The most underrated common thread in your videos is your focus on the chest staying up and pointing down the trail rather than down with rolled shoulders. This was spot on for me. Front wheel lifts, J hops, drops and even jumping are all second nature after you’ve helped me discover I was a chest down rider when attempting these moves.

Dude awesome videos! I met you last year in Killington, I got a hole in my tire and you gave me 2 small bottles of sealant and saved my whole day of riding! That night you were also coaching a young kid and his dad in the vale road parking lot camping area. All around badass guy! So glad I found your channel.

Thanks for putting out this video so people like me can learn from advance riders. This is much appreciated.

Best drop instructions on KZfaq.

thanks man as a 52 year old with only 8 months experience, you are really helping me

Your points about chest and hip position are details I had never given any thought to. You're good at pointing out how trail features create different requirements from the rider. On a side note, notice my usage of your vs you're. Your content is great so please don't overlook the importance of accuracy in written communication.

I love love love your videos, thank you so much for this. One suggestion if I may: The video effect of the captions flowing in looks cool but makes at least my brain hurt. I think it would be better to just pop it in and out the classic way and not to "move it in" if that makes any sense.

very useful breakdown of the technique.. helpful indeed. been riding for some years always afraid of drops other than going down a steep.. now i'm going to find a couple small ones and put this to use and get started. Thx!

Great detailed explanation - thanks! Best I've found for bringing all the detail together that I was missing. Like you I don't live in the burbs so no kerbs to practise on. I'm going to use your scoot and stick methods. I already built a low boardwalk drop but not game to use it yet as I realise I have zero timing and will go OTB.

Really well explained. Great detail and slow motion really helps. Going to try it now.

Very clear instructions, super helpful, thank you for the sharing❤

great detail explanation with slowmo vid! NICE NICE NICE

Thanks!

pls make video about bump jump too, love all of your videos, thanks so much!

Excellent video, new subscriber

Thank you for the tutorial.

Easy to practice these techniques off of a curb. Try to land both tires at the same time.

A curb is actually a better way to practice this exact concept. The idea is to land both wheels at the same time when riding off of a curb.

Great video🤘

Thank you! I just started my journey and have a lot to learn. These detailed videos surely come in handy! If I may: The amount of detail is almost overwhelming: I have trouble watching the video/slowmo/stills while listening to the narration while reading the on screen text while simultaneously paying attention to any green lines being drawn. The varying audio quality adds to the distraction. Maybe a clip-on mic that is used both on the track and for the voice-overs could remedy that?

I appreciate you!

Great

While knowing and being able to perform that technique is important, I find it a bit problematic when the drop "lip" is not flat. If the lip is uneven or there is something at the end of the lip, having your whole weight on the rear of the bike will cause you to get bucked over your bars

There are 2 types of drops. Ones that I will ride, and ones that I won't ride.

Thank you for the video. Do you have any comments about the "get low and push the front wheel down to the ground asap" method?

Some tips: wEIght, not wIEght, down, not donw. awarEness vs awarness.

thanks for taking the time, I know you don't have too

are you going to do one on drops to a steep landing

It's not the actual "push technique". You're showing semi-manual/pull technique which should definitely not be a default one, but could be used as the last resort, if your speed is too low. The proper "push" technique requires you to go down and slightly forward with your chest over your stem and then push with your arms forward (or forward and down at the angle of the landing) and that push movement keeps your front wheel moving more forward than down with the gravity. The faster you go, the more subtle the push movement should be.

If you are going so slow, that you need to manual before the drop, then you should not be dropping. if you manual too soon, you can have a lovely over the bar face plant going over the edge of the drop. Just keep the speed, keep your body neutral stans. let you bike just ride over the edge with out pulling up or down and let the bike drop naturally. During the drop You will naturally drop your legs a bit and straiten your arms out a bit to absorb the shock when you land. No need to make it so complicated.

2 Types of MTB Drops. Not 2 Typed. Good information though

Get rid of the eBike you too young

Nice techniques and Trek e-bike but that hairdo has got to go.

Thanks!
