It's SNEAKY, but it transforms you to a Manual Master [EASY WAY Riders 40+] 

*wannabe* French adult film star. Aspiring, wannabe.

@@mountainbikeacademy don’t sell yourself short you have the looks, charisma, and most importantly, the mustache. In all seriousness though you make good content keep it up man.

⁠@@mountainbikeacademyi think this is a passable pose at 3:17 😅

Like world cup races, once you go behind the set adult movies lose their charms. Action movies are more fun I guess... They should have cast you as Reno's son for Ronin 2 instead of that 47 Ronin bs...

@@LaurentiusTriarius I would have fun acting in a movie maybe

more importanter for sure

Thanks-I learned most of the nuanced movements for manualing from watching BMX

what's ur addy lol

dang it already shaved it down I’ll bring it back don’t you worry When my wife least expects it BAM MO TIME

Same, now i'm old and scared. It sucks.

Thanks! Will do! Appreciate the comments too - helps the algo's push it out and all that. It's going to be really fun to run into people in person on the trails lol kinda nervous about that I'm introverted haha.

@user-pn9ld6rf8b guess what you qualified for a free slap! Come by any time to pick it up. After 10pm and before 6am get a free second slap!

There is such a thing as good practice and bad practice. And your bodys ability to tolerate bad practice drops off sharply with age and inactivity. I blew my back up forcing myself with bad practice and couldnt ride for almost 2 years and had to do PT to even be able to drive my car for more than an hour. Im recovered now and have a physical trainer. just general mobility, stability, and strength training have given me mtb gains that fat exceed my earlier solo "just blindly practice everyday on the bike and see what happens" progress. Practice is offcourse important, but you also have to practice the right things in the right way and meet the prerequisites for whatever you are practicing.

Traction be with you o good servant of Gnarnia

Cool username and I wholeheartedly agree on this. My trek ticket s begs to be manualed and it’s so lively and easy Commencal furious … ehhhhh little harder lol

Thanks mucho! I have a lot to learn

I linked the video in the description literally for this

I've never been shown how to use the row machine properly...plus its in the section of the gym with all the girls watching so I avoid it lol But I kinda get where you're going with this

and by girls I mean the 70 year old grannies who kick my ass at row machines

dang sounds like a cool move though!

I’m totally going to do this. I worked with kids quite a bit before running fun runs for school fundraisers. And my wife is a teacher lol. What do they want to learn and roughly what age ranges are we talking 5 year old v different from 9

@mountainbikeacademy mine are 9 and 12 both been riding about 9 months and they are getting to faster so they are start to get squirly. I've been riding so long I don't know how to teach. I just do it .

noted

nice! I was a performance coach for entrepreneurs so makes sense.

No. They’re probably dilated because the garage is dark and I only have a little light on. I like my little background accent lights too much.

I am trying really hard to come up with a slogan for us all to rally our cult behind so you kinda like it?

@@mountainbikeacademy i do too, greetings from Germany :D

Nice! Greetings from South Carolina :)

El Paso, TX

Prolly not but it’s really cool

The reason I asked was I have been racing since 1990 never could manual, but I could always wheelie, I always find that lofting the front wheel over certain obstacles on the DH definitely keeps my flow. happ trails hammerheads

Nice! Yeah I guess maybe in some situations it could? But for that wheel lifting yes that’s a solid skill let’s gooooo

I’m quite boring never done drugs lol

Shrooms ain't drugs, they're teachers

Is this yours? 🤣

I’m just making as many of these as I can in hopes of achieving gnarvana

Believe me I would but I only have so much footage to work with.

“I can manual forever” = you won’t lol you’ve already got it down. What does it feel like for you? Aside from “awesome” of course

@@mountainbikeacademy well zero use of core more lower back ,scapula depressed. Learnt on bike without brakes only to go to using brakes and would recommend using brakes. Getting comfortable with how far you can actually lean back on a mtb by learning to bail.

Fair enough! I def know people that got it a different way so you’re not alone. I’m going off of specifically what I’ve done and what I see in my riders I coach! Thanks for sharing this 💪🏻 because there’s definitely ways to make it work! Keep shreddin

It’s tough to be patient and think through a concept.

@reactingto7693 I watch a lot of science videos that are 1,2, and 3 hours long start to finish and learn are great deal. This is not about being impatient at all. It's about the gimmicky marketing tactics. If your content is truly engaging and interesting, you do not need to use these tactics.

@@1Sparrow1 Fair, I too can/will sit and watch a well-produced science or how it's made video. I really like those. I didn't mean to be rigid...I am trying to dance a fine line of "this is what I do" and actually taking feedback. So I really do listen and consider what you're saying. And I'm probably never ever going to compete with a well - produced 1-3 hour long anything...it's just not compatible with my goals. People "join" me because they want to be part of the movement (get fit, do things that matter to you on a bike before you die). Literally my dad died when I was 20, he was awesome and so is my family so I did OK, but it created this extremely harsh feeling of "I'm behind". Which isn't necessarily true. I realized later it wasn't that I'm behind...it's that life is REALLY precious and short and I/we get to choose what we value. And if we don't prioritize what we value, life picks for us and we become the passenger on the way to our deathbed with no cool experiences to speak for. So yeah I'm going to try whatever I can that WORKS to get people to join up because I've got a cool mission that's super fun and worthwhile. And I totally understand if you didn't like what you saw- that's fine! You may love what I'm doing but not like me - no problem! I'm just trying to show this to as many people as possible. Peace!

@mountainbikeacademy I respect your reply. Just for context, when you get time, look up Dr. John Campbell on RU-vid. His content is about health and well-being. He always puts the most important information at the beginning of the video out of respect for his viewers' time so they get the important information. Then, if they want the details, they can watch the whole video. No gimmicks at all. People really appreciate this and his channel is doing extremely well because he doesn't do the gimmicky marketing at all. You should really check him out even if you're not interested in his content to see his format. Cheers

Fair. I did use 3 examples of how I used to struggle with videos of me...so I was picking more on myself than anyone else. How would you help someone differentiate between other methods and yours without talking about how the other methods work? Serious question^

What are you teaching that is correct?

@@ellerybice3787 not a fan of constructive criticism?

@@mountainbikeacademy not bad to point out things to avoid just feels over done imo
