The biggest issue I see with a jump like this is riders carrying too much speed into the take off. One of the main things to think about in a situation like this is dealing with the energy created on the takeoff. The beauty of this particular setting is that you can literally roll right off the top of the jump and land to flat. It provides the perfect opportunity to SLOWLY bring in more speed with each run and get comfortable with the energy that is being created and allows you to work the timing of your body opening up as you go up the take off.
Manny does a great job working through that process here. He slowly brings more speed on each attempt and generates more lift each time. NOW, pay attention to his arms in each slow motion clip: His elbows are very bent and his torso is very straight up and down. The next step for Manny would be to slowly move is torso back (more in line with the bike as it's pointed up the takeoff) and this would help get his arms a bit straighter. You can clearly see the front wheel dropping away from him and it comes off the takeoff. Having his torso back and arms straighter would alleviate some of this.
We talked about it and the end of the video and for a bit longer after we wrapped. He wasn't even aware of how badly it was happening until he saw this video.
What do you do now that you've watched this? Well, you find a spot to practice. If you don't have something like this, find something as close to it as you can. The basic technique can be practiced on a simple tabletop and carried over to a step up like this. Once you're comfortable dealing with the energy of the tabletop, it's just a matter of slowly increasing your speed in a step up situation and getting comfortable with the energy.
I hope this sheds some light on hitting a feature like this. Please drop me any questions or feedback below. Share the page as much as you can and lets keep growing so we can do even more How Tos and Bike Reviews.
