Thank you for this video! Earlier I have learned from Lee McCormack (book and video’s) that to have more power, you have to lower your heel on the paddle that’s up front, and also that you must lift up the heel of your other foot on the back paddle. This way, you have more power paddling up hill, but your video added some more wise knowledge! The wedge! Now this explaines for me that it becomes easier to practice the heavy feet and light hands. Your theoretical explanation makes it all clear to me. Keep up the good work!

Interestingly if you partake of 'Lee's hinge' (once riding and not on the chairs) method you end up in Roxy's technique almost by default.

This “wedge” concept is amazing. I struggle very much to keep the rear pedal heel down due to lack of flexibility. It makes perfect sense to lift that rear heel but pressing on the pedal to create the “wedge” force. This lesson is right up there with the most important ones about this sport. Thank you so much! 🤟🏼

Came across your channel today and love the way you describe things. The breakdown of everything is great! And the take a step back to take 2 steps forward!

I used the same technique to prevent feet from getting bumped off the pedals on drops or chunky sections of trail. It creates a nice balanced way of keeping both feet securely planted at all times.

In my younger years I practiced the Korean martial art of Soo Bahk Do for 12 years. Ingrained in my memory are various stances and the purpose and application of each. Roxy does a great job of explaining why the positioning of the feet are so fundamentally important to balance over the bottom bracket and all of the implications. Thank you Roxy for explaining the nuance - I am an instant fan and follower of your scientific/athletic process!
@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire
@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 2 года назад
Thanks a lot, Chris! Yes, there are many parallels to martial arts, and I am happy to hear that you as an athlete with experience agree. What I specifically love about martial arts and something that is almost fully neglected in MTB coaching. That is: in Martial Arts the focus is on SOLID fundamentals and repeating athletic moves MANY times before progressing too quickly. In MTB most people just bu a bike with a lot of travel and ride gnarly trails, consolidating their missing fundamentals on every ride... Thank you for watching and commenting!

I've had the pleasure of receiving Roxy's coaching feedback through RLC, but this is the first RU-vid video I have ever seen of her instruction. WOW, really impressed; especially with the topic. I don't see any other online tutorials going into this much depth about ankle position, but it now makes sense as to why it may be THE most important topic. Great job Roxy, and thanks for the valuable info; it really has me thinking about my trail riding technique. Keep up the great work.

This is fantastic. I'd seen other videos about "dropping your heels" and always thought it felt strange dropping my rear (left) heel/pedal. The front (right) one felt good and natural so I couldn't figure out why I didn't like dropping the rear one. "The Wedge" is the explanation!!! Thanks so much for the comprehensive walkthrough of this as its really helped me understand what's going on. I thought it was my lack of ability so much happier now!!!

I love your videos, and your analysis of the physics is really helpful. I have been struggling to maintain weight on the front wheel, and I think the wedge idea captures what it feels like when things are going well on the trail for me! It really helps to be able to have a concept and visual image to focus on. I also love the video where you talk about what level of difficulty you should be riding to make progress. I live in North Vancouver, and there are lots of very challenging trails here, but fewer moderate ones to work on skill development, and your advice to let confidence level (not ego) dictate what trails to ride is so important here. Keep up the amazing work.

​@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire I've checked your online courses and I've found them very appealing, expecially the fundamentals (almost the cost of a cup of coffee for each lesson!). I've seen a few other RU-vid videos of yours and the most important thing useful for a lot of beginners are your drills and exsercises useful to build up the tecnique avoiding accidents. Brian Lopes, Jeff Lenowski, and other fantastic riders can reveal their secrets, tecniques and give suggestion, but your work based on mini-exsercises BEFORE the actual skill to be learnt/mastered is something that makes the difference and put everyone in the condition to ride with confidence and safety. The other fundamental ingredient is the time and dedication: for this reason I'll look at your online courses in the next spring (if not summer :( ), but I'll follow you on YT and keep you in mind for a suggestion for friends or "collegues". ~ Ciro

I had flat peddles sitting in my toolbox for 2 years, I retired and was like well now is as good a time as any and I threw them on the bike. Best decision I’ve ever made, FF three years and I ride bike park all over the country (USA) for some reason the clipless never taught me how to lower my heel/heels and did azz-over-teakettle all the time. Just found Roxy recently and will definitely try the “wedge”.

