Jumping on a mountain bike is a super fun thing to do and it can be very important if you race on downhill tracks or cross country tracks. It is very helpful because if you don’t jump then you might have to slow down on the track. You have to walk around the jump because you are too scared to jump it.
You also need to know how to jump because if you don’t jump then you might lose a lot of speed and if you are racing then that would suck for you to lose most of your speed. Jumping is also something that you can almost do anywhere for example if there is a curb you can launch off of the curb. You can also jump without anything to help you jump you can just do a bunny hop, it might take you some time to learn how to bunny hop but you can get the hang of it and you will be able to do it no problem and maybe once you get good at jumping you can learn how to do some tricks like no handers, no footers, and backflips and similar tricks.
Jumping is important for downhill biking because when you are jumping you lose less speed. After all, if there is a rocky spot on the trail and you have no choice but to go on it you can just jump over it and you won’t even have to lose any speed if anything you will be gaining speed. Another time that you might want to jump is when there is a drop because if you don’t jump then you will nose dive and you could get very hurt and might even have to stop biking for a while.
Biking is a very technical sport so there will be many times where you have to jump or else you might crash or slow down and you don’t want either of those to happen. You also want to jump because some things could break your bike if you don’t jump like if there is a big rock and there isn’t any way around it you will have to jump over it or use it as a jump depending on the shape. It might be scary to jump though, so that is why you need to get used to your bike, or else something could go wrong while you jump and you could crash.
You also could jump around a lot because if you jump it makes riding a bike a lot more fun to ride. You also can get more respect from some of the other bikers and let me tell you it feels super good to get more respect from some of the other bikers. It feels really good to get the respect because when you get the respect you feel a lot more of a better bike than you thought you were before and you probably are. You also should jump around because when you jump around you get used to hitting small things on your bike and then later you will be able to get used to jumping on a bigger jump and it will be a whole lot easier and more fun. Just jumping around is also very good because when you jump around you have a whole lot more fun than if you were to just ride without jumping.
In conclusion, jumping is a great thing to do and it is also one of the most fun things to do on trails, around your neighborhood, and anywhere.
