The Ride Series MTB Skills Clinics - www.therideseriesmtb.com/
The Ride Series was born from our passion for everything two wheels. We speak from experience and we strive to educate, entertain, and enlighten. This is a platform for our crew to showcase technique, reviews, trail overviews, and experiences.
THE CREW Founder Rich Drew - instagram.com/therichdrew/?hl=en Rich started racing BMX at age five, motocross at 9 and pro XC/Enduro in his late thirties. He's decent on the bike, but good at teaching. Lead Instructor Rob Drew - instagram.com/therobdrew/?hl=en Rob started racing BMX at a very young age, transitioned into motocross where he achieved some great success. Injuries ended his career and the bike became a surrogate. Rob is old and wise...like yoda. Mason DeKeyrel - instagram.com/mason_dekeyrel/?hl=en Mason is young and he rips on anything with two wheels. Caleb Leis - instagram.com/calebthesender/?hl=en
Mountain bike riding is so homoerotic. It's like " show me your calves again daddy. Oh yea, i like it when you shave then big meaty calves for me daddy."
Oh it’s definitely intimidating, I think that was the main goal when building it. However, the math on it is fairly straightforward and it isn’t that bad when you have an idea of the appropriate speed. You’ll get there 👊🏻
What he is doing is for safety if you want to boost it you got yank the bar at the very top of the lip as your standing up. Basically you time your pop to the very second aka stand up and your pull the bar to your lap
Loads of young riders on my area are bouncing their bike just before dropping. They know, with mobile phones everywhere, that people see watching and recording. There have been way too many accidents, many involving broken clavicles, or wrists/forearms. Admittedly, part of it seems to be related to weighting forwards, and lacking upper body strength. They're landing like their arms are wet noodles. Some riders are even getting face injuries from striking their stem/bars. Maybe also here because here the riders are shorter, and the bikes have really slack headtubes.
Used to ride up there, when I lived in Tulsa 25+ years ago. Nothing like it is now. Just a bunch of guys making our own way and riding up the power lines to get back to the top.
He's curling the bike into his body, bringing his legs up too high. I'm new or, more accurately, re-learning. The legs are being brought up too far! He made a big improvement on the last jumps, not bringing his knees up. It looks a lot cleaner through the jump. Nice! I'm just getting back on my bikes after a good 15 years off them! It's like a learning curve again with these new bikes, like my ATX and Kona's Ha! Great video.
Great channel! I think we're doing your Sept clinic. Turkey used to be my home base. If the Bentonville area, Turkey Mt, parks with jumps, drops, and chunk and some Colorado and Arkansas xc trails thrown in would you suggest the YT Jeffsy or Izzo. Underbike overbite question lol.
Rich, I have a similar problem, grade 4 maybe 5 injury! The difference is my injury is at least 2 years old and maybe more than 2 possibly 5! I thought my shoulder was shot and they recently replaced my shoulder and discovered this injury! My question is was your surgery out patient or was there a hospital stay and where did you get that sling? Thanks! My surgery is June 24, 2024 just 12 days away!
Thanks guys. I have 2 questions: 1. what do you do if you can't get enough speed, and 2. how do you adjust your arms and body if the ramp leading to the drop is downhill, because I feel I am pushing on handlebars too much. Thanks
Hey Rich, found this vid after watching your Nebo Peak one. Do you think the Nebo Peak would be able to last long enough, or just take a break to charge? Thanks!
what setting on my fork do I need to adjust if when I pump in to the ramp it just absorbs the energy the nose doesnt rebound? I ate it this weekend because I expected it to pop and instead nose dived.
Were the jump lines not open Rich? Perhaps they were still working on them when you shot this vid. I want to go up to Turkey just to check those out...hone in my TRS knowledge I gained at Bikefest 24'
