 @withdignityifnotalacrity: Again...

 Heh I said that because I asked then to hit it one more time to film it. They had been clearing it all morning and the wind had come up.. I jinxed em lol

 I'd really like that audio added to the end of the intro

 Next week they'll reveal the new Session again.

 It's because of Friday Fails that I will not buy a used bike from the Buy/Sell section

 Me too!! FF 100% of the time. That was absolutely horrifying.

 its gotta be the rebound! def not my technique

 If you're hitting a lip, it usually happens because you haven't pre-loaded your suspension. The examples you cited are people who are basically riding fast in to a jump in a neutral position, with no weight transfer.

You should be pushing down in to the bike/suspension as you're transiting across the lip. You kind of want to feel like you're pushing down and scooping with pedals and pulling with the bars. When people say 'just pull up', they're basically saying you should be helping the bike follow the shape of the jump.

 yup, generally being too far back on your bike. You'll see it a lot on steep faced jumps with people feeling intimidated so they back off a bit which then makes the problem worse.

I'd guess suspension settings are less frequently the issue

Here's a good video that explains how to take on steep faced jumps (the whole video series is really good)

 @Icehawk: Funny, exactly that video is what made me realize the possible cause.
Was just curious if there was any additional explanation or more input.

 if you can find a proper pumptrack go ride it alot. really helped me with getting the feel for the timings and pumping the lips of the jumps. or just find smaller less consequence jumps/tables and session them. alot.. like hundreds times alot then some more.

 @jayacheess: for sure. the technique you describe is a bunnyhop. anytime someone asks me how to jump better, i always recommend bunnyhopping a lot. i was thinking it was more about feeling comfortable with your bike in the air and landing in various ways, and while that is a benefit you gain, you got me thinking it's more about gaining the muscle memory for the approach and take off. focusing on, and repeating, the first part of the bunnyhop. Applying that to various jump faces at various speeds after you've gotten it down on flat (jibbing around town and on the fire roads) is the crux. cuz if you're gonna land bigger and bigger jumps, you'll only be whole and successful if you've taken off correctly over and over and over again (with some lessons in the form of crashes mixed in). no substitute for repetition.

 thanks for the link !

 incredible hang time!

 @phil-e-b: At least he's well hydrated.

 Makes me think of all the fools out riding with masks and no helmets... Virus - no way Tramatic head injury - I'll roll the dice.

 Who goes riding in just a pair of boxers.......oh the guy @2.12....cheeky gravel rash

 @Philt32: same guy that rides his gsx-r in a tank top and flip flops.

 Har, har; great reference! : )
