Landing a jump

Connorscotland

Hi Lads,

Been biking for about 7 months now ( iM 29 and just getting back into it) I have a Giant Stance 27.5 2015 full sus.

Theres some jumps at the local trails which i have been meaning to hit but just havent.

Here is the jump (not my pic) its got a drop but nothing major about 2.5foot. I'm going back tonight to tackle it.

What is the best way to attack it, i have no problem with other jumps but these are nipping my head

Try not to fall off.

All I see is some ground and some darker stuff.

Terrible pic.

It's ok, I'm just back, nailed it first time but its back to back jumps, slid off the 2nd, did it a few times tonight.

Going back tomorrow and will have the go pro.

Weight back, cranks level, eyes up (don't look at the lip), small manual off the drop if there's no kicker and stay relaxed and low.
Jumps are all about fun. Once you are good on small jumps big ones take the same technique. Whether it's a 40' road gap or a drop off a kerb you ride it the same (just much, much faster).
