This girl's attitude is just phenomenal. Bravo!

This is one of the best jump tutorials I've seen. Thanks so much for putting it out there.

''I want to get air'' The only acceptable answer to ''why do you wanna jump?''

It's so satisfying when you finally clear those jumps and feel how smooth it is to land in the sweet spot. Once you get your front tire over the back of the table and feel a taste of the smoothness, it motivates you to commit and put the whole bike in that sweet spot.

Literally at the bike park watching this video on the chairlift up..... I'm 48 years old and I just hit a tabletop using the anti-row and I finally know it feels like to fly!!! That weightlessness is the most addictive feeling.. Great video pulling the bike into me the anti row has fixed all my issues and fears now I'm in control and flying through the air..

I've watched a shitload of jumping videos and riding tutorials and you sir, are a legend. This is such a fantastic video and explanation, the editing, the technical and simplicity. This is such a great example of how real youtube videos like this are KING.

I can't believe all the good information online these days. I'm 55 and been riding mtb since I was 19. I've done a lot of scary stuff but seeing it this ways is so informative. I have a 5 year old boy that I use all this info with. Thanks Lee. Thanks to you as well Dani. Good luck racing.

This is it! I watched went to pump track and got some air. Feels good. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge!

I watched it again the second time, 2 months later, after trying different techniques on the pump track, this video makes so much sense. Thanks Lee.

It's been more than a year since I picked up the "Mastering Mountain Bike Skills" book and I'm consistency amazed at how much it has changed my view of the terrain while I'm out riding my bike. I honestly cannot believe what "heavy feet, light hands" along with attempting to always produce "sine waves of love" via rowing and anti-rowing has allowed me to go through unscathed. Thank you for sharing yours and Mr. Lopez's wisdom in that book! I realise how much there is to learn and improve on and I'm humbled and excited to continue my journey toward mastering the art of shredding! I hope one day we get the chance to ride together! All the love and all the power to you and the other shredders out there! BRAAAP!

Thanks, I came here after watching joy of bikes, I hope this channel takes off, keep it up .

This is so helpful. I need to delay my row into the jump and get more boost!

What a great teacher and SUCH an enthusiastic pleasant student!

That head popping up comment was exactly what I needed! Fixed that and the hips and hinge all fell into place. Thanks, Lee!

Dani already has skills, she did great on this, its good to see a great rider like her that understands what she is doing already, an can see how to improve so easily,, she makes you look good, great vid.. thanx...to both of you !!!!

thanks for this awesome video, Dani is awesome and Lee is a wonderful teacher!!!!

Thank you so much! After watching many tutorials and having no success, this is the one that helped me progress. For me it is focusing on pumping my legs harder. That seems to stop me trying to pull too much with my arms and lose balance. Love your videos! I'll keep working on it over here in NZ :)

Such a simple and elegant explanation. Dude knows best. I had to sub.

Thanks mate, i have been trying to teach my friend to jump and i couldn't find the words to describe why he was getting thrown forwards but this will really help :)

You're an excellent teacher. Love watching these vids, especially with you teaching someone already proficient at biking.

This is the best description of jump body position and timing I’ve seen, can’t wait to try and improve my riding with these tasks and drills 🤘🏼

this is exactly what i am doing ,,, standing up, pushing my head high and fwd ... doing it all and too early ,,,, gotta try to keep my head low and row .... looking fwd to trying this ... ive watched SO MANY vids and nobody has made this clear befor .... THANKS Lee

I always tell people that PROPER TECHNIQUE = SAFETY and these vids are super important for the safety of riders trying to develop their skills. Same thing goes in snowboarding when going off jumps. The technique for a small jump is largely the same as a big jump, but the commitment, confidence, and muscle memory has to be there.

After watching many tutorial videos I’m glad I watched yours.The way you explained made sense . I tried it at the trail today and I could feel the difference. Thank you!

I have learned a lot from this video. So many other riders teach a "pop" technique or even to pull up on the bars. This tutorial makes it all about one simple pumping technique. I can't wait to go and give it a try.

Lee, I'm 59 years old, and I have being watching lots of How to Jump tutorials, many different approaches, some good and others no so good really. This one... I think you nailed it! Your recipe has every needed ingredient in the exact quantity and order... Best Tutorial ever! Thanks so much.

Learning from doing something wrong, but understanding what you did wrong. Hard work will always pay off.

