HOW TO SCRUB Stage 3: Don’t power up the take-off like you normally would do on a jump – let off the gas on the face of the jump, and start leaning yourself and the bike over a bit. Stage 6: Transfer your body weight back over the front of the bike and make sure everything is nice and straight for the landing. If you’re still a bit sideways when you land give it some gas – that usually works! Stage 5: As soon as you’ve done this, start turning the bars back around and start straightening up your body. Stage 4: Just as you take off keep leaning over and turn the bars hard to full-lock to help turn the bike down in the air. I find a little dab on the back brake can often be helpful at this point too. Stage 7: Keep looking up, get on the gas and ride away fast and smooth towards the next jump!
