Never been a jumper and particularly not doubles.

I love jumping, haven't been in quite a while.
@Da Peach how big is that gap there?

 

[mykel]

That's the kind of stuff that I know I can do, but scares me shitless.

Agree.
I no longer bounce, just kinda go splat and break things, so things like this are no longer on the menu.

Cool Bike.

I OBEY the law of gravity!

Mostly because I Never learned to jump. Well, tbh, I never learned to land. I can jump fine, its the landing part that wrecks me...

Can you ride a wheelie? Or play guitar?

Hats off to you…. Gaps are a brain fark for me.
I had my day, such as it was. It has passed.

Glad I’m not the only one not loving jumping gaps. I have been practicing on a smaller double but I can roll them if I need to which happens as approach has loose pebbles. I didn’t even dare that not long ago so it has been good mental practice and good practice to improve my jumping.

The short pedal to the fun part

More riding today in between rain (finally)

This is the jump I’m working on. I have not hit the transition smoothly yet. The berm behind gives plenty speed but loose at the berm exit:

From below looking up

It’s easy to end up landing too much to the right the way the take off is setup.

Seems the take off should be the same angle as the landing.

it’s a really good trail with some fun DH sections.

Can you ride a wheelie? Or play guitar?

1. No, not for long.

2. Define "play guitar."

[Da Peach]

This area lead into some spicy terrain that I opted out of.

My pride will survive.

Play train kept rolling by Aerosmith? Ride a wheelie to the end of the block on the empty straight level street. On your own bike.

 

[rideit]

What if I can wheelie a guitar?

Not a big fan of this trail segment, its 19 miles one way and just too damn straight and not enough vert for the distance...so on the "downhill" back you end up pedaling your ass off, save for a few actually-fun sections.

Last Friday with brothers-in-law.

 

[MonkeyGut]

Something in the 'air' yesterday? Damn, just below the pad. It was cold and I opted for knickers; I was kicking around the idea of shorts and knee pads for the descent. Kinda feel like a dummy. I wasn't in the air, just a slow speed front wheel washout.

Heal up, knee crushers.

It's pretty much all I can do these days. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
