  • Ever wonder how your riding buddies keep pulling away from you on the trail even though you're not braking? Well, they are probably using the terrain to their advantage and pumping in the right spots to generate extra speed. Join Ben Cathro as he explains the secrets to free speed.

  • @markharwood5320

    For those interested in the physics behind why pumping works it’s the law of “angular momentum”. Velocity increases when mass moves to the central focus of a curve. Put more simply, the riding technique is “go in small, come out tall” when navigating any curve (up, down or around). I’ve done this instinctively for years as a bowl skateboarder but only recently discovered the physics behind why it works. I’m learning to hit the trails on bikes and your videos are a great help, Ben. 👍

    This is incredible, can't wait to get back onto the trails and give this a proper try. My pumping has been improving but feels so inconsistent applied on the trails. I am definitely guilty of using too much arm and pumping with my legs too early. Pumping the transition makes so much sense.

  • @morinpatmorin1
    @morinpatmorin1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was my favourite of the series so far. Pumping to get cornering traction is something that I was sometimes managing to do intuitively but not really understanding it. Some corners just felt like I could cut them super sharp and still come flying out. Now that I know what's going on I find I'm doing it a lot more, and it feels great.

    13:24 interesting bit on where the transition actually is in a turn. On rollers or on a pump track it's sortof "obvious", but on a berm it doesn't always make sense where the transition is. Because the thing is on its side. Thanks Ben and PB, can't wait to try this out!

  • @crashfactory
    @crashfactory 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You're killing it with this series ben! So many other videos are sorta wishy-washy about the physics.
    However, I wish there there slightly more diagrams and/or overlays. There are lots of words and descriptions that are not completely reinforced visually. A subtle knee angle change could be called out with a couple lines, over-layed at the knee with riding footage, with a graph perhaps to show/prove exactly *when* the legs are extended to create that pump, in addition to the verbal description. Still absolutely the best video series about the technical aspects of riding a bike! Something along the lines of the masterful plot of the center of mass of the rider when pumping/absorbing on the trail.
