Let her learn at her own pace, she's also gotta have the drive to do it too. A female friend of mine used to hang out with me when I rode, one time we went to the skatepark with 3 of our other friends & 2 of them bitched out of dropping in on a 3ft quarter and she's like "oh for hell's sake" grabs my bike, and drops in perfectly. I was proud haha. She then almost fell cause she realized the bike didn't have brakes. She had the drive to actually learn and I taught her how to bunnyhop. It's all about if they have the actual drive, I've seen girls who think it's cool so they wanna try it, but it hurts too much to try so they give up. Make sure she's having fun is what I'm trying to say haha she'll get there, try some smaller jumps and ease up to bigger ones
This 100%. I'm teaching my wife to ride as well. We're working on hops still, she can get off the ground, but we're working on form and height now. She thinks she should be on a pro level already, haha. She's ready to get back on the bike after having the baby, but were gonna take that slow since she had a c section. Definitely keep the brakes on your wife's bike. I would never send her off in the car with no brakes to get her to commit more to ending traffic jams, haha.
