Boo!
On my last couple of rides I have been gaining more and more confidence. I'm at the point where I
feel like I want to start doing jumps. More precisely riding off ledges of let's say 2-3 feet where
I would usually just let my front tire slowly drop in and then follow my bike over.
Up to now I had it in my head that if I were to "jump" off these things (especially imagining a 30'
drop which I will never in my lifetime attempt) I would just do a nose dive straight into the ground
and "die".
So...is this/what is the right technique?
Do you imagine yourself doing a wheelie/bunny hop over the edge?
Do you just get your weight back? Pull up on the handlebars and get your weight back?
Do a clipless cheater bunny hop?
What kind of speed do you need?
Thanks!,
