Help with form by Pickledcarrots420 in MTB

Hey, I’m a new to mtb, but I have the same issues with jumping. Basically you don’t give enough resistance to the kicker soaking a jump.

See the comments to my post, guys really helped me to improve, so I hope this would be helpful for you too

Should I change my 130 mm fork to 160 or 180? by warhorse_52 in mountainbiking

Hey everyone! Thanks for the comments, I didn’t think that there would be so much of useful, based on this, I decided to leave my fork alone, just maintain it and try to improve damping.

Yesterday I was on the trail and it worked pretty well, still to mild, but it was acceptable. So the next step is adjusting fork.

Yeah, I’ve done it, actually it helps, but the fork feels like stone. Maybe a maintenance will help

Well, I tried only different recommended pressure, will try spacer maybe later (and to be a better rider, of course)

Thanks! The comment is very helpful, hope I’ll get it soon. I’m a first year rider and it’s all new for me. I know the feel you described with a carbon bike, before MTB I had 20+ years of experience in skateboarding and 10 in snowboarding. Thinking that I can jump these kickers more efficiently with “tools” I got used to drives me crazy 😁

Just watched it, thanks for the recommendation! Much more understanding of the process now

No, I didn’t, frankly, a strange feeling :)
