    It's so satisfying when you finally clear those jumps and feel how smooth it is to land in the sweet spot. Once you get your front tire over the back of the table and feel a taste of the smoothness, it motivates you to commit and put the whole bike in that sweet spot.

    Literally at the bike park watching this video on the chairlift up.....
    I'm 48 years old and I just hit a tabletop using the anti-row and I finally know it feels like to fly!!! That weightlessness is the most addictive feeling..
    Great video pulling the bike into me the anti row has fixed all my issues and fears now I'm in control and flying through the air..

    It's been more than a year since I picked up the "Mastering Mountain Bike Skills" book and I'm consistency amazed at how much it has changed my view of the terrain while I'm out riding my bike. I honestly cannot believe what "heavy feet, light hands" along with attempting to always produce "sine waves of love" via rowing and anti-rowing has allowed me to go through unscathed. Thank you for sharing yours and Mr. Lopez's wisdom in that book! I realise how much there is to learn and improve on and I'm humbled and excited to continue my journey toward mastering the art of shredding! I hope one day we get the chance to ride together! All the love and all the power to you and the other shredders out there! BRAAAP!

Same thing goes in snowboarding when going off jumps. The technique for a small jump is largely the same as a big jump, but the commitment, confidence, and muscle memory has to be there.

    Damn it ...that was beautiful to watch her progression, must be my 10th view and each time it makes me smile celebrating her success....
    Thx Lee, a really thoughtful demonstration of how to slow your row through the jump (leverage the pull with your hands against the pushing of your feet/hips throughout the row) to compress the suspension throughout the jump. It really is a different and possibly simpler explanation of the fundamental suspension load / open up movement and its timing I have seen in other jumping videos I have watched over the years. I really wish I could join you in several of your courses.

  • @leeseoWestport
    @leeseoWestport 3 роки тому +1

    The timing is just like swinging on a swing set. The pull on the sing set get longer and longer as you get higher which, to me, is equivalent to a longer and longer row as the rollers are longer. So it seems the acceleration (due to the curve in the terrain) is what you row against just like the curve (arc) of the swing.

    Can't wait to try this as I've really hit a plateau and don't seem to be getting any better, one question tho all other tutorial videos talk about loading and unloading the suspension to help with the pop, but there's no mention of it here, why is that? Many thanks Lee

    • @lee_likes_bikes
      @lee_likes_bikes  2 роки тому +1

      James! Coach Andy here. We teach the row/anti-row method . A ‘proper’ row will load the back wheel with 2-3x your body weight. And you’re centered on the bike, so the front wheel also receives downforce. There is no vertical ‘pop’ element, though steeper lips will require a ‘handlebar to hips’ row which will put you in a more vertical plane. Regardless, a strong row is followed by an equally strong/fast anti-row!

  • @AceGoodheart
    @AceGoodheart 3 роки тому +1

    Hopefully I can learn how to jump soon. Not too many places near me to practice. I may have to build my own ramp. I will say though, watching a video on how to jump is one thing but getting out there and actually doing it is another. I hope I can apply what I've learned from these videos out on the trails themselves.

    • @lee_likes_bikes
      @lee_likes_bikes  2 роки тому

    First of all thanks for this free vid and advice. One question tho on larger jumps and gaps is standing straight up and tall (ie head up) not necessary to get the needed boost to clear?

    • @lee_likes_bikes
      @lee_likes_bikes  4 роки тому +1

      If you need your MAXIMUM boost, you'll need to stand tall. However, with good technique that's very rarely needed ... and not what I suggest practicing in the beginning.

    • @JZMartinez
      @JZMartinez 3 роки тому +1

      @@lee_likes_bikes Thx for clarifying that differentiation. Absent this comment, one could incorrectly infer that standing tall for max boost does not fit your "unifying theory." I, like many, need a clear amd concisely commumicated methodology 1st. Max boost probably isn't needed for most of the jumps on beginner to intermediate trails. Cheers! 👍

      Two years back I first found good tutorials and started learning techniques that helped to get bike control (Wheelies, Manuals, Drops, American Bunny Hops). No good pumptrack around here so I had to make do with what I've got. All along I watched tutorials and got the theory memorized. Last weekend I went to a Bike Park first time and thanks to the preparation I actually I jumped pretty okay on several occasions. I'm totally stoked! ^^

    Thanks for this vid. I'm gonna try this for more stability and confidence over medium tabletops. I have a BMX and freestyle background, but realized late in life that I learned a lot of bad habits that kept me crashing constantly. How would you compare/contrast your method of row/anti-row to what most other jump tutorials teach for "boost" jumping. Namely, the idea of "standing up" to jump and coming off the lip with arms extended like a bunny hop?

