gapping

[trialsiain]

hey can anyone give me any pointers of what to do better when i gap ? when i try and preload more i just go slow (hard to explain) heres a video

try to fall more into it in forward direction,keeping the whole thing lower,with a bit more pedal kick.

seems like your going too steep upwards.

hope it makes sense

Try to pull bars to your waist before you land, easy way to gain some lenght and you won´t land like a sack of potatoes too Other than that, your technique isn´t bad, just more power is needed.

yea that was the thing i forgot to ask .. how to do softer landings Thanks i will try do that next time

To get softer landing, extend your legs before you land then soak up the landing by bending your legs. You will gap further too.

Try going more sideways it will feel weird to start with but you will find it far easier