Excellent instructional vid . Tells me I need to up the pumping skills and the only jumps I've been clearing were mostly speed bunny hopping

Just bought your book this week. It is absolutely fantastic. Thanks mate. The German translation is great, too.

This is by far the best jump tutorial and you both are just such wonderful beings!! It's amazing to watch you having fun and a good time 🎉 it made me completely understand my mistakes and what I need to do, thanks a bunch!! 🙏🙏

Lee, thank you so much this video. It has made a tremendous impact on my jumping ability. The head down has made a world of difference in my approach!!!

Really nice to see a good teacher and a good student working well together. This is really useful to a learner jumper, I know I make ALL these mistakes right now so I'm keen to learn

That wave drawing with the table top and gap blew my mind. So simple. THANK YOU!

I like that your style of teaching teaches us to do the "feature" and keep going. Most other channels just focus on the feature alone.

Hi Lee after watching you on joy of bikes I found this vid and it’s just awesome! You have officially learned me to jump with your “row/antirow” technique! I’m now jumping anything and everything, even the tiniest of jumps. Thanks dude! Greetings, Salutations and God bless you!😎👍🏻

I totally clapped at 20:55. Nice work!

Damn it ...that was beautiful to watch her progression, must be my 10th view and each time it makes me smile celebrating her success.... Thx Lee, a really thoughtful demonstration of how to slow your row through the jump (leverage the pull with your hands against the pushing of your feet/hips throughout the row) to compress the suspension throughout the jump. It really is a different and possibly simpler explanation of the fundamental suspension load / open up movement and its timing I have seen in other jumping videos I have watched over the years. I really wish I could join you in several of your courses.

Best tutorial on jumping i have ever seen. Most people out there start to teach first on how to american bunny hop, which is necessary skill but not easy to achieve in short time. Instead pumping is very easy to learn and applying it's principal to jumping will give faster results and motivation to keep developing as a MTB rider. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes!

Such a perfect Teacher and Student combo..gotta try this tomorrow for first time,,crossing finger,, 🤘

You are an amazing teacher! congrats!

Right now im learning with videos and so far thats the best explanation how to learn jumping.

I feel like I’m in the boring class at school, but he explains everything so good

Loved the theory and how it was explained - Sine waves and rowing!

Lee, thanks so much for showing this! I love your books and your basic philosophy of “pump starts everything!” Always trying to get better and will use this tomorrow 😁👊🏻👍🏻

Yes! Sensei/Professor Lee reveals some critical mountain bike science.

After watching this it makes me think I could actually jump!!

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you for posting so we can learn! I loved the universal guide to ripping. BRAAAAAAP!

Great video lad. Dani is such a nice girl as well. Respect from Scotland 🤙🏼

Lee, you're the coach I've been looking everywhere for! Too bad I don't live in the States, and can't get an in-person class:( I want to try more of an enduro riding style, and jumps have been the hardest part. This is an awesome video and will definitely try this out!

Awesome video. Made a significant difference to my jumping.

What a great teacher!!!! Thanks dude! it all makes sense now! rowing and being lazy! cant thank you enough!!🤜🤛

The timing is just like swinging on a swing set. The pull on the sing set get longer and longer as you get higher which, to me, is equivalent to a longer and longer row as the rollers are longer. So it seems the acceleration (due to the curve in the terrain) is what you row against just like the curve (arc) of the swing.

She sooo stoked. ^^ Felt like that last weekend - first time Bike Park, first time getting some air. :D Propably not the cleanest of technique but it felt smooth and save, so I guess I did the essentials right... with no small helpf from Lee and Alex videos!

Cant wait to try it out when the weather is a little better. Thx!

Hopefully I can learn how to jump soon. Not too many places near me to practice. I may have to build my own ramp. I will say though, watching a video on how to jump is one thing but getting out there and actually doing it is another. I hope I can apply what I've learned from these videos out on the trails themselves.

Your Videos are way the best for MTB on KZfaq. This Video flipped the switch in my brain, thank you!!!! I ordered the book now and signed up

I'm absolutely going to get a lesson from you at some point.

thanks for the tips i'm trying learn to jump this helped .

I'm so glad I found this channel.

I watched this vid when it first showed up. I didn't get it. Seems totally understandable now after lots of trial & error. A few pump tracks and jump lines. So nice you related the pumping rowing action and keeping head down through the lip. Thanks . Have fun at sunset ,Erie trails. One of my favorites in that area

good job miss dani.thanks sir Lee for this tutorial video...

