Forced myself to really try to get air (even microscopic) off of the jumps on 100 Proof at Veteran's Park today. I finally "stood up to the jump" (as recommended by Loam Ranger: youtu.be/s9w2zSvuaGM?si=RRtvfNVVek7Bxgc8), which definitely got me air on both wheels without much effort.

By the end of the 45 minute session I was getting repeatable results, though very very low altitude. The important thing is I was mostly over my intimidation around even the smaller jumps, which is a great feeling!

To me, the important thing is to gain confidence, consistency, and technique and then work on height and distance.
