The fastest way to increase your speed and efficiency on the bike is by using a pumptrack to get serious repetition for one of the most overlooked skills in all of mountain biking: pumping.
Pumptracks are incredible resources (and they are popping up everywhere in the world), because not only are they the perfect place to learn how to pump, but because of the loop design, you can rip laps and get a ton of practice in just a few short minutes.
Teegan and I just got home from a big cross-country bike trip, and the day he made the most progress was when we rode a pumptrack with Eric Porter (from ‪@PorterMTB‬ ). Things seemed to finally "click" for Teegan's riding after that, so we wanted to share the lesson with everyone in hopes that it could do the same for you.

Another underrated thing about pump tracks: they are a hell of a workout since you utilize most of the big muscles of your body, your core, and your leg muscles to create momentum.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Good call, spot on!

@Jackofafewtrades Месяц назад

@@SuperRiderTV protip for teaching pumping. You can teach the timing really well by teaching people to weave side to side to generate speed without pedalling. It's how I learned to pump and practiced on days I couldn't go to the BMX track and skatepark.

@Mytik136 Месяц назад

Watching your video made me go to the nearest pumptrack.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Awesome!!

@Baguioboy-torogikid Месяц назад

great tips! I like the phrase "it breaks you out of your comfort zone, and outside that comfort zone is all where all the progression happens."

@outbackwack368 Месяц назад

I'm 65 and this was EXCELLENT! I hit a pump track in Colorado on my full-sus and didn't get much out of it. This totally explains why. Thanks!

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Awesome, so glad it was helpful! Have fun!

@annekebeerten Месяц назад

Pumptracks are so fun and great to work on skills! Awesome video 🙌

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Thanks Anneke! 🙏

@Teracis Месяц назад

Huge progression there for Teegan! I'm definitely adding clown pumping to my warm up, I'd never heard it called that but it's great!

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

I made it up...but it works, right? 😂

@juananjuanan9606 Месяц назад

I LOVE your videos. Great explanations. Your follower from Spain.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Thank you!!

@sambarber6115 Месяц назад

Clown pumping is definitely something I'll be practicing! In berms it's not gravity that creates the speed it just pumping at an angle. I finally got this when I learned the science. We're moving our centre of mass closer to the axis of rotation, like moving closer to the middle of a roundabout in a playground.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

It felt so silly to do on flat ground, but it turned out to be the easiest way to teach the skill. Amazing what happens when you push someone out of their comfort zone, there's so much room to move around on a bike that almost never gets used.

@BrianCooper901 Месяц назад

Wow! Kids grow up fast! Back in the day it was all about finding the BMX tracks to hone this skill and trying to manual the rhythm section!

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

I still have some great memories of riding bmx tracks with trials gear ratios together! :)

@mattgies Месяц назад

Good to see you back at GG! I subscribed a few years ago when I saw your video doing some trials moves there. And I'm intrigued by your description of using your elevation on a berm like a roller. I've heard a few people describe pumping berms, but none of them mentioned actually varying the elevation of your line. I'll have to give it a try next time I'm out there.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

It was fun to get back there - I need to hit that place more often! The rollers at GG are all a little different, but definitely play with your height in the berm the next time you get a chance to see if you can squeeze a little more speed out of it. That one on the corner there is perfect for it!

@Dabbill Месяц назад

Nice video man. Hope the trip with your son went well. Going to be fun to watch the progress of him. You do such a good job at breaking down skills. I have passed this video on to a couple people I think would benefit from it.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Thanks Dabbill! This was my warm up to the mountain of footage I have waiting for me on the roadtrip content. Excited to share that stuff, hopefully will have the first one out in a week or two!

@Dabbill Месяц назад

@@SuperRiderTV Can't wait man :) Looks like your boy has a few inches on you. LOL.

@sapinva Месяц назад

No pump track around here, sadly. I learned it by listening to the tires and pumping turns in a flat parking lot. You really don't need rollers or berms.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

I always thought curb cuts were good for this, too

@eastfish1 Месяц назад

i saw your channel on wechat/chinese social media, i like it. keep it up.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Awesome! Thank you!! We're working on something special for next year in China, stay tuned! :)

@junka1975 Месяц назад

Nice one Aaron. Teegan certainly made quick progress with those few tips and a bit of practice. Like you say "Practice makes progress." 😎👍

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Incredible to watch him pick up this new skill - and how much impact it had across his entire skill set!

@dealer6492 Месяц назад

I take off the chain from a bike on the pump track for most impact to my skill. I’ll recommend try the same thing for everybody

@SamKessing Месяц назад

Is the marin rift Zone 2 a good bike?

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Yeah, this is my main bike right now - I'm having a ton of fun with it!

@LaurentiusTriarius Месяц назад

Well the worst thing about my local pumptrack is that it's not directly in my backyard 😂

@Zaxaphone Месяц назад

Yeah my nearest one is about an hour away and it's really small and has some really bad rollers that can't be pumped.

@mattgies Месяц назад

Then how big is your back yard? I've been thinking about building one in my own.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Nothing a few hours with a shovel can't fix! :)

@thejenster7890 20 дней назад

Jason wants a Super Rider tee shirt printed for me that says, "Outside of your comfort zone is where all the progession happens." 😂 Yup, I need to try to clown more.

@martinschwartz7342 Месяц назад

That was great advice. I especially like the clown-pumping advice. I never heard of that before. Thanks, Aaron. How tall is your son?

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Thanks Martin! He's 6'2"

@lalligood Месяц назад

Berms are nothing more than angled rollers.

@Sunspot-19 Месяц назад

Aaron, my bike is allergic to tarmac!!

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Time to start digging a dirt pumptrack! 🙌

@Sunspot-19 Месяц назад

@@SuperRiderTV The prefered is natural. Deer are better engineers than the majority of the trail builders!!! Natty FTW, Baybay...

@linusprivatmejl Месяц назад

Watched this vid and biked to the local pump track afterwards to practice. It made a big difference, thanks! But two questions popped up when riding the pumptrack. First one, should the elbows be ”tucked in” towards the body when pumping down or should they be more pointed outwards in more of a ”gorilla” stance? Second one, I find it quite easy to ride berms to the left, but have a bigger issue (more fear) doing berms going right. Should I switch which foot is in front depending on if it is a left- or right-turning berm? Right now I almost always have my left foot/pedal in front.

@SuperRiderTV Месяц назад

Awesome, so glad to hear it was helpful! I would probably go wide with your elbows, that seems to help me get lower on the bike. As for corners, I would do whatever you find to be easier - but for me I keep my stance the same, even though one side is stronger than the other. I think that's relatively common for most people...just takes practice to progress. Have fun!

@linusprivatmejl Месяц назад

@@SuperRiderTV Very appreciated. Thanks a lot for the clarifications.
