Hey everyone and welcome to another tip Tuesday where in this video we're going to be teaching you how to jump a spine ramp
So a little bit differently than most of my other tip Tuesday videos this video is mostly meant for beginners and
Whenever it comes to skatepark riding
Usually you'll have a prefab skatepark similar to this one nearby and they usually have a spine
Similar to this one as well that's about three foot tall very mellow
And if it's your first time riding a skatepark it can be very intimidating
To try and run up and jump for the very first time, but if you are a beginner
There's good news for you in the fact that this is honestly one of the easiest
Scary things that you can do when you're first starting out in riding BMX and to be completely honest
This is one thing that I've helped countless
People do here on this very spine and the one thing that I tell these people is that?
You just got to do it and then after the first time that you do it
You're going to be like wow I was scared of that
Okay, this just in we're gonna pause this video because someone that I don't know showed up, and I want to ride with them
Okay, we're back and now we can get into actually talking about how to jump a spine and to do that
We've got the new guy and somebody else to help explain things
We're gonna come in right now. We got Cody over here got Matt. Come on in a little bit more can't see you
Okay, so when it comes to jumping a spine. I want your opinion first
What would you say the first step to jumping a spine is?
You can jump something else first so like jumping on to the top of the box yeah
And that works here too because the box lip is actually the same
Transition as the spine so jumping onto the top of the box
Means that you're gonna basically be doing the same thing so you can prepare for what it's gonna feel like
And then what was your other point?
So dropping in basically just be able to roll straight down the ramp. What's your first step to jumping the spine?
I would have to say to commit and to get your front tire over
Alright, so let's get some examples of that okay
So Matt said that his first step would be jumping up onto something perfect example this box slip right here, so let's see it
This is your first step to jumping the spine
Be able to jump up land and then second step was
To drop in which you can do from right here, so let's see a drop in
Would you say you have to be able to hop into it like that or could you just roll in
You can roll in but twenty five to spray it, so it doesn't catch the coping yes and keep your pedals flat
All right, so just roll into it once
straight
Perfect your first step was to it and get your front tire over the peak of it all right
Let's see that it's kind of hard to show commitment
So yeah, we'll just see getting the front tire over
Okay, that's it and that's that's all you gotta make it so pretty much you go at a moderate speed
Not fast could actually sit up here, and then once you're comfortable
So everything you guys just did leads me to my first step, which I would say to literally just roll over it Cody
You're really good at rolling over the spine
I want to see you roll over it straight, and then roll over it like you do it
All right, let's see it
So when you rolled over that your sprocket hit it
And that's not necessarily what you want while you can do that and it is safe
It can hurt your bike a little bit, so you want to go a little bit faster?
And literally just ride over it and the main concern that you have is keeping the front end down
So you don't loop out
exactly
So it's basically extremely simple to jump a spine and you just go at it with enough speed to go over it after you're comfortable
Jumping out of a box like this one and then dropping into a ramp
You're good to go over it and jump it you want to show us that
Just like that that's exactly what's gonna happen Cody came up caught a little bit of air
Enough to not case here, and then you went down the other side
flex you flex the whole time flexing
Hmm so by this point should be comfortable enough to just go over the spine catch air
Enough to make it over it
Land comfortably now once you get to that point jump it more and the more you jump it the higher you can go
The more Steve's out you can gets teased for all you new guys means style
With ease you guys want to give a couple examples of what it might look like after your ten thousandth time jumping a spine yes
All right, let's see it Cody and Matt are gonna. Give us some examples here of
What it can look like after you've jumped spines a lot
Yeah
There you go all right, so that's what you can expect
After jumping spines a lot okay, so that's gonna do it on this video for how to jump a spine
It's pretty simple
you just need to make sure that you're confident enough and that you're used to jumping onto the top of something like this box and
You pretty much just go at it with enough speed to ride over it try and keep your nose down as much as possible
And with that being said that's gonna be the end of this video. I make videos like this every Tuesday. We're gonna end it on
Some clips like that of just jumping the spine with some style. I want to thank you for watching
I try and come out with videos just like this one every Tuesday every time
I have a tip to talk about with other types of riding videos throughout the week in a BMX news video on
Fridays thanks again for watching and we'll see you next time goodbye
Uh-oh your parser Packard's, that's funny
