I'm ready to get better at jumping so I headed over to the High Bridge flow trails in High Bridge, New Jersey to set a baseline on where I am at. Hopefully over time I'll be able to look back at this and see how far I have progressed.
I didn't check my tires when I first arrived, and felt the back tire come down hard, with that feeling like I was was only landing on the rim. Went back to the car and turns out I only had 20psi in the tires. Filled them up to 30psi and had a great rest of the day.
I find it funny how sometimes you feel like you are flying like superman through the air, then you check video footage and it looks like you are only 2 inches in the air for about 1 second.
Also, I really enjoyed my new Maxxis Rekon and Maxxon Minion DHR II tire setup. Super grippy versus my Bontrager XR2 setup. Adding to the improvements, my new PNW Range Handlebars (KW edition), PNW Range Stem Gen 3, and PNW Loam Grips, all purchased from @worldwidecyclery, really felt nice. I felt more comfortable in climbs and actually had the front tire come off the ground less while doing those climbs. The wider handles helped me to control the bike better around the turns. Overall, I am super happy with where my bike is right now. Looking to do a single video where I chat about all the upgrades I have done in the future with my thoughts on each one.

If you watch the video I think you will be able to see as I did more runs, I got faster each time. As for the High Bridge Flow Trails, they are a great place to work on your skills. I actually think next time I am going to focus more on the blue trail as I really liked the jumps on that trails better.
