Sunday ride went great. Starting to practice little jumps.

Any advice on jumps is very welcome. Watched tutorials and videos and they are helpful to a certain level. How to land softer? or do i just need more speed? i bottomed out and it did not feel good. Very little jump in video 5:50.

While I'm no expert by any means, keep in mind momentum is your friend. A little more speed and landing on the throttle would probably take out the bottoming out on that jump. Same thing on those hill climbs; don't wait until you're on the slope to hit the gas, start accelerating as far away as possible. There were a couple of good examples from the other guys who made it look effortless. They had a lot more momentum before ever hitting the sloping part of the uphill. When it comes to those hill climbs the have a lip at the top, I've never been able to consistently do those correct every time. Looks like an awesome place to ride.

Thank you, will try it next time when we ride. yes the hillclimbs that have a edge at the top are hard to consitently reach the top, most of the time it helps to make the front a little lighter and give a little gas.
