A Short Cut in Learning to JUMP? How high will you go?

Описание: “Stand up to the jump” and the two-wheel lift might feel like quick fixes—but they’re actually holding your riding back.
In this video, I break down why the J-hop is the best jumping method for riders at any level. It’s not just about clearing bigger jumps—it’s about learning how a bike actually leaves the lip and how your body should work with it.
The J-hop is built on core mountain bike skills:
• Front-wheel control
• Timing and separation
• Using the bike’s suspension correctly
• Creating height and distance efficiently
The best part?
This method can be broken into simple steps that you can practice on flat ground, then apply to mellow jumps before taking it to bigger features. No guessing. No bad habits. Just real progression.
If you’ve been stuck, casing jumps, or feeling inconsistent—this is probably why.
📌 Learn the right way now so you don’t have to unlearn bad habits later.

I’ve set up a Mission Fund for The Shred Academy with the goal of doing more in person for the MTB community — not just online.
Beyond continuing to make the best free MTB coaching content on YouTube, this fund helps open the door to riding with you where you actually ride. That means more time traveling to local trail systems, ride-along days with your crew, free pop-up coaching sessions, community clinics, and giving back through trail volunteering at the parks I visit.
The videos will continue either way. This Mission Fund also helps us upgrade our filming setup so breakdowns are clearer, cleaner, and easier to follow — especially on trail. Tools that allow the camera to follow the movement make it easier to show body position, timing, and technique in a way any rider can understand and actually implement.
Because we live and travel 365 days a year in the van, removing the biggest overhead cost allows me to be more available on the ground — showing up to bike parks, trail systems, and communities instead of staying in one place.
This isn’t about changing the content — it’s about making it better, more accessible, and more community-driven.
