It's actually awesome that 3 professional riders take the time to do this just for the sake of helping others. Thank you very much, guys. If you find it interesting, Could you elaborate more about "pushing down through your feet". When I go through fast rocky sections, my feet come off the pedals all the time, specially my no-leading foot, no matter how much I drop my heels.
After just rolling down a vertical face I can report the technics described here were used. It was at least higher than my bike length and I didn’t want to fall off the face. Accelerated fast off the bottom and caught up with Shawn ( our ride leader) that showed me the drop in.
I personally experienced rock roll slide while slightly braking, realizing to release the brake , I save myself and the bike. Going forward I’ll practice the peak & push. In the past I typically stand tall to “peek” to see if something is rollable or dropable……
Appreciated hearing some new ways of thinking about steeper rock features but two things: How about that "G-out" at the bottom when it's an abrupt transition ie. how to keep from looping out with correct body position? Also, can you do something like this but on steep, long, loose loam where the traction isn't so good? I know it's kind of advanced stuff but I honestly can't find any good content on that sort of thing. Thanks!
I love everything about your videos! Really glad that you share your experience in such an understandable way. Could you, fellas, do a video on how to setup "natural" corners high? Like the ones you race on raw trails in Europe.
So I know you guys have covered cornering a bit, but wondering if you can cover a bit more about braking points, modulation and exit speed in detail. I've noticed that by working on my body position I can have more traction and carry more speed through corners, but there is a lot of times where I hit a tipping point in a corner depending on the sharpness/support that I have and end up dragging the brakes out of feeling like I'm going to go over the side. Especially unsupported or lightly supported turns. Maybe this is a bit more advanced or a video for down the road, but just giving some feedback. Good luck at the first EWS, appreciate you guys doing this!
