How to Master Jumps on Your Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To do jumps on a mountain bike, start by approaching the jump at a moderate to high speed and standing up on your pedals. As you approach the jump, bend your knees and use your arms to lift your front wheel up, then quickly extend your legs to launch your bike off the jump. While in the air, keep your weight centered over the bike and use your arms and legs to adjust your balance. Land smoothly on both wheels and bend your knees to absorb the impact. Practice on smaller jumps before moving on to larger ones.
