- 1Science Says Mountain Bikers Have Been Jumping Wrong For Decades●Science Says I’ve Been Jumping My Bike Wrong For 30 Years
Cycling creator Berm Peak teamed up with the 50x50: Science Across America project to examine bike jumping technique, and the physics say his 30-year-old method has been wrong. The finding, that riders' long-held body positioning on jumps is inefficient or incorrect, has struck a chord with the mountain biking community, drawing huge attention as riders debate what the science means for how they ride.

A mountain biker applied physics principles to increase the height of his bike jumps, experimenting with technique and equipment on trail features. The approach blends practical riding with scientific testing, drawing a large audience interested in how biomechanics and physics can improve everyday sports performance. Viewers are discussing the results and whether similar methods could work for their own riding.
