What about tips to learning how to ride switchfoot? I ride with my right
foot forward and I have found that I have considerably less balance when I
coast or get to a technical section when I am riding with my left foot
forward in the attack position.
You should do a video on how to do an emergency stop if an obstruction
appears on the trail, as in how to use the brakes to maximize efficiency.
Maybe a video on best shoes for grip on the pedals?
Hey neil! I wanted to know what bag you use on your rides? Something that
has water like a camelbak, But also has space for tools a pump and some
food?
Love GMBN videos! Really useful for everything about biking!
What about the waist and the kidney? How can I protect them?
Thanks for all the videos. Great tips!
Any hydration packs to recommend?
Where’d you get that bottle? I thought only the GCN guys could get those.
GCN bottle there….
Can you make a video of advice on the purchase of mountain bike

I have a mounten bike but no mounten:)
Hey GMBN … When can we buy those great looking long sleeve riding tops?
Noticed that eyewear didn’t get mentioned, and to me it’s just as important
as wearing gloves. Don’t care for getting poked in the eye by a branch or
debris while riding.
Both incredible riders and excellent teachers. If the Don was any drier
he’d be a cracker!?…

Please could you make a video on how to clean your bike after a ride and
also a video on what to wear on your ride !!!

Show ideas for you guys,
Have each of you compete in a race that’s not your discipline, get Neil to
ride xc, have Simon ride enduro and get Marc to ride downhill.
Will be good to see who copes best, and the expert can coach the novice and
we can grab some tips allong the way.

Fell off my bicycle by not choosing the right line. Learnt that the hard
way lol
Why does Marc most always look and sound stoned? Lol
