    Yuka, your videos are the first ones that I've seen that seem to have an actual message with each video. And you have such a compelling way to tell your story. Thanks for sharing these. And thanks for the lessons! I'm looking to get to a point where I can jump more. Not too many options near my home (the nearest park that has a jump line of any quality is at least an hour and a half away). But I'm not going to let that stop me from learning.
    Stay upright and keep the rubber side down!

    The amazing thing is how forgiving modern bikes are. You went riding straight through the rocks, but your bike handled it good without throwing you off. Eric cased completely cased a jump, but the suspension soaked most of it up, and even all the little cases where the back wheel just touches down too early don't bounce you so bad that you end up over the bars.

    • @VanGirlYuka

  • @GriffinBikePark
    @GriffinBikePark 4 роки тому +3

    The tape measure is such a good idea! I think I will have to start doing that and maybe I can carry a sharpie too and mark the underside of the tape with the dates and lengths of the new jumps I clear....🤔💭📏

  • @tyleryoung8994
    @tyleryoung8994 4 роки тому +1

    Try focusing more on pumping into the jump right before taking off of the lip. When i first started hitting bigger jumps i had trouble pushing into the lip but after a while i got used to the motion and my jump skils improved since pushing into the lips got me higher and I wouldnt even think about casing which is what you are doing when going off the lip. It seems as if you just don't want to commit and it causes you to case but it's amazing to watch how you improve every video, keep on shredding Yuka!

    • @VanGirlYuka

    Oh Yuka, your videos are so much fun! I would love to know what is that you always say as your are jumping. Now I am using some words as i jump too. It helps me to relax and set my mind in such a way that I bealive i am pushing a little bit harder, just enough to clear the jump, specially when its been hard to fully commit.

    If I find a jump scary I just crash. Not on purpose. I just crash. It's a nice feeling once you clean features with ease that previously rattled your bones.

    • @VanGirlYuka
      @VanGirlYuka  4 роки тому +1

      You might want to decide that you would NOT crash even though you feel scary. I was scared when I realized that I was jumping towards the wall but I really didn't want to crash so I determined that I definitely not going to crash! Stay strong 💪💪💪
