Cyclist Relearns Bike Jumping Technique After 30 Years

Original: Science Says I’ve Been Jumping My Bike Wrong For 30 Years

A longtime mountain biker has re-examined how he jumps his bike, drawing on physics and biomechanics to show the technique he used for three decades was wrong. The piece walks through what the science says about takeoff timing, body position and pump, and how to relearn the skill. Riders are discussing how much of conventional jump technique is habit rather than physics.

Why now: The claim that even experienced riders may have been jumping incorrectly challenges common cycling technique, prompting debate among riders.
