Last year for my 40th we were up in Tahoe. The guys at Over the Edge told us we should ride Armstrong Connector and Corral. We had a blast and were so surprised to find the bike park at the bottom of Lower Corral. Had a blast. Wasn't as fast and stylish as you guys but fun non the le less. I posted a video of it on my RU-vid if you ever have 20 minutes to kill.
I have no problem hitting jumps of those size, but I can't add much in terms of style. Any tips? Does the movement start in the takeoff? Are you manhandling the bike mid-air or using momentum?
SG - MTB if you want to whip, you have to slightly curve your take off angle so that in mid air your bike is sideways, then bring it back before you land.
SG - MTB the most dramatic movement definitely happens just before and right as you are taking off. The actual stylish part of the whip which happens while you're in the air is really just you regaining control and then pulling your bike back from the tweaked out position you take off in. Send it brother🤘🏻
Sean pretty much covered it there! Just practice and you'll figure it out. Once the bike is in the air you can't do much, so the takeoff is key. Good luck!
Fast AF as usual, gentlemen. So dusty there! I know Flume has only just become totally clear of snow in the last week or so. Is Corral trail at lower elevation?
Do you feel that your sacrifice anything when riding your 29er, also would be cool to see a break down of your gear and things you take while on a ride
