BOYD wall ride
Sage was closed this morning so no party laps to be had, so I decided to work on BOYD. I can do everything except the wall ride and cannon, I’ve done the log. Decided to go for it today and was on/off the lilly pad just fine but took the jump at too perpendicular (too the wall) of an approach, tires connected with the wall at way too parallel of an angle (in relation to the wall boards) and caused me to just slide down the wall due to lack of traction (not fun). I feel like you have to approach the wall with way less of an angle, basically taking off the jump more in the middle or even towards the right a little bit, and then while in the air cranking the bar to the right and lean the bike to the left to change your bike angle in the air, so that when you land you are perpendicular to the wall. I knew it’s not a curved wall ride so you’re basically just landing and immediately riding down, but it didn’t work out today. Curious others’ thoughts who have completed that stage.

@Levi Weert Hey Levi, Is this the correct place? I plan to work on this more, I just want to make sure I'm in the right spot.

@Levi Weert Hey Levi, Quick question. The small blue marker is my landing target for my front wheel. Do you think it is too far from the lip of the jump? A while back you sent me a link to a Hip Jump YouTube video. In the video the guys turn their front wheel toward the hip in the air. That causes their shoulders to rotate. This jump is much smaller, but I should still be using that same technique, correct. Thanks again for all your help!

Sage Fright ✅
So stoked right now. Finally cleared all of Sage Fright tonight with Alden Miller. Totally OJ’d the last jump but kept the tires down. Amazing feeling. Riding Bogus tomorrow at like noon with Alden if anyone wants to link up.

Better body position on steep face jumps
I have been working on this jump for a little while and I finally decided to get the tripod out and get some video of it. It looks like my hips shoot back a little as my bike leaves the lip. I think this causes my legs to absorb the jump and I don’t get as high as I would like to. I usually have a small case on the jump after this one. That case prevents me from finishing the trail. Does anyone have any mental cues “something I can say to myself as I hit the takeoff” that can help combat this issue? Is there another problem with my form? Cheers.

Update I am making some progress with the “crouch and pop” technique. I have spent about 5 sessions working on it. This technique is helping me to have better body position as my bike leaves the jump. (less hip angle, straighter legs) The first pic is the session that I started, and the second pic is the most recent. Hopefully I will be able to use this technique on the bigger jumps soon.

Update I am still making some progress with the “crouch and pop” technique. So far, I have spent about 14 sessions working on it. Right now, it is much more difficult to implement this technique on the more challenging jumps. I am anxious for it to become part of my muscle memory, so I won’t have to think about it so much. During the practice sessions I have been exaggerating the technique on the smaller jumps and then trying to do a micro version of the technique on the bigger jumps. The good news is that even the micro version of this technique gets me noticeably more airtime. I also bring notes to the sessions. They help me stay focused on what I am supposed to be working on. I think the notes and videos have helped me progress faster. I added a clip from my last session and a pic from my first video vs my most recent video. I still have more work to do but it is good to see my body position getting taller and straighter on the lip.

Cornering
Cornering I finally got some video of a couple corners. The clip with the berm is the Soldiers trail and the clip without the berm is the GOAT trail. For these clips I tried to think about “elbows out”, and “lean the bike”. I also used a marker to indicate where to finish braking. I am not sure what to start working on first.

Hey Levi, Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. I’m excited to get to work on this.
