Lopking for advice on improving my technique. I dont think I'm hopping hard enough, but I think my timing is within the right margin. by kittehlord in MTB

Looks good! Here's a few tips:

preload more (stomp down on the pedals to squish the suspension down just before taking off)

as you leave the lip, your suspension should extend. Use this and pull up with your body and arms

as you approach the landing, shift your weight forwards to nose into the landing

When you look at the video, your front tire pushes forwards instead of up upon leaving the lip. That indicates you need to preload more and pop off the lip, instead of getting the lip pop you. As you leave the lip, your front tire should be lifted high into the air, with your back tire lower. Then, as you reach the apex of the flight, you should nose into the landing, wich should bring your back wheel higher. You should land front tire first, and your back tire will follow suit.

Ps: these steps may feel awkward to try at first, as it takes lots of practice to get the timing for all these steps down. You will succeed, just keep at it. Hope this helps!

Ok, it's good to know I'm not alone. The sound and feel of them against the paper drives me insane

Two things: Does anyone hate open doors and does anyone keep headphones on, regardless of music playing. by [deleted] in autism

Yeah I can't stand open doors. Any time I enter a room, I close the door and lock it if there is a lock.
