I've been into MTB since it wasn't officially MTB (yes I'm that old) and been watching MTB videos on TH-cam since they started. I've literally just watched this one today and it's my first experience of this channel. He's gone straight to the top. I hardly ever subscribe but subscribed to this immediately. What an excellent teacher. I used to be a school teacher so I know a little about that too. Clear, concise, keeps the viewer interested. Fantastic job sir!! You can even teach old dogs like me a new trick....... Or 12 😉
3 months ago, ridiculous! This instructional should have a ton of replies! People this info is FREE!! I'm 53 been on a bike since like 4. Never formally raced or anything but I love being on two wheels. My first series bike was BMX, then a rigid diamond back rigid mtn bike. Cruisers for years. The a Jamis hybrid for around town. Then I've been road for years, three Cannondale, currently a BMC & Scott RB. Now I'm getting back into MTN, trail riding. So many of these things I've done and never knew the terminology with exception of the wheeling. Just an amazing tutorial, thank you Super Rider!!! I'll pay it fwd for you and all those I know that I think it can help! Aaron, not many will give the goods. But you are truly a gem. Not selfish by sharing your knowledge and not expecting anything in return! Respect
I’m a former road cyclist that’s converted but I had no idea there was this much technical skill involved, I’m just now learning and I gotta say this is easily the best channel when it comes to breaking down a technique and how to actually practice. Thanks a billion!
@@SuperRiderTVyo it’s your biggest newbie fan here. Back again with a question, I have found during practicing that I fall often. Tips on a safe slow speed tumble so I don’t blow out my wrist or elbow? Thanks in advance!
@@MrJohnnyDisaster I would suggest riding flat pedals if you're not already. I know you're coming from a road biking background, which is almost exclusively clipless - but especially while you're practicing and learning, flat pedals make it a bit easier to "escape" or step off the bike during a crash. Also, over time, you'll get "better" at crashing. I know it sounds weird, but its sort of a skill that develops over time, just like everything else.
@ I feel that, I’ve tried to avoid clip less honestly because I didn’t know how to even track stand. It was always just go fast. I’m currently running the old school bear trap style flats, they’re smaller to save weight but work great for rough xc races. Do you think modern flats would still be better? I mean I’ve crushed rocks with these babies on a dab and I’m afraid I’ll miss how strong they are. As always you rock!
Hi I’m 60 btw and i did ride some DH and all Mountain back in 2014 and havent ridden since , fast foward to 2024 and ive decided i want to ride again so bought a Salsa Horsethief wish me luck. Great skills Compilation well put together !!
You a Bike Park Wales veteran pal? I've always been a bit to intimidated to go but recently watched videos on red trails there and even I might manage those 😉🤔
They were - although it gets a lot easier over time, your technique becomes more efficient. I don't expect anyone else to hop that much in one go, but I think it's useful to demonstrate how you can tackle any style of terrain with it.
Thank you so much for your instructions! I’m finding it easier to understand. Can’t wait to practice it next week after I get my mountain bike. I have had a mountain bike for so many years but fully been able to do proper high jumps over obstacles like stairs height etc.
The maneuver at 6 seconds in is a little unique, I think. It appears to be an often used method of dropping among pro riders, particularly when the entry to the drop is on a downhill slope, or otherwise so gnarly that you can't go in with bike momentum. I know it isn't that complicated, but if you search around, no one has a video on just that technique, rather they talk about drops when you're rolling, not drops when you brake to a stop a split second ahead of time. I can currently handle drops ok, but have not gotten this bike-length forward hop figured out yet. Looks to me like maybe both brakes, a big torso lunge from the lower rear to forward and up, and then shove the frame forward in the air, but like I said, I don't have it figured out yet.
59:26 I did that so many times today. I'm a total newb, but in my mind I'm supposed to be automatically athletically coordinated, and I'm stubborn so every time I would get tripped up by a feature or section, I'd be like "nah, run it back,,,,I can do better than that"
So much sick information! 💪🏻🤘🏻💪🏻 I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to takeoff with my weak foot, it seems to help me a ton with finding my pedals fast and accurately when I’m in the bike park with a short run-in to the jumps. I can always find my strong foot but I always struggled with needing to re-adjust my weak foot (when used second). But not if I start with my weak foot I find my strong foot still always finds its appropriate place so I have to readjust my feet less and can setup for the feature quicker.
Just found your channel and it seems like a treasure trove as I get back into mountain biking after a few years gap (and never having been that good/confident to begin with). Before asking any good questions, what’s the name of the soundtrack at 15:04? I really like it.
great tutorials, exactly what I needed, instant sub well explained and shown in practice, even slomo and broken down to key elements with examples how to practice the idividual elements needed to pull it all together in the end I want to get back into MTBing again in my early 40s and get a trial/enduro bike later down the road in a year or two don't want to get it now and over estimate my skills and get hurt, need some practice first better get some practice on a bike I somewhat know the limits of so started riding my 15 years old but not much used 2008 haibike scream rc (26" wheels 110mm/100mm full suspension XC) again and want to learn what I never did because no-one explained to me how ;o] kids today have it easy with all the YT tutorials at hand to hone their skills at young age ;o]
Thanks so much, stoked that you found this valuable! Thanks for being here - and I've got you covered on the Trials tutorials whenever you're ready, too. :)
Aron, your videos and channel are awesome! Two questions if you get a moment to reply... What lake area is that at the beginning of the video? It looks amazing! Do you have any recommendation for a good quality suspension seat post? Happy with my hardtail, but would like to make it slightly less harsh when seated. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks so much! That's High Rocks Park, just outside of Portland, Oregon. As far as suspension seat posts, I'm not really sure? I use a dropper seatpost on my bike, which is common - but has a different function than what you're looking for (I think).
Thanks Aron! My bad, I was actually wanting to know the area you were riding later the video such as 1:03:40. You're on a a ridge overlooking a beautiful lake. I hope to visit Oregon in a month or so and am looking for epic MTB trails like that one.
If you mentioned Suspension Settings in the video I didn't catch it. Would it make it easier if the rear shock had a little more bounce character than dampening characteristics. I got 2023 rift 1 and it shreds.
I just bought a giant trance x2 29 and started practicing front wheel lift, but it just seems heavy. I guess my question is are giant trance bikes just heavier than other mountain bikes?
Hello, me and my friends have a channel about everything mountain bikes. I was wondering if you have any tips about filming and growing the channel. Thanks!
I do recommend locking out suspension any time you're working on something new like these skills, that way you learn it without fighting the suspension. Once you get a basic feel for the skill, then it's time to open it back up. Great call out, thanks for this!
Its the same order for big fatty E-bikes ?! Weight of the biker count much ? 90kg biker + 27kg of bike,almost 120kg of weight looks hard to bunny hop !

