I've been in a MTB rut for years, just the basics. Your exercises are just what I needed to give me a challenge and something to work on. Thanks so much.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping to find... I’m a beginner and want to learn these so I can ride better but there’s pretty much nobody in my small Brazilian town to teach me. Will be doing these exercises for sure! 🙌
Endo is when you stop with front brake, back wheel in the air. Stop and turn is rolling endo. For me endo was hard. On road bike I learned to brake gradually more with back brake then front. Endo require grabbing fistful of front brake while hanging above handlebar. Goes against all instincts.. I recommend while learning endo on flat pedals wear shin protection. Especially on pedals with pins. Thank me later.
Thanks, great tips even if a wee bit outdated. Comfort at the extremes is essential, but comfort in the bottom bracket axle is where comfort in momentum resides. While angling the bike and front back weight shifts are key, driving the heart of the bike in the BB axle is accomplished and felt with heavy feet and light hands. Light hands let's the bike track better because it's driven through the bottom bracket, the suspension is more supple. Experiment here, stand aside your bike, lock the front brake and push the handle bars forward. The rear tire lifts like expected. OK, now put a foot on the pedal, weight the bottom bracket, lock the front brake and push forward. With the BB axle lower than the wheel axle the bike is more stable than just standing there. The fork compresses thus increasing traction on the front. None of this is remotely possible with heavy hands. It's not going to just happen, be aware and as you feel it the feedback loop reinforces the light hands heavy feet mentality.
@ 1:53 good exercise for dodging a tree and dislocating a shoulder! I was expecting this video to say something like deadlifts, front squats, backsquats, clean and jerks, and landmines...lolz
Also a nice technique is to ride on a very slow pace(2-3km/h maximum), use your brakes to slow down if needed to and try to keep balance and be stable. Still can ride a on a straight line and not falling off?!:S
Its much about the timing you have to lean forward to build up power in your fork and then you pull backwards and begin to Pedal you don't have to be strong at all hop i could help you. ( PS sorry for Bad english i am german)
Thanks for the video, I’m looking forward to seeing more, you make some very good points that I’ve never seen mentioned before & I’m going to try today! I’ve subscribed & very much looking forward to looking at your other videos!
Noctifago try to find you optimal balance point, I did this by holding my back brake and sitting on my bike and trying to balance. The next key point it trying to find the right gear, I find a harder gear easier, I normally use gear 3 on the front gears and 3-4 on the back gears. Finally you will find that if you pedal to quickly you will fall backwards, don't be afraid to pedal to quickly because using the back brake sparingly will prevent this. Hope this helped
Jak mocno przechylasz rower to warto zewnętrzne kolano docisnąć do ramy dzięki temu masz lepszą kontrole i niższy środek ciężkości do tego polecam opuścić pietę :)
Haesulla Taeranim No. From what I've seen you use a combination of the front brake and shifting your weight to life the rear wheel. Seth doesn't appear to be clipped in here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Uhe6qE2ULW4.html
So I have a question about going from 180mm disc in the front to a 203mm. I have the Fox 32 elite on a BMC TE01 with a 180mm. I want to go to a 203mm. I can see that it will fit but I have doubts about the stability of it. What do you think?
The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. ru-vid.comUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.
En realidad no, lo ideal es aprender a hacerlo con pedales comunes. Luego ya con los automáticos es mucho mas fácil, lo importante es aprender que el movimiento se lo hace con todo el cuerpo, no sólo con los pies.
No but you can if you are lazy but it will develop the wrong idea the idea is to learn how to lift your front wheel by shifting your weight forward not pulling with the clips
El Jefe that's probably your disc brake touching the brake pads very lightly due to little bending of your wheel because of your exercise. This exercise gives more side load on your wheels. Nothing to worry about, your wheels should be able to bend a little to be able to withstand impacts
Duck : i understand your doubt...you dont see this tecnic many times...! See how he keeps his arms always strait when going down and up with his fork? The trick is pushing the fork down with your body and strait arms and keep the strait arms when going up ... when going up if you dont bend your arms the spring effect will raise the front wheel...
I just found out the best way for doing stunts is an expensive light weight bicycle with good brakes which i don't have . My bicycle is just too heavy even for exercises. 😅😅😅
Sounds like your are trying to pull the bike with your heel. Try flat pedals for learning better technique, or for now, try to keep your foot straight/pointing forward, by holding your ankle stable.
Yes mate, lifting ur backwheel up is all done by your frontbrake and bodyweight, going sideways is done by bodyweight, too. It will work good with the grip from the pins on the platform pedal.
Basic language - teachers and school I guess, but probably he acquired the advanced vocabulary by reading a lot about bikes on English websites. What's more he travels abroad, mainly due to bike competitions so he meets foreigners.
His English vocab is really impressive, but at the same time the pronunciation isn't always correct. So I also wonder how did he learn all these terms? By self-study or naturally just by reading/writing/talking? I would suggest to make some minor improvements in you pronunciation, SickBiker, then your videos are going to be even better :)
