I’ve been following along with Dusty for the last few months and have recently rewatched the J-hop video and I think it’s starting to sink in ….What made this all click is that I have recently noticed that I can do small “bump jumps”really good because the little bump at the lip is a visual and tactile timing device…. It also helps gets my front wheel up and then I push thru my feet until I feel that bump on my tire. After watching this latest video I see why, now I need to translate it to real jumps. Thanks for breaking it down, I can tell you really put a ton of thought into this.
1000% nailed the critique of 'stand up to the jump.' It's a shame the 'stand up to the jump' video has so much traction but hopefully your vids start reaching people. Nice work
You give the best MTB jump tutorials on YT! Following on IG as well. So many generic jump tutorials out there. I did watch the Loam Ranger video, and was using that technique, but I've been progressing more with your videos. I've been riding a few years now, and am in my 40's now, and try not to do too much crazy stuff, but it sure is fun sending jumps and drops. Keep it up!! 🤘🤘
The rap was realy funny! I learned to jump better than before when The Loame Ranger posted his video 2 years ago, but I understand how I can take my jumping to the next level and safely now. It is wintertime here in Norway and I hate not to be able to practice right now. Thanks for your videos 🙂
Good to see a well explained breakdown of the problem. Most very good mtb-ers have the bike skills, but not the ability to analyse and communicate in a way that can be absorbed & understood by the learner. As a 60yo E-mtb rider who isn't good on jumps - I find you need to grasp the fundamentals- as just "sending it" carries bigger penalties for us old farts 😊
I think the stand up 'technique' is simpler to understand for 90% of people and even easier to start practicing. I still believe it's useful, as beginners on jumps need to feel the air time and the standup makes it possible. (It certainly helped me). Now your examples and explanations absolutely hit the jackpot and there is no denying that jumping up the jump can lead to crash and is 'less cool', 'less air time', but (again to me) - it's easier, safer as a beginner jumper. I will, however, start using other technique where and when possible, since it really is so much different and better. Cheers for content and funny rap :)
Thanks for the comment. However how can it be safer when it actually leads to more crashes. The jhop method leads no risk, might take alittle more learning but easier is not safer. And muscle memory will screw you once you want to progress to steeper and longer jumps. Be careful out there
@@Theshredacademy cannot wait for your video on how to do the steeper ones with the jhop. Pt3 maybe? :) To me jhop feels more scary as you need to initiate this 'move hip' backs move of the lip which is already scary (remember - talking about beginners). I speak about what works for me as a beginner, but will definitely take decisions based on your video.
I have zero problems getting a nice front wheel lift at the start of a j-hop, but struggle with the part where the hips move forward and into the bars. I feel off balance and sketchy doing it. Will keep trying. 👍👍
I rode BMX as a kid and I didn’t realize until very recently that everyone didn’t all do the j-hop. I just thought j-hop was the norm. Same time I started hearing roadie/XC guys say you can’t bunny hop without clips. Left me so confused, but makes more sense that they try to 2-wheel hop and pull with the feet.
Great instruction and I think I finally understand and can see what I’ve been doing wrong for so long and never felt confident in the air on my bike. Can’t wait to practice this
Bro if coaching MTB doesn’t pan out you always got the rap game…that was sick….and, in regards to the “stand up to the jump” technique, it didn’t work much for me. My timing was off (still is) and I would just stand instead of keeping compression throughout the full lip. Still struggling with this but you keep teaching, we keep watching and learning. See you around MK. Cheers.
I’d be curious what you think of April ride mtb, video how to jump. They teach jumping up as well but somehow keep rear tire compressed through the whole ramp. Be cool to see you break that down as well.
@@RaymondLavoie-i9i I just looked and the only one I saw was from 2 years ago. Hmmmm 3 ways to jump, the title made me cringe. I mean sure, you cans scrub, straight air, boost. But I’m sure that’s not what it’s about. With all the really bad info on UA-cam made by the Covid Mtbr boom I try to stay away for my sanity’s sake 😂. But I’ll give it a try one day when I’m feeling frisky. Cheers thanks for watching man
@ it’s the (3 easy ways to jump-how to jump a bike)one from 4 years ago. I was just curious what you would think on what he taught . Appreciate response. They have two videos. Appreciate all your videos
No comment , to assist the algorithm . Still trying to work out how a dirty great branch leapt off the side of the track in between my rear tyre and frame just before I hit the jump.
At first when I watched your videos, I just thought its the same as the others, lot of talking etc. BUT in the air there is much deepness into the tecnique. So I changed my opinion, very good insight and thx for that! 🎉🎉🎉
Musically speaking, I really like your rap! I can't wait to get my Polygon Siskiu T7 off the ground in a proper J-hop! It'll be a challenge because it is a heavy bike, some 38+ pounds. Congrats on closing in on 7k subs and your new sponsor!
Your aproach is correct, but as two wheel jumper I must say, you are not using the two wheel jump correctly :D When I try the "correct" way how to jump its much more uncontroll because I'm not use to jump that way. Also I don't like hights and steep jumps two wheel just didn't send you to the moon cause you are ignoring top of the take off.
This guy deserves so much more support and recognition
Thank you so much 🙏
Amen bro ❤❤
Me like!
Yes, awesome video. Thank you.

Brilliant absolutely brilliant 🎉 Regards Tony Sadler South Wales UK 🏴🎄👏👏
I like your debunking of standing up to the jump.
Good to see a well explained breakdown of the problem. Most very good mtb-ers have the bike skills, but not the ability to analyse and communicate in a way that can be absorbed & understood by the learner. As a 60yo E-mtb rider who isn't good on jumps - I find you need to grasp the fundamentals- as just "sending it" carries bigger penalties for us old farts 😊
great visualization of both methods! ...loved your rap :D
Glad you liked it!
That is *exactly* my problem when jumping. Will try out your technique next!
Great video Dusty
Thanks!
the real slim dusty!

As someone who went OTB on a steep jump using the standup technique I say stick to mellow jumps if you are using it. A broken collarbone is no fun.
@@DavidDartsch no plans using it on steep ones - thanks and hope you recovered well!

"The front tyre leaves first". Thanks. Without this info I wouldn't have known how to jump.
awesome video!
Thanks!
