Start by practicing the tuck motion on the ground to feel where the bars lock into your lap.

Approach the jump at your normal clearing speed

Pop the jump and stay slightly upright

Tuck the front wheel into your lap and lean your shoulders over the bars to lock them in

Hands off, out to the sides or slightly forward; move your head to one side to avoid the front wheel

Hands back, push down on the bars to guide the front wheel into the landing

Ride away clean and stoked

Tips: Don’t lean forward when tucking, and avoid pinching the head tube with your knees — a solid bar-to-lap lock keeps everything stable.