    • @lee_likes_bikes
      @lee_likes_bikes  7 місяців тому

      People who teach that method are missing some critical aspects of how bikes and bodies work. It can work in skilled hands, but I see time and time again how it 1) frustrates normal riders because it’s ineffective and 2) leads to injuries because it’s inherently dangerous.

      - Progressive (smooth bifocals)
      - Photochromic (tint changes in different light)
      - Polarized (less glare)
      - Special coating to being out trail details (Tom and his sons are bike/moto rippers)
      - Vents cut in the edges (to prevent fogging)
      These are by far the best riding glasses I've ever worn. I don't even wear goggles for DH or motocross.
      Tom works with a lot of my clients, and he works remotely.

    I have huge respect for you, and the lessons are great I'm just having trouble with a few things.
    Technically I cannot lift my feet, for those of us that think explicitly I need help with this terminology. If I lift my feet they will come off the pegs and my bum will go down to the seat, so what are we really saying? It seems one thing that might help me is to clarify the feet position during these different times, are our heels down real hard when we're pushing? And do we kind of bring our heels up till our toes go forward so then we can lift our feet cuz then they have traction on the pedals?
    So I found a BMX park in a community near me that had some nice rollers I struggled with them, however about a dozen times I felt I had some really good combinations of row anti-row because of a feeling I had.. the feeling was that I got myself light on the crest and then heavy in the trough, at first I just focused on light at the crest and did not try to get heavy just to see if I could think about that exclusively, and obviously it doesn't work for very long without the heavy. So I was wanting an instructor to tell me or someone to say yes that's it, we're getting heavy in the trough and light on the crest, and then I need to know where to get light cuz I think that was the hardest part cuz if you get light too soon you lose momentum if you get light too late it's all messed up in your front wheel.. probably going over.. or something... when I start to get to the finer points I start to lose it in my mind so obviously I lose it on the dirt.
    Also what does it mean to get heavier as you say in the row... push harder... I feel like I can only push so hard I can't push any harder I only weight so much.. do we mean push for a longer period of time or do you really mean harder?
    Thanks for all your videos and your time much appreciated!
    If anyone has advice for my dilemma please let me know.
    Thanks!

      Mac; Sorry for the delay. On those rollers, start with just arms and row (pull) into the troughs and anti-row (push) over the crests. Next, relax your arms for a few rounds and focus on legs: push down into troughs and "release" over crests. Then put everything together. You're right about timing - most riders start the pull too late and lose momentum. The pull is where the power comes from, the push is just to reset. If you're pulling hard (use your lats), then your heels must drop a bit - otherwise you pull yourself out of balance and lose the power. Give it more practice, and if you want some feedback let's set up an online coaching session.

    Luckily I do 10 toe touches every morning when I get up, so the hinge is a straightforward position. But it still took me awhile to master the row on the ground, so now I'm going to start doing a set of those every morning instead. I'm catching air on the ground, can't wait to try it on my bike! (Everything's frozen right now...) P.s., I had watched the hinge video before on JOB but this one really had it sink in. Thanks!!!

    She will have little to no issue since she already has most the base skills from being a pro. Blows my mind that so many xc pros can't jump.

    Awesome video Lee and Dani. Why though do you get pitched forward on a jump if your weight is too far back?

      HH: Simply put (thanks to complex physics) , if an object (rear wheel) gets heavy, next it gets light. And when it gets light, it wants to float.

    Very informative. Question - during the “roll” process are the arms pulling the bars more toward the chest or hips. From the video, it looks more toward the hips before the anti-roll up and away from the chest. Thanks.

    • @lee_likes_bikes

      Ben: pull the bars towards your hips. Think "back", not "up". Hope this helps. NamaStoke!

    Hi lee! Many jumps are saying to do bunny hops, and also stand tall then press down on the last minute then stand tall again in the lip, why is this jump crouch and head down all the way? Thanks hoping for a clear explanation thanks 🙏🏻

      This is simpler and easier to learn. It also keeps you in a safer position.

      Ya its safer and it prevents novices from doing a dead sailor. Which will likely happen if a new rider tries to stay upright.
