I’m a beginner-ish and your posts help me tremendously:) thanks... and I got the extra bonus of living in Vancouve and being able to ride the same trails ... keep up the great work
Thanks for the great video. Just hit this roll today for the first time. A bit wet and muddy (especially on the entrance in the roots) but everything went perfect. Thanks again.
just found your channel , and after watching this video finally conquered a local big rock roll with the peak over the bars tip , great stuff , hopefully get to ride with you guys when out to squamish in summer
I bailed hard on the final rock slab on Ditch Pitch a few weeks ago. I came into it blind and took an awful line. It was bad. These videos are awesome.
The best thing to do is practice and master the technique on a smaller obstacle and once you have the timing figured out and can be successful back to back, then increase the size of the obstacle. There are a number of smaller rocks and edges like this on Leave of Absence that work great for this.
How can you tell when to push the bike forward? I find myself setting up okay but pushes the bike too early. Also, I find it tricky re-centering myself on the bike at the bottom because: a. My timing is bad (probably because I am tense); b. I am not sure if I need to pull myself forward. I love the quality of your vid! I just hit the 👍 and subbed on this channel
You want to lunge the bike when you can get the front wheel to it's lowest extent. People with longer arms can lunge the bike further so the timing is different for everyone. For longer moves like this where you can't get the front wheel all the way to the bottom during the lunge, you want to lunge as the wheel crosses over the crest of the edge. If you do it too early, you will feel as though you are hanging off the back of the bike as it rolls over the edge and you might feel like you get tossed forward as the rear wheel goes over the edge. The idea is to be *ACTIVE* about the bike control, versus being passive. Hope this helps.
This has been my favourite MTB tutorial series focusing on rides. Very in-depth and beginner-friendly!
Great video! Thank you!

Thanks Khai!
These videos are awesome. Keep 'em coming!
Technical yet easy to understand explanation, better yet I’ve learned the lunge 10/10.
excellent !!! thanks
I can't believe you have so few subscribers - this kind of information is excellent

Happy to help!
Very helpful! love this series.
The prep before the roll definitely make this interesting.
The janky entrance definitely throws a lot of riders off.

Glad it helped!

I'm going to practice that roll down lunge next time I ride that👍👍

Great video!! Can you come to king road and do one so I stop wussing out and walking??? 🤣
I think it would make more sense to come out west - so much awesome out here!
Nice one!

Time for an update 🫠?
Not taking any advice from a dude wearing half helmet. They all say it's safe until they goto ER with a broken face/jaw.
