Awesome session. I've been working hard on my positive vibes. Lots of "yes" head nods. 🙌🙌🙌

There is this pressure on 40ish riders (like I am) to progress on riding skills bec we don't have that much time. But we tend to forget that it's all about having fun and hanging out with friends.

Great vids man, I'm predicting this channel will blow up if you keep up this kind of content and quality!

I'm a first generation mtbr 50yr old getting back into it ..and it's been those 17year old kids that have pulled me out of my self...they are super accepting..well I did adopt them a little but I've found a massive part of my old riding with these kids....big shout out to kids teaching us pastmasers to raise our game again....

I wish I'd found this 15years ago. I have avoided jumps most of my riding life, I can never get it to click. In fact over the last 5 years I've had several accidents that have taken me of the bike for long periods. I'd come to the conclusion that jumping wasn't for me. Until I found your channel that is... Having watched your pump track video, I went to our local pump track and came off. Now having physio on my right shoulder. I'm 53 by the way and no intentions of quitting.

so glad i found this channel. good stuff dude. 45 here snd learning more every ride

These are the 2021 vibes I need, just discovered you channel after stumbling upon the jumping over 40 dude hitting the whale tail

This is fun. I'm 41 years old and just starting to learn how to jump. 😊

Really like this one and can relate 100%. I have EXACTLY the same problems your friend is having on the jumps. At my age, the consequences are just too high to rush it. So I get the reps in every single time I hit the trails. Slow and steady. Positive but not "send it man" confident.

When I was a kid, maybe 14, I remember the first time I faced a dirt jump, it was a hack, very improvised jump and I had a very cheap bmx bike, I remember heading towards it without fear and going over the big hole in the middle, I crashed a few times at first but the moment I did it the first time and felt the weightlessness at the top of the jump I understood what it was all about, and I started to crave that fraction of a second when all vertical forces equalled zero. But it was the crew what made it special, everyone was cheering for me and celebrating my progress. Then I started uni and then got a job, and then one day I realized it's been over 15 years since the last time I faced a giant, nowadays I don't even have a bmx anymore, though I'll be buying one in the upcoming months, been riding on my trusty gravel bike with a mtb handlebar and I've realized I can't even bunnyhop anymore, your videos been helping me get into it and learning a bit of the technique I wish I understood during my short stint in the past millenium, but now you make me wonder if the lack of a crew supporting me is a bigger factor than what I thought on what's been stunting my growth and recovering the confidence of the early days. Thanks.

Glad I found your channel. Loving the videos

Hey Alex! As a 48 yo guy with a kid and a job that requires I stay in one piece, I just want to say THANKS for the videos! I have been subscribed to Kyles channel for a few months now and just found yours. Love his stuff and it has helped me, but watching someone "older" helps my mental game and I like the way you break the skills down. I rode dirt bikes my whole life and got into MTB around '90 with a Trek 850... Stopped doing any of it after my son was born 14 years ago. Started getting back into it 5 years ago with him in Mammoth of all places. Now with COVID, we both have new used full sus bikes and are hitting the locals every weekend. Looking forward to watching all of your videos. Eric

love the vibe you have man... more of it... its not about nailing the jump , its about hanging with friends and riding our bikes. We all forget that msg, especially on youtube with its 'eye candy' bike wizards...

“Casing is a skill.” That’s the most excellent thing I think I’ve heard you say. And there’s so much excellence I didn’t think you could top yourself. Keep spreading the stoke!

Broo this is big help for me as a newbie to jumping. Thank you.

Great vids Alex, looking forward to seeing more. Thanks!

Hey new subscriber and plan on staying one, awesome content. I'm back into mtb after 20+ yrs (thank you COVID), and really dig the vibe of your channel, the most relatable I've subscribed to. I've gained more knowledge on jumping, bunny hops and body mechanics in 2 of your vids than in the last 3 months! Cheers!

Great channel it has to be said . Absolutely super.. like the whole vibe you have going. .

The best thing Coulter has going for him is a knowledgeable friend willing to help and show him how to progress. I wish I had that valuable asset. Thanks for the video!

Love this video and your honest approach. Our competitive spirit coupled with impatience regarding our progress leads to a lot of the negative vibes. Wish winters in Alberta didn't take me off my bike for 6 months every year.

I liked The Lesson ... how true ... sometimes focussing on the result gets in the way ... Im trying to learn to jump at 60 yrs old and i think the "target" is painting too big a picture in my head ... Im gonna go back to just hooning with my buddies who CAN jump and see what rubs off on me ...

One thing never ever do the following when learning or trying to progress. 1. Try to learn more than one thing at a time. 2. Move on till you are 100% with 1. Going to the large jumps when the small jumps were not right has actually pushed you back. You won't do the big jumps till the smaller ones are good technique. Also don't go from 3 foot to 10 foot since medium line was out then the day was done rather work the small line and make them perfect.

Sheesh, going from the small line to that large jump is ridonkulous. Props for your buddy being brave enough to even go case that. I've spent days on the smalls and mediums and the mental strength it takes to push it up a notch is not an easy thing. (But thats probably because I didn't see your jump tutorials yet) : )

Great vids. I'm 49 and in the UK.. always rode xc, avoided drops and jumps. Got a new trail bike now move over to trails. Tried a tiny jump , got some air but my technique is rubbish

Bro, you videos are life lessons. Learn how to ride, and apply this to life..🔥🔥🔥

I've only watched 3 videos so far and feel I can apply so much to myself and mountain biking. My struggle is fear, I grew up racing BMX and jumps were nothing, now being 41 I have developed this fear to only jumping yet want to jump so badly!!! I'm fast downhill and comfortable riding overall, I do well when accidentally led into the unknown. What I want is you to come to Georgia and help and what I need is you to come to Georgia to help me get past this and progress!!! Lol, no really your videos are great and I think helpful for most. Going to start applying your techniques and positive vibe to my routine! Keep it up

Holy shit this resonates, man. I was just going through the same thing a couple of weeks ago on the small line, and never did get where I wanted, but I certainly progressed enough to make the next session significantly more educational. Right on for pushing that comfort zone! Excited to see the progression, and some great tips in this vid... also not a Stones fan. Keep 'em coming!

