The body mechanics we all need for jumping are the same mechanics required for perfect pumping. So on a pump track you can learn to jump jump your mountain bike by pumping. Essentially learning to jump without leaving the ground. Making those first jumps safer. It's the perfect way to rewire your brain so that you naturally have the correct form as you start jumping. I head to #BigWaveDavePumptrack in Broomfield, Colorado to meet MTB coach Lee McCormack who explains it all.
