How to tell if you get air of a small jump?

Question

How can you tell if you get air of a small jump on a bike?

Answer 1

Easiest way, listen for the derailluer to make a noise

(wont work if you have a loose derailluer)

Answer 2

Watch your shadow. You might see it come up.

Answer 3

If you don't know if you got air, the jump isn't big enough.

Answer 4

The best way is to ask a friend.

and depending on the jump if you think your getting air see if you can turn the front wheel a little and if you will turn..

if the jump is small you will die when you land so this wouldnt be the best idea

but basically get a friend to look,

and to make sure you could lift up on your bike a little and if you got air just from ridin over the jump you will deffinately get air
