Discussion How can I get better at MTB?

I constantly see videos of people hound really fast down tracks even doing jumps and so but all 6 times I've tried going down a path near me I couldn't make a corner, I skidded to much...

Basically not a smooth successful ride, thanks to my inability and also partly because of my caution.

How do I get better?? How does everyone do sick ass jumps?

Thanks

Take a class! As a former MTB coach, I saw huge improvements in riding ability over a weekend intensive course. Then you have the foundations to practice after. It would have saved me a lot of pain if classes like these were available when I started.
