How to Master the Art of Jumping on a Mountain Bike
To do a jump on a mountain bike, approach the jump with speed, stand up off the saddle, and push down on the pedals as you hit the jump. As you leave the ground, lift the front wheel with a slight pull on the handlebars. Then tuck your knees up towards your chest to bring the bike up. As you come down, extend your legs to absorb the landing and roll away smoothly. Practice on smaller jumps before attempting larger ones and always wear a helmet and other protective gear.
