Happy Birthday ..
That's not old!!!! I ride with geriatrics between the ages of 65-84. We no longer 'do' jumps or Grade 4 tracks up. The penalty for failure is too high. Last 'off' was on a grade 3 and 4 track. Small rocks and tree roots everywhere and at all angles, some wet parts. Speed and body position is crucial. Too slow/too fast and you are in deep doo-doo's. Life is too short to spend time recovering from injuries. Good luck and pick the brains of experienced mtb-ers like you are doing..lot of good tips there @Gary - cheers! yes the run up isnt what it could be, its my lawn that is totally saturated right now so getting speed is hard, there simply isnt anywhere else unless I throw the ramp in the van.. I have a downhill run up I can use but I have to clear it to ride first, which I will do.
yea ok got it with the tips.. I know for sure that almost every time I jumped it, the take off and landing was different and I was trying different times to preload etc but wasnt really happy with any of the landings unless it was 2 wheels at once which was way less harsh than rear wheel.
for tip 2 - so I should be further over the front, in the attack position still ?
so the answer to what I shoudl learn next is.. how to do that jump properly I guess
im 49 mate and alarmingly close to 50
So the older you get the greater the age reversal becomes ..?
65 is a glass ceiling!! Just like Shakespeares 7 ages of man, the reversal begins..........until you become yet a gain a mewling puking child!!So the older you get the greater the age reversal becomes ..?
I'm confused as a nearly 65 year old ..it seems as if I don't qualify ..
50's = 40's
70's= 50's
I'm lost in space .
whoever said that wasnt in possession of a set of knees that were 'just a high number'

Just to say that if I hadnt fucked it up, would have been (according to my gopro) joint 1st place timewhen you try your best to get a strava top 10 but f^&k it up and sit around prepping just INSIDE the timing segment and not just before it - muppet
ill have to try again another time now
I mainly go for KOM’s to avoid future Botox injections.Just to say that if I hadnt fucked it up, would have been (according to my gopro) joint 1st place time
I like to know how I stack up against all the other raving average ridersI don't give a f**k about times...
I ride for me, no one else...
But I used to race... then I was...
