Enter the Turn

Entering a corner at speed: Looking through, getting low, shifting to the outside foot, and starting to lean the bike.

While this rock is rollable, Mr. Lopes has decided to generate extra pop and land somewhere special.

Pump-Manual Hop

1. Absorb the first roller. Let the front wheel float.

2. Pump-manual violently with extra upper-body pull.

3. Fly to a sweet landing.

Lay Your Bike Flat

Uncork this baby next time you jump through a turn with way too much speed.

1. Lean and turn across the face of the jump.

2. Turn your front wheel down.

3. Push your bike down.

4. Straighten your bars for landing.

5. Land front wheel first. Nice.
