Jumping mountain bikes at one of South Jerseys gems – Ceres Park, NJ [FTR Series]

If you are looking for progressive jump lines to up your mountain bike skills, Ceres Park in South New Jersey has got to be on your list. We were lucky enough to have two amazing tour guides in Brian from @BandE-MTB, and Steve from @BentSpokesMTB, to show us around. The jumps are mostly ramped (rather than lipped) and the landings are equally as smooth, so it just comes down to speed and confidence. There is so much more to show you at this park but in this video we focused on the jumps at B-line, also known as Wilson Trail and the big gap jumps on the Hurff Trail. All of the jumps have go-arounds so it’s easy to focus on one jump at a time and skip what you are not comfortable with. TRAIL DETAIL: B-Line is a wonderful intermediate downhill run with optional kickers all the way down. At the very bottom there is an optional creek gap that spans about 15 feet. If you are riding trail speed don’t touch the brakes after the last berm and you should have enough to clear the gap. Of course, the landing is long so adding more speed than you need is always a safer bet. The gap jumps on Hurff are also optional and range from 8 to 17 feet. The shortest is the last one on the left. Put a few cranks in after the bend and you should have enough speed to clear the 8 foot gap. The largest gap is 17 feet and traverses a fallen tree. I came in with a lot of speed and overshot the landing, but the run out is so good that it doesn’t much matter. The next big gap is right after and it is one foot shorter at 16 ft, however it is ramped up a little higher so it makes it just as exciting. Again I came in with too much speed but there is no penalty for over shooting this so have at it.
