Being able to do smaller drops (that are not rollable) from a stop is a valuable hard enduro skill. I fell like the tendency of less advanced riders is to want to hit all drops with momentum, but in many cases that is not possible or creates more risk on the run out. I just learned this skill in the last year or so and it’s helped a ton.
I'm not a hard enduro rider, but there's plenty of technical drops and jumps I face on the trails. Now I know why I never liked the feeling of landing on rear wheel down. I always use my weight to orient the landing level or a little biased to the front. Thanks, I'm going to think about the technique I use a little more now.
The No1 best tool to get super confident on this stuff and steep down hills and all your riding in general is Mountain bike riding. The only thing to be aware of is on a moto the is bike is usually the heaviest thing. On a MTB, YOU are the heaviest thing. Eg in technical cornering. You put the moto where you want to go and then you can hang right out off the side then pull yourself back to the bike. In Mtb you put your body where you want to go and push and pull the bike from and too you. Essentially your body cuts the corner while the bikes go around the corner in each situation. It just changes in what thing has the most inertia. Clear as mud ay?

It can be tricky and intimidating to even try at first. Thanks for more context and insight, Ryan👍

@@DaveHaze-q6t thank you man! I appreciate it!
I was doing downhill mtb before I bought a road trail! Definitely a bonus for the drops🥳

It's all about feel! Keep practicing, it takes time to get used to.
Some very helpful tips thankyou.
Glad it was helpful!
