    I don’t know enough about bike jumps but is it safe jumping with that bike? I think if I did that with mine I’ll just end up with additional angles to my “triangle”.

      Perfectly safe. He wears a helmet. And his ike has reflectors front, back and on the wheels, so it all complies with safely standards.

      That’s not an unusual outcome for old or cheap bikes if you over-send. Sam Pilgrim occasionally does this on YouTube if you want to see additional triangles.

      As for this case, it may be a better made frame rather than a cheap one. This rider has some confidence in it at least. May be a tougher steel or better aluminium grade.

      It all depends on the landing. If he’s coming down onto a sloped ramp then it’s fine. But if it’s a hard landing to flat then both bike and rider are at risk of having a bad day.