Lee, awesome video. Thanks! Your pumping description really increased the amount of pump i can now get! I went so much faster I actually crashed on a berm because I'd never gone that fast before. Ha!

hi Lee, just found this awesome video.. love to try it on my next jump.. thank you!

This video is so helpful to learn how to jump. Well explained

Fantastic tips, Lee! I’m going to try to implement them next ride

Row, antirow, Nice, I will try that in spring when snow and ice are gone. I practised judo for more than 35 years, so I m used to strange bodymovement hahaha. Do it many many times and stop thinking and just do it hahaha, hard :-) . God tip, like it :-)

She will have little to no issue since she already has most the base skills from being a pro. Blows my mind that so many xc pros can't jump.

The first bike I ever jumped was an AMF coaster brake bike about 45 years ago. The frame separated on both sides above the rear drop outs. Very exciting!

Dani's super cute with such an infectious smile; it's great to see her do so well... and we learn something as well!

Very good breakdown of how to catch air! 👌

The best teacher in the world

I love your instructional videos!!! If I had the money I would fly you out to N Cali for a class!

I've been learning to jump in the past two years and have gotten better. I even built a wooden tabletop in the yard for practice. Lee's explanation is top notch, and has highlighted some of my own weaknesses in technique. Thanks Lee! ...but I cringed a little when you called Dani, "Dude," just seemed like a funny awkward moment.

I have the exact same issue with my head popping up/back, I was told to 'meerkat' at the top of jumps. Ummm, well apparently that's exactly what's ruining my jumps. Now I can't wait to finish work so I can go nail this technique!

Hehe this was an awesome video! Its so awesome to see someone give instruction at the bike park I goto all the time!

Big fan of the videos. Learning to pump and jump, and these videos are great.

Great Video, love that SB130 in that color too!

I was in a xc race last week and the course had an extended wave section close together maybe created by Motos it had a small negative grade and I watched people pull away from me substantially without pedaling while I pedaled and fed stuck in quick sand your tutorial told me what my problem was . The other riders must have been pumping the waves and I was not . Your teachings apply to much more bike disciplines.

Luckily I do 10 toe touches every morning when I get up, so the hinge is a straightforward position. But it still took me awhile to master the row on the ground, so now I'm going to start doing a set of those every morning instead. I'm catching air on the ground, can't wait to try it on my bike! (Everything's frozen right now...) P.s., I had watched the hinge video before on JOB but this one really had it sink in. Thanks!!!

Hi from Scotland. Really enjoyed that video. Great tuition. 👍

Awesome instruction...I'm sure in person is much better, but I will practice this

Lee you really explain things INCREDIBLY well....I have a bass guitar channel as well as my very modest Mtb one, and I really love the clarity of your pump breakdown st start...

Sooo helpful. TY, Lee!

I love her eyebrows!

This video helped me so much! Massive thanks!

Super coachable athlete ! And super fun !

row row row your bike, gently down the trail down the trail .lol Great tutorial, thank you !!💪

Nice! Slow motions are use educationally.

Great video! Gonna go try this now.

I watched this vid then went out tonight and tried the rowing thing. DANG! It is like cheating! I would do a 4 or 5 rows, then have to back of to slow down. Feels totally different to do it when jumping too. Still got more work to do on that front. Thanks Lee.

great job dani

Great video - loved her energy 👏👏

great lesson- anyone that digs this should buy "mastering mtn bike skills" book by Lee and Brian Lopes- so good!

Brilliant video, very helpful.

7:50 come back to this anytime I get bucked

your hinge really inspires me. thank you

I am learning in a fantastic way with this video...!! Lot of tips, tech, and excelente energy... I am wondering, how is it after 3 years?

I laughed at "stay lazy" but yes being loose and relaxed was the key for me. It's almost like I stopped trying so hard and it just clicked. You can see people that "dead sailor" in videos and they're always frozen in mid air.

Can't wait to try this as I've really hit a plateau and don't seem to be getting any better, one question tho all other tutorial videos talk about loading and unloading the suspension to help with the pop, but there's no mention of it here, why is that? Many thanks Lee

Great tutorial, thanks Lee. Still wrapping my head around the row/anti row concept, but it clearly is very effective.
