"MOUNTAIN BIKE DROPS WITH LIPS" was inspired by subscribers who wanted tips on the dreaded drop with a lip. A common style of drop it is important to realize that it has more in common with a jump than a drop.

I'm joined by again by the man who literally wrote the book on mountain biking, Lee from Lee Likes Bikes.

This video is a follow up to our earlier video on the unified theory of mountain bike drops, "MOUNTAIN BIKE DROPS FOR BEGINNERS. DON'T MANUAL OFF DROPS!" and our second drops video "OVER 40 MOUNTAIN BIKE TIPS: DROP PHYSICS" We recommend that you watch both and have mastery of both these drop techniques as well as comfort with small jumps. Our beginner jump "HOW TO JUMP A MOUNTAIN BIKE" is a good place to start.

There is nothing that changes about the physics of riding a bike if you're over 40 or any age for that matter. But we find that riders over 40 tend to be more careful and thoughtful about their riding. And a more analytical approach to the how and why of mountain biking builds confidence when crashing is NOT an option.

If you're younger but appreciate the approach we are glad to have you on the journey with us.

After you've mastered both of the former drop methods from our other drop videos. This video gives a mountain biker the methodology, awareness, and skills to ride your mountain bike off more complicated take offs like the drop with a lip, kicker, etc.

Hitting a drop with a lip on your mountain bike will become second nature with just a little bit of practice.
