      The shralp is amazing, I just cant figure out how the front tire keeps traction. Do you got any advice? I can't sample any more dirt than I already have.

      I love a tidy berm, riding high then cutting down to gain speed on the way out, I love that big leaning feeling.

    It would be good to see one of these tutorial videos with a random rider , I think it would be easier for most people to relate too. Have someone like Gee pick apart what they are currently doing then try to teach them a better technique

    Great seeing Gee in action!😎 I remember a tip from Aaron Gwin who’s not too shabby on the bike, he said ‘lay the bike down’ as you corner! Genuinely does help!👍🏻

    This is what I love about bikes in general and MTB in particular. A normal day out on the trails and you happen to end up following one of the best riders in the world. Sharing the fun and have the same thrills. You don't really get that in other sports.

    Martin, outstanding video! Please keep up this type of tutorial, it is so helpful!! And please keep bringing in the pros.
    I love the whole GMBN brotherhood. Would love to see some split screen on the good technique that all the guys are trying to teach us on one side with the bad technique on the other side to help with a comparison. Maybe create a series called pro school with Richard, Blake and Neil of course as well as yourself. Bring in all your pro guest friends every once in a while. If you use the name Pro School I will only charge you some GMBN bling, LOL

    About being loose on the bike. It is as with all things. If you master something you grew so much of the important small muscles and helping muscles in combination with the neurological adaptions that you will be loose from an outer perspective. Take a beginner and let him be loose and he will just crash. It's like with climbing. They tell you it's all about technic. Well it is but in the beginning you need to develop the grip strength to make the technic work for you.

    funny how its different dependant on who you go to..I booked a cornering course at BPW and they 100% advocate level pedals all the time as its not always possible to switch from left low to right low without backpedalling..i find that way far more comfortable and no loss of grip..

    @h_xgaming4115 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Bro... i Went through a loose flat corner today, a quite short corner aswell. I was going like 5 times slower than he would and i was confident but still i managed to lose the front end i belive, not totally sure. I also crashed at a spot where my chest hit something and i could not breathe for a minute. But i were fine and kept riding. (Im gonna try all these tips next time and hpefully i can breathe the next time too :)

  • @richardjensen3655
    @richardjensen3655 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I hate it when the pros share tips like this because it just ends up ruining the corners. Trail braking into corners causes ruts that don't go away until it rains a lot and there is real trail work to fix them. If they don't get fixed the ruts stay there forever. All because of a few careless slides that snowball into many forced slides later.
