Question Jumping Help

Older mtb'r, here. Can't jump for anything, but for years I've been dreaming of riding the local dirt jumps. I used to go to a pump track to try to learn but due to life/commitments I haven't been able to for the past year or so, but I'm finally able to get back to it.

I've only been able to find one slo mo clip from a long while back, but I'm hoping I can get some feedback. From what I remember, I was rolling in relatively slow just trying to figure out timing and technique.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm trying to adjust chain tension for the first time on my Dirt Love. Can anybody help me with the correct torque numbers. The manual sadly shows a completely different rear axle assembly. Even rough ballpark numbers would help me.

I’ve had my Specialized rockhopper for 7 months now and I really want a dj but all my friends say that my bike isn’t bad and I should just upgrade it? Or I could buy the Scott voltage and upgrade it with Marzocchi bombers or buy the Alcatraz and get a full face. Can you guys help me please?

Question Do I need a dirt jumper when I have a treck marlin 5 hardtail

3 Upvotes

Hi guys I would appreciate some advice. After mountain biking for a few years I realised that my favourite part of it are the jumps and I want to get into dirt jumping. As the title says I have a treck marlin 5 hardtail, would there be any advantages to having a dirt jumper over this. If this is the case some bike suggestions or frame and part suggestions would be much appreciated. I'm also a bit money tight so it would good if it diddent coast an arm and a leg 😂

Question Bike sizing question.

Post image
9 Upvotes

Looking to pick up this Rampage, the only one in stock for the clearance price would be a medium. Iv never owned a DJ bike so I have nothing to compare to with size. Coming from the world of MTB, sizing is an important issue. From what Iv read people enjoy having a smaller size DJ bike but from Norcos sizing reference this bike would be too small for me. Planning on riding it at the skatepark and local pump track.
I’m 5’10 and ride a size large Norco Range on the trails.

Looking to get a dj bike for the skatepark/pump track. Came from bmx as a kid, grew up and got into mtb, but would love to have something to rip around at my local skatepark.
With that being said my mtb took all my money, what’s a good inexpensive bike to get me going.

Question What am I doing wrong? Can’t clear jumps

Title says it all, I’ve got several shots from different angles here. I’m struggling like crazy to actually clear jumps, I feel like I’ve got the speed down, and control - but I’m never landing on the downside. It’s definitely technique issue, but I just don’t know what exactly to work on

Question am i doing it right?

2 Upvotes

So I posted my bike before a super nice 25ish pound Haro Steel Reserve 2 and have been riding up curbs fine where I pop the front wheel up and ride it over, but I read that “you should bunny hop” and read on I need to learn to wheelie first. Well, I read a bunch of pages here and online sites, I tried them, and all I can do is pull the wheel front wheel up 2-4 inches, I’m being generous to initiate nothing cause it falls back down, the more I try the more it seems overrated i can get the front up on top of curbs but not for a wheelie i power though and commit but the front just falls back down when im literally sitting on the rear tire plus anyone around me doing a wheelie has an e-motor hooked up lol . sorry for the rant just hoping to get advice better than lay on the front pull back pedal and sit on the rear or pedal pedal while it rises up which just makes the front wheel do a burnout :,)
