How to Perfect Your Mountain Bike Drops: Tips and Techniques
To do mountain bike drops, start by finding a good drop and checking it out beforehand, making sure to study the trajectory and the landing. As you approach the drop, stand up and shift your weight slightly back to give your front wheel room to move. As your front wheel rolls over the edge, compress in your arms and legs to absorb the impact of the landing. Keep your eyes on the landing and your weight back until you touch down. Practice on smaller drops first, and remember to always wear proper safety gear.
