This video has got to be for people who’ve never biked in their lives
before…anyone who grew up on a village with biking possibilities already
knows these things from their childhood.
The basic rules are: Both wheels always on the surface as much as possible,
using the front brake as little as possible (overdo it and you’ll get a fun
surprise), and the most important of all: Do anything to keep the front
edge of the saddle from entering your ass.
Watching the guy trying to climb uphill while sitting was fucking painful
though. Stand up man!
Nice film some good technique, But you can control your skid, “13.36” and
you must learn how to. As A Kid who can’t remember skidding around on the
lawn. If your on steep scree slopes or vary muddy trails breaking hard on
the back wheel into a skids can save the day. As you demonstrated at that
sequence, you weren’t out of control ,AND you locked your bike up and turn
nicely on to rack. learning to control your skid is essential part of
biking. and with most people it come’s natural
Thanks for the very well thought out video. I’ve just done the Bontager
24hr race, and came off a few times and determined to improve on downhills
and technical sections. Position, cadence and vision all make sense. Will
be having a go at some this week. Cheers!
I am a beginner looking for an affordable bike for occasional mountain
biking. Preferably a hardtail that doesnt cost too much past $500. All help
is appreciated.
You need to get a frame as small as possible and learn to peddle standing
up, put the seat down as far as you can so it wont whack you up the arse
and put you over the bars. Standing up on the pedals lets you move around
more over the bike giving you much more control. Seat up in the air and an
oversized frame is for road riding. Some of the staff have joined what mtb
from another of their publications “What Caravan” So dont believe all you
read and only believe half of what you see.
Great shots 🙂 thanks so much!

hi
When I wear spandex my balls get chaffed.
nice tips but why are your front brakes on the right side of the
handlebars?.

straps …
