Bonus tip: if you look at some of the clips you can see they have their peddles level when they are not peddling. This is a good habit to have so your peddle doesn’t get caught on a root or rock.

My guys accent alone gives him +10 mtb skill points.

One I think you missed, off the brakes in the gnar and no mention of getting light or heavy on the bike where needed.

best bike channel ever :) keep it up

Keeping your head up and keeping focused on what is coming up on the trail is the biggest tip in my opinion. When you start getting hyper focused on the little obstacles and start staring down at your front wheel, that’s when you make the biggest mistakes like running into a tree or whatever lol. I speak from experience, we should all keep our heads up and looking far down the trail

Very useful. Thanks for the tips ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

Have you's thought about doing a video on protection?i.e padding, best most essential padding (helmet, shin guards?) and opinions on full face vs normal helmets? would be a really interesting video because a lot of it is a matter of opinion i guess :D love the videos!! just what i needed to fuel my mtb needs when the weather is bad outside ! keep up the good work!!
-
great video guys.
-
I love the way they tern

Great tips, thank you for sharing guys. My girlfriend and I are looking to improve our skills and looking to get some new bikes. We have to make decisions between titanium and carbon? Hardtail versus soft tail. Also, I'm not liking the single front derailer stuff. How does that make sense? Would love to hear your comments on the above

In my opinion, lower your chest to the bike is one of the most important things. I learned it the hard way. I kept putting one foot on the ground. However, after lowering my chest to the bar when climbing, cornering, and going fast through a lot of small sharp rocks, I enjoy the ride.