This feels so much like me: I can even see the same jump not going as I wanted.. But you know what? This is what helps me understand and motivates me to go out there another day and try again. I like to learn from my mistakes and, more importantly, from others mistakes because we are all humans and not just we all do mistakes but we often make similar mistakes. It's a learning process, everyone learns differently, but learning together helps our progression. Mountain bike is an amazing sport and Alex, your videos prove it through and through! PS: can we have a status update from Coulter? How far has he progressed? :)

Hilarious 🤣, ok you got a new subscriber!

So true...

No idea how I ended up here - I went out for some milk and bread... anyway, I've subscribed. Just starting back after 20-odd years away from MTB and I'm digging the style and substance of your vids 🙌 I just need some friends to share the experience with (too busy being 50+) and I want to practice.

Maybe try towing him in to take the guesswork out of getting enough speed. I had similar issues and as soon as my friend towed me in, I nailed it.

epic ending brotha

I just need to see you again over and over.

Now I miss my old Cherokee, damn you New Hampshire road salt.

Teens - “Just send it bro”. And the positive vibe was broken. Ha ha ha.

This is where i am currently on my jump progression, i keep coming back to the jump line and practicing. Every single time i try to find zen and push harder. If you find that you are getting exhausted then relax and save for another day and pick up where you left off. This was my lesson learned after a landing on my front wheel, poping it and launching like a catapult (ps falls and wipes are all part of the learning and fun)

Watching ser

thats not a bunny hop. he is hopping the whole bike and not separating the front and the back

Fantastic vids. You both improve each other thus making us improve riding & attitude. I'm 62 just took up mountain biking & bought my first MT bike last month. Only rode 2 times on trails so far. Watching your videos has made the riding from the first time to the second time a 100% improvement in body position & 100% improvement in looking at the trail in a positive mode. If that makes sense? I ride with a girl who has rode for 10+ years. "We used your vids on sizing my next mountain bike" and she finally found out why she hated her 6 year old Men's Small current bike it was 13cm to long with the short ladder test. She's waiting for her new bike to come in. 1 thing I ask of you is everybody told me to pick MY LINE & RIDE IT when riding on the trail. If I don't know how to pick an f-ing line then how can I f-ing ride it? Could you do a vid on picking the correct line? Then how to ride it? I know old guy long winded comment sorry.

Coulter!!! Get that bike OFF your roof and onto a hitch! Don’t learn the hard way lol I and so many others have ruined bikes this way. It’s a matter of when, not if that you drive it into a garage.

I'm at 8:40, the teenage suicide prevention segment, black and white, minor keyed music. Really excellent.

10/10 would ride with these lads.

I'm 51 used to ride a ton when I was a kid was actually a privateer for free agent in the '80s never really jumped. Now I'm fighting cancer and want to learn how to jump do you have any videos doing this on a hardtail? I know many would say it's no different but it seems like it would be the compression of the suspension on these bikes seems like it would help a little where they wouldn't have that luxury on a hardtail

Is that the soft topper on a gladiator?

Nice job, Coulter! I find that the title of a trail or line (black or large) can totally kill the vibe and put me into intimidation mode. How do you stop that from happening?

Great video! And please say hi to Coulter for me!

European vs American bunnyhops, how polarizing of you Alex. Just kidding, love the videos, good vibes. Greetings from Europe ;-)

He did great. Probably got it next time. Best not to push something too much on the wrong day. I saw a kid get paralyzed with " one more try " on a triple that he just wasn't comfortable with . very sad.

I WANT bigger jumps, but I NEED a shovel

Definitely fell and broke my right acl

Please do a vid on switchbacks. 🚵

Could you go over park PSI… I ride Sedona all the time at like 17 psi so I am completely foreign to parks and jumps…

Im 37 and can’t jump well either. I would have had a few words for those kids talkn crap. Just words though. Violence sucks.

Hey there, Love you videos. What is the camera you use on you chest?

I need Alex back

"Who is steering? more like, how is he steering it?"

Positiv vibes... negativ vibes .... you always have to be realistic and sometimes accept when you are not ready for it, even when it wents frustrating. The most positiv thing is not to crash. But yeah. Hanging arround with friends and hitting some laps makes it easier and is more fun.

I suck the bike up too early as well fearing I will miss the lip

No issues with assembly for me kzfaq.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

I can feel with your buddy. What i see is that he destroy a lot of energy at the jump cause he is bending hes knees to much.

That case could use a good lawyer

he needs to boost it more.

I didn't like the Stones either. I'm an Iggy Pop guy.

No time to take the helmet off! Surprised you don’t drive with it on in your car

Definitely not a "Stones" fan, maybe ACDC or TOOL.

What does 'whiffed' mean in US English? in the UK it means he smelled, so I'm going to assume you meant he spectaculary farted on every take?

#horriblebosses

*Not a Stones fan either...way over rated...what I want is some videos on how to ride skinnies! What I need is more time to work on some skills!

17 yr old dorks... Did the big children intimidate you. Grow up he was jumping about 3ft whats tha about a grand a foot.
