Same, got into MTB like 2016 and heavy into DH a few years later, just in time to watch his juniors and now this ... Get the same feeling watching him as I did Tony Hawk as a kid, or Jordan or Tiger. You know you're witnessing greatness!

I noticed the same thing about how light he was riding (floating) over things. He is still growing but I wonder given the amount of success the young guns are having that years of practice not "muscling" the bike is giving them a different skill set due to weight/size? Despite riding bike parks from 6yo, I kept my boys on hardtails until they were 12 and now when riding with their friends I see how light they ride compared to their mates who ride "through" things. It would be good to gets Jackson's prespective on this. I do worry about kids being "overbiked" and the bike compensating for a skills shortage until it goes bad.

@@robstoeckel353 I rode a walmart mongoose-style bike for like 2 years on downhill until the frame snapped in half (lol) then I bough a 2008 specialized BigHit with a 2012 rockshox boxxer in 2022, and I kind of feel what you're talking about. Ive always ridden full sus bikes, and I feel like I should have bough a very simple hardtail (here in brazil we have many options to ride) and ride it until it snapped in half like the other bike, and THEN buy my specialized. When you ride hardtails, you have a lot of control over the bike, you connect with the bike much better than on a full sus, where it just reads the terrain for you and you command the bike.

PLS COME TO AUSTRALIA AND DO SOME CAMPS OR SOMETHING SO WE CAN MEET THE FUTURE GOAT

Now that season is over, I would definitely say "notice served."

@@JamBam_ Sorry to inform you, but you're the ones backward af 😂

I think it's for hand signals on the road. Driving on the right hand side you can use your left hand for signals and your right hand for rear brakes.
