Nice man looks like you are having a blast. One thing I would recommend working on is pre-loading before you start to hit the ramp. Apply pressure downward as you are approaching the jump. That will help you come off the jump more controlled and be more controlled in the air. Both of you guys weren’t pre-loading which is why right when you both come off the jump your bikes pop upward towards your bodies. What you are doing there is more of a scrub/speed technique. Just my two cents. Glad you guys are having fun and getting better. Ps. How do you like that jump? Which one is it? Quick set up once you’re on-site? I’ve been looking into getting one.

Firstly congratulations Mike and a massive well done. That’s what everyone dreams of! (Certainly I do). You’ve got a very understanding and supportive wife by the looks of it. Now, I’m no trail builder, making a few good trails straight down into the gully would be sick, but it would be over real quick. You could Zig zag the whole way down to the gully from fence line to fence line adding jumps, rollers, and 180°berms. Timber bridges and drops would sick to pick up speed. A climb trail up the perimeter back to the house. You could have trails starting at every corner. The possibility is endless. Looking forward to see the progress. Cheers 👊🏼

@@MTBKingLife how are you planning to build out your trails? are you going to just use hand tools or bring out a mini digger excavator?