better get some practice on a bike I somewhat know the limits of so started riding my 15 years old but not much used 2008 haibike scream rc (26" wheels 110mm/100mm full suspension XC) again and want to learn what I never did because no-one explained to me how ;o]

@@SuperRiderTV Thank you so much!
I was doing that when I was a kid
When you are doing a lot of these drills, are you locking out your rear suspension?
I do recommend locking out suspension any time you're working on something new like these skills, that way you learn it without fighting the suspension. Once you get a basic feel for the skill, then it's time to open it back up. Great call out, thanks for this!
Probably shoukd have started with trackstand
Aaron, it's like the cartoon character that puts their feet against a door and starts yanking on the knob...
That's a great way to think about it! haha
can you tell me plzz what cycle size you have
Large, 29” wheels, and I’m 5’11”

One of those are like an endo

What about light weight guys?
Its the same order for big fatty E-bikes ?! Weight of the biker count much ? 90kg biker + 27kg of bike,almost 120kg of weight looks hard to bunny hop !
Yes, absolutely - same order, and thankfully no big Bunnyhops required in this series. :)
are you sponsored by marin now?
No, but my friends work there and have been helping me out with bikes. Hopefully at some point it’ll be official!
wish they send you the prototype trials bike😁😁😁
2018 Marin RiftZone3 is an incredible all around bike . Do you see limitations in climbing or is it me
"Most peoples comfort zone and their balance point are pretty far apart"
Dang that is so accurate and hits close to home
The thing about practicing endos with a trials bike too is its pretty hard to rack yourself
I find riding with knee pads and shin guards can help extend my front wheel comfort zone because I don't have to worry about bashing my knee on the stem
I struggle with this same thing from time to time - especially on front wheel stuff. It's a never-ending effort to expand those comfort zones on the bike!
I put a squat bar pad on my top tube so I don't have to deal with sweaty pads. Yes I look like a dork, but my knees are beautiful now 😆
