I’ve been trying to get better at technical riding at Deer Valley this year and I’ve jumped over my bars too many times

Also, make sure your body is loose enough to absorb bouncing and bumping by the bike under you. Your body should stay relatively quiet while the bike gets bumped around.

Thanks I rode Devo at Deer Valley which is a black diamond technical run and I was able to do it better. And thanks for the good advice everyone I’m already feeling more confidentIf you're going over the handlebars on downhills then get your ass back and low. Dropping your seat is really helpful if you have a dropper. Make sure you have enough momentum to carry you over the rocky stuff. Take a skills class. I agree with looking ahead. Session tough sections so you can learn to spot your line then use it as you continue to look ahead to be ready for the next thing.

And if you don't have a dropper, get one. I can't imagine riding without one.If you're going over the handlebars on downhills then get your ass back and low.

Practice on easier stuff where you won't break your neck. Check geometry and lower the seat. Sort of odd that we take bike riding skills for granted. I bet I would benefit from some lessons.
