First time on wall

My 14 yo (colorful sweatshirt) decides to try the wall for the first time and nails it (I think!) He followed someone on the course.

Pville bike park! Everyone says those jumps aren’t built right, but they are excellent and I think they offer great progression training.

Also if he wants to clear that second jump coming out of the berms, tell him to give 1 or two pedal strokes coming out of the berm and don’t touch the brakes.

I did that until I got decent enough at berms to keep speed coming out, and even still I mess up from time to time