Thank you Roxy. I too teach riding and focus on the philosophy behind the riding and the physics and psychology behind what we do. I love to share knowledge and as i say, your smile is my reward. Love your videos, Its the first time i hear your voice :) I grew up in the 80s, officially started riding in 1993. We didn't have youtube vids to teach us, i only had a hardtail with a 60mm fork that kicked me like a wild stallion when i didn't do the right thing. I learned technique the hard way, i didn't have a whole week where i wasn't injured. LMAO... Keep up the awesome work you do...

Awesome lesson! I've watched so many mtb tutorials and none have explained the "wedge" as you have. I've only heard the "drop the heels so your feet don't fly off" repeated on all the other videos. I can't wait to try out the wedge on my next ride!

This is so interesting, i have had coaching in the past who stated that heals down is fundamentals. I never got on with it as it always hurt and felt unnatural and from my BMX days we never did this as rode well. So thank you for this video and dispelling that MTB myth. I look forward to viewing the rest of your videos.

I’ve always ridden flats and in my never ending pursuit to improve, I have seen “heels down” over and over but just can’t do it when I ride. (Definitely not a flexibility issue). Thank you for helping me understand why I’m not wrong and don’t have to make it feel wrong to do it right.
@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire
@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 2 года назад
Hi Jonny. Thank you so much for this comment 😍 I always say: if it feels wrong, question it. If it’s just new and generally „makes sense“ (not just because someone says it, but because it makes sense even if questioned) then get used to it slowly. But if your body is saying „no“ it usually has its reasons 😃 So happy to hear you now know why it feels wrong and how it may feel better 🙃

I think learning to load my front tire has to have been one of the bigger struggles with my mountain biking. Instinct has us wanting to push away from things that scare us, but it ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy when you lean back, heels dropped and there is not enough weight up front for the tire to get proper traction. Not to mention the potential issues of being so far back on a super steep decent, some technical features risk kicking that back tire into your butt if you do not have proper form.

Thank you for this! I have mountain biked for YEARs and have been doing it wrong, and had front wheel washouts and instability at times. this will be a great help! I am a full cert ski instructor and a trainer, and work on COM and basic stance all the time, but never translated it properly onto my bike. And I coach all the time that it all starts in the feet for skiing. and yes, I have been on clipless pedals from way back in the day.

Hi Steve. Then change to flats for a few months a year and I can promise you - it’ll take your riding to the next level!! (Well, FIRST you’ll regress - but often we need to regress to progress, like an arrow that needs to be pulled backward first, before we can shoot it). Thanks for your comment ☺️😍

Hi Roxy, I have a pair, from when I was working on handling skills a few years ago, but they seemed to bother my knees a little as I was quite well planted on the pedals, and did not get any play in the pedal for my heels to move about when pedaling, as I do on my clip less. Any suggestions or thoughts about that?

I had reservations when I came across your video, but so glad I watched it! Even though it has never felt natural, I’ve always been trying to do what everybody seems to emphasize, “lower your heels and keep them dropped!” especially when it gets steep and gnarly. Ever since I started doing the heel drop, I’ve had trouble turning the bike! I believed it was because of another technique I needed to learn. I attended a clinic with Lee McCormack earlier this year, and he helped a lot! He didn’t speak of this wedge technique so honestly I was a bit skeptical but curious. This video is eye opening! I still experience understeer in faster / tighter corners, so I think this may help a lot! 🤘 I’ve never seen any of your videos before but instantly had to subscribe! It usually takes me more than one video… Thank you 😊

@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 2 года назад

@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire We do share the same name (except it is my surname) haha. Skeptical only because I’ve read a lot of material on proper body position, seen countless RU-vid videos, and was coached by Lee McCormack; and not once did I see or hear of this technique… However, I always like to question what I know and believe so I had to give this video a chance! I love to learn too! I feel learning is a way of life; even a true master knows he or she is an eternal apprentice at heart.💗
