How To Whip With Kyle Jameson - Video

 pinkbike should just auto-comment that every time kyle j shows up

 love that vid, first mtb video i ever saw!

 What's awesome is in that same segment Norbs calls HIMSELF 'Norby' straight out of PG. Then a few years later the commentator for Rampage calls him that and people lost their minds!

 Top 2 Best MTB segments ever for me.

 @adrennan: Every time I see him on PB I am on it!

 @whitebullit: same!

 Does she have a sister?

 LOL! I was thinking that... I had mine just as long last year and went corporate (cut). Now I look like the spawn of Fuhrer. Ugh.

 @microfiz: Why did you dye your hair orange?

 A bit like mine when it is not dry yet. When it is dry, it is like an explosion . It is funny because my girlfriend doesn't like it flat. When we're going somewhere and it is still wet from the shower, she wants me to go headbanging to loosen it up. She doesn't always like the tunes that go with that though .

 lots of people think it's all about turning the bars, but the real meat and potatoes here is carving up the lip and hitting it at a slight angle (he explains in the video...hard to put into words).

If you watch anyone throw fat whips on decent sized jumps, they will always set-up for the whip as they approach the lip...that's the secret.

Easier said than done as with anything, but I hitting a lip straight on and turning your bars will never result in a good looking whip and will require more input from your body to make it happen. Sometimes you have to throw the bike around like this on smaller/natural lips throughout a trail, but on proper jumps that much body movement is dangerous...should be fluid and that's where the setup comes in

 @nvranka: on a bike that's too big and heavy yes, but you're not less likely to bring it straight by carving the lip, you'll just redirect your travel, especially for a beginner.

For a pro, he didn't give much useful info about person vs bike movement?

I'd always recommend dropping your hips in and keeping your knees closer together as a pivot point. The reason you naturally turn the bars (can go either way) is to give the leverage to dip the front end back in.

There is a lot more to it & various types of whip too, think he really could / should have done a better more in depth job!!!!

 @cunning-linguist: no doubt

 @cunning-linguist: I'd also add, once you're comfy doing smaller whips, bring you body forward over the TT, makes it way easier to get it out and back in again with less weight over the rear of the bike.
Look at Semenuk, Rheeder, Soderstrom ect, when they are hitting 90, they get so forward they are basically stem shagging.

 I really like this explanation, and will borrow it in the future when trying to help my friends have some more steeze than the usual dead sailoring...

 Almost sounds like a Scandi flick but in the air! As if you were approaching a turn around a tree at speed,you throw it one way and pull it back to straighten up and get around.

 That awkward moment when a random comment on an instructional video is a better explanation of what's going on than the actual video itself. Cheers.

 if you spell it "stuntz", then you don't have to clarify that you aren't a pro haha

 @adrennan: please! No grammar Nazi's on pinkbike.. Some of us deliberately spell shit wrong just for style pointZ!

 @bohns1: and you add extra steeze by spelling it whipZ aswel.

 @Jamesgoulding: Shimano invented Zee sfor yoo guayZ... oy vhoopsie

 Best comment for ages!!!!

 @cunning-linguist: mmmmhhhmmmm

 Actually I do think you don't really need to. First start carving turns over a small bump, so make sure you angle the bike more than your body. As you increase speed, you find that your bike wants to get off the ground. Allow the rear to go wherever it wants to but push the front wheel down onto the ground. This obviously means you need to keep steering the front wheel in the right direction (so you can't yet have the front wheel going sideways too or you'll probably just flip over) but you'll definitely find the rear end kicking out. Start small. Then later on you'll find your front wheel getting airborn too. But take small steps first.

 on point

 Thomas Vanderham is doing his tutorial on the Ryan Leech program (ryanleech.com). It is in the advanced part of the jump with confidence course.

 That guy is the real life Tweak from South Park.

 Seriously! Was very surprised this wasn't mentioned...Carve up the lip and push those hips out, your bike will be sideways faster than you'll imagine.

 This!
