practice, don't forget to... Jump !" xD I mean, don't let your mind be distracted by some tiny details like "how high is my rear wheel ? Am I doin' this right" etc.. Just relax, think global and jump the whole thing.
Relaxing is great advice! Being in stiff in the air is bad news!
Nice one! I'm definitely going to hit up the skate park here in town for some practice, needs to be during they day while the kids are in school! lol, I'm intimidated by all the kids jumping better than I do! haha
early morning is the best time to go skate park is always empty
Nice simple explanations - 👍🏽
Awesome….really interesting video !! Piched up a bunch of points I' ll certainly put in my personal practice. Thank' s a lot. Keep going, I' m learning a lot from you !!
Thanks!
@@VanCan may I ask you something? My fear is landing with front weel and slip over the ground, left or right..... then fall down... How can I train to land with front wheel straight? And give up the fear to bend laterally the front wheel? Thanks
Love the new logo! 🤘... But I dislike the 2 very boring-lame people that threw down the 👎's
Boooo to the trolls! 😂
some people just want to see the world burn 😅
Thankyou Van Can thats a great video!! Very inspiring🙌
Thanks!
The dislikes are from the people that cant jump😂
thank you
Those jumps look sooo nice. So does the fog
Ya they’re awesome!
I love these videos!
Thanks!
Great practical ...everyday day Joe advice...keep it up!!!
Thanks!
I've been practicing up at SFU on the same jumps! :D
Nice!
Thank you man, its help me to jump little bit higher 👍
Awesome !
Tried jumping a big jump as a beginner. Front wheel landed before my back wheel, and I basicly faceplanted
Same hahah
Get comfortable on the bike and practice keeping your feet on doing bunny hops. After going out there and doing it you’ll learn to gauge speed and you’ll get style.
Good advice!
THX, I’m 13 but I think I have good jumping advice.
Where is that park
Love your channel bro. Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱🤟
Thanks!
Good advice 👍👍👍
I’m subbing
I can already jump, but I this is the best video for learning jumping that I have seen. I used those exact methods to learn to jump. Btw where is that place?
Sfu
VanCan what
Great Video
Excellent video 🤙
Thanks!
Where in Vancouver are these jumps they look good
You need to jump first to learn to be good! 🔥🔥
Woah that’s sfu bike park in north Burnaby!
Wow, Where is this located @vancan I would love to know! hopefully it's in Vancouver! Cheers
Great video!
Thanks!
Good stuff👍🏻
Thanks!
Where is that practice jump park located? Thanks for the vid!
i wish those middle tables had more kick.
My problem with jumping, it's my feet, I always loose my feet on the pedals...
great video
Thanks!
Burnaby mountain gang
Practice? Well i practice jumping once a month and spending 15 mins and yeahhh 1 foot up feels good. Haha, no kidding, just afraid to go faster. Thanks 4 d tip PRACTICE...
Is that a YT Capra? Or Canyon Torque? Nice vid, well explained👌
YT Capra !
Helpful!!!
What jump park is that? It looks dope.
When I practice on a curb I go front wheel first so how can I stop this and hit the ground on both wheels
What jump park is that?
It’s up on Burnaby mountain!
Where's that pump track?
My area has a total of 0 man-made jumps, just a few rock lips on a hiking trail or snowmobile trail. So there's no flow to them. When I hit them I always find myself doing that "dead sailor" or what ever you call it and both me and the bike are tilting and landing uncomfortably. I can bunny hop my hardtail about 8-12 inches (rear tire) with ease and comfort but I can't launch my bike properly off these (unconventional) lips. Is it just the jump? - lack of smooth run up area, flat landing, no straight or flat anything or is it just me? - not enough skill balancing for air time, bike is a 29er hardtail @ 31lbs so kinda big and heavy, needing more practice at steadying myself for the launch...
It could be all of those things. Just keep practicing!
what bike do you have???
Hey look it’s SFU
Ha yup!
Where is that Jump park?
I can hit the middle row but too scared to hit the doubles, should I just send it?
Maybe? You can hip the first jump to the right to practice.
Really a cool video, man! You have awesome style. Is that a Capra? I am thinking that will be my next bike!
Thanks! Ya that’s a 2018 YT Capra CF, 27.5
Worth it!
How long did it take you to get that right line so smooth? I keep having trouble on that line.
Well, I learned to jump quite a few years ago. But for me to learn how to hit similar sized jumps, going from right when I started, I'd say about 2 or 3 years.
@@VanCan I feel like I am a pretty confident jumper on a bike but jumps with such a kick (as the right line does) I can't seem to bunny hop it like I do for everything else.
I’m not asking for I bike but what is a good cheap bike because I’m poor
Giant makes some solid entry level bikes! Especially if you can find them on sale
If you want a full sus, a btwin 540s is like 500
@@elijahbeddoewhitfield8148 that is shit
Yeah but it's one of the cheapest 'trailworthy' full suspension bikes out there
how to buy your cycle brother, Im form indonesia
Your demeanor reminds me a little of Jeff Lenosky.
Love Jeff!
Hey Nic, how long have you been mountain biking?
3.5 years
I always hold my breathe when I'm jumping🤢
Ha I might do that too.
How to do in 1 step tho?
Edward Norton teaches bikes?
Newly sub. Can i ask what is the size of your bike? I am a beginner in mtb. I have 29er and it is hard for me to make a jump. Is 29er hard for jumping?
I have a large, 27.5. 29 is a bit harder but not impossible!
Hi Nick, is this in the lower mainland? I wanna polish my jumping skills for the next Whistler season 😬 thanks
That’s what I do! Ha. This park is on Burnaby Mountain.
Thanks 👍🏼 that Burnaby skills park?
No it’s the SFU dirt jumps.
I see, okay I’ll check it out. Thank you
Wow I never parcticed jumps specifically, my first day on a trail with tabletops I cleared most of them, they were small, but jumping is really natural to me
Van can I Stan
Facts
🤠🤘
Gees were are u and wat time is it?
I can’t find any good places to jump in riding distance the closest is a bmd track which is a 30min ride and the other is a 30min drive.
Might have to build some!
@@VanCan I have before but either they get ruined by the council Or I can't find a place to build some.
U r better than gmbn
Thanks!
What bike is that?
YT Capra CF!
Where is this track👀
torn down :(
No crazy squirrel this time?
They don’t play by my rules
step 1, practice bunny hops, etc. step 2, have first class jump park near your house. step 3, never mind trail riding or mtb, you need to practice jumping all day. step 4. never mind that whole job thing, you need to practice practice practice. step 5. have a first class jump park near your house.
Step 1: Yup
Step 2: I grew up in a town with no jumps, we built our own
Step 3: Ride trails with jumps?
Step 4: I've always had a job/ school
Step 5: See step 2
Do you need bunny hops for these ?
No but it helps.
