How To Jump A Spine Ramp | BMX For Beginners

Рет қаралды 74,944

Күн бұрын

Starting out riding bmx and rolling up to a skatepark can be extremely intimidating.
Chances are there is a pre fab skatepark with a smaller spine close by to most people starting out and while it might look extremely scary, a small spine is one of the easiest scary obstacles to tackle.
This video covers the basic approach and prerequisites to jumping a spine as well as shows examples of each.
I hope that it can be of use to anyone interested in learning to jump a spine on a bmx bike!
If you're not quite ready to jump a spine, try learning to drop in first!

I can go over the spine at my skate park, but I don’t know how to air up a little bit. I think I keep hitting my sprocket or something. Wait, can you go at the spine at a slight angle to give your sprocket more room to clear as you go over?

Hey so, I ride both bmx and scooters. I've learnt many things on scooters even the spine and I can drop in on bmx too. However with the spine at our park it is taller than the box. Scooter wise I know I can ride up and rock it but bmx the scary part is the drop back in as I don't wanna die. Was wondering if their is any tip for a higher spine learn (5ft)

Landing the other side of a spine is kind of like dropping in from a rolling start on a quarterpipe with how you hop and nose into it to land smooth. So you can imagine getting into the air, then doing that.

@oldfartonabmx2122 3 жыл бұрын

So as an old fart, what's holding me back is not knowing how to get the nose back down. I can jump out of quarters onto flat, like was said and demonstrated in the video, but it seems to me that the secret is being able to get the nose back down, so that you're pretty much touching down both wheels at the same time on the other side. I didn't really catch how to achieve this in your video. I'm worried that I'll jump the spine, then land flat on the bottom of it 3 feet down... and thats a long way for my old knees, back etc... I might buy a sprocket guard and try crashing over slowly to start.

@Brant_Moore 3 жыл бұрын

It’s all in controlling your bike and hit pushing the front end down. The control comes with riding more and more. If you can somewhat nose down while doing a flyout, you’re ready.

@Brant_Moore Thanks; gave it a go this morning; not quite going off the spine proper, but just next to it where it tapers down a bit. Got that pretty sorted. Couple of times when I ventured over the full spine I landed a bit long but I think that’ll improve with time.
