As you start to clear jumps on your mountain bike, when do you add in 'style' moves like whips and bar-turns?  We know moving the bike in the air looks awesome, but does it also add stability and flow to the jump?  

Ride along with us today as we discuss braking bumps, where they come from and our plea to avoid making more.  Tips to recapture motivation to train after a big MTB trip or race is over.  Do e-bikes change trail etiquette? Is it easier to get into a flow state on flow trails or a flow state on tech trails?  Details on how to plan a mountain bike trip, how to use Trailforks to make a route and Penny-farthing bike jumps!  What's up with that!?
