A look into the details behind the Downhill Body Position and how it ensures stability and balance to help improve your bike control and handling. www.zepmountainbikecamps.com
back in the 90's there were no youtube, no lessons, not even double suspensions, no man made tracks, everything was brutal, pure and the track was made by instinct , now I have a GT Marathon Team issue and i'm watching this shit lol
This video really is awesome. They really have a good thing going. The only suggestion I can make is using a wireless mic for the outdoor instruction. It's a nitpick for sure, but everything else is so well done, this is one item that could easily be implemented to make the audio quality consistent. But enough internet coaching...well done guys!
@adelsubot yes u can... but when u are riding through bumps or stones... a back suspension will help to keep your body centred so that u wont move and slip off a foot or something like that ;)
I ride a hard tail - still - I do apply these tips but when the terrain gets rough it gets hard to have full control over my bike, do I need to go full suspension or just train more?
ty man now i sure have something new to try.. just one question: should i consider buying a 780mm bars? i have smaller now and i use specialized enduro expert SL 2009's model
Hi I loved this video. I have a mountain I got from the Canadian tire. I think it has maybe 2-3 inch suspension. Its a Schwinn Incentive if you want to look it up. Do you think it would be a good idea to go downhill mountain biking with it? If not can you tell me some DH Mountain bikes lesser than $600? Please reply anyone. Thnx a lot
Awesome video... there's so much crap out there (and people don't realize it), but this was made by professional instructors and it shows. Would be good to see it on some new bikes though and to see if there's any updates since 2010?
Excellent tips and a well done video. Mountain biking looks like a lot more fun when you are on top of the bike rather than limping over to it and picking it up while trying to stop the bleeding.
i was soo into Road biking until is saw DH mountain biking :O away from noisy traffic & cursing car drivers to the wilderness must be a dramatic epic experience. cant wait to try it out.
Dang, where you riding? I wish I had a place like that to ride where I live. They like to pave roads for bikes around here, The Legacy Trail, really sucks. I hate to think that I'd move out of state over a hobby. lol
Depends on how you ride. I am a trek fan, if you want full suspension but you dont want to spend a lot or do anything crazy I would recommend an Fuel 7. If you are wanting to spend more money but you dont do any big jumps the Fuel 8's and 9s are awesome. If you are looking for some awesome down hill nothing beats a session 88, Good luck man keep riding. Also look at 29s but try before you buy they dont work for everyone I hate them but my buddy likes them.
The most helpful video ever! It fixed my finger pain caused by putting weight too far back, and added way more control and brake power with a balanced body position.
BmRoberts731: I, too, am a Trek fan and have a Fuel Ex 8. It can handle some pretty good drops. I dislike AVID brakes so I upgraded to Shimano and the bike itself can take on some pretty rough terrain.
I wish my mate could have taught me like this rather than just pointing me down a red run on my third ever ride, then getting pissed off when I couldn't do it.
