How to learn to jump on a mountain bike

1. Choice of jump


The choice of the jump is very important: ramp and landing not too inclined and not excessive length. The top must be flat for safety and learning reasons.

2. Understand your jumping style

3. Clean approach

Clean Ramp Approach: Give yourself space before the ramp to stop pedaling and get into position. Visual references to the base of the jump (such as a pin, a stone or whatever) can come to help and, when you see this object, stop pedaling, bend your legs and arms slightly and get ready to jump.

4. Look

Put 2 references on the top of the jump: they will help you keep your focus and understand when your bike will “take off”. We have created the ideal conditions for the jump, now for the practical space for the video tutorial.

5. Jump - phase 1 (pre ramp)

I stop pedaling and keep a comfortable position. Slightly bent arms and legs.

6. Jump - phase 2 (ramp)

I begin to stretch out to the highest point.

7. Jump - phase 3 (deadlift)


I begin to stretch out to the highest point, I fold up with my legs and arms slightly bent in anticipation of the landing.

How to improve the jump? What are the precautions? Space for the video tutorial.

My passion for 2 wheels was born watching my father wheelie with his creeper when I was little. It was a constant challenge to those who walked several meters without hands or with the wheel up. I live 200 m from a bmx track and I attended it every time the BMX-VERONA team did not train then at 16 I decided to buy my first bmx and sign up. Today I am still part of the team but as a 1st level coach. BMX has given me so much for the thing I like most ... riding in the bike park! My secret dream is to put the wheels in the most famous American bike parks.
