❤🌹👍👍
Excellent tutorial! I would argue trackstands are the single most important skill a MTB rider can learn.
Agreed!! Underrated but SO FUNdamental!
Why would trackstands be the most important? Not asking to start an argument, I'm curious.
@@wob6776 if you think about it, being able to have good balance on your bike would help you with a lot of things in mountain biking, having good balance means not easy to fall to keep you moving(besides the explanations mentioned in the video).
I love riding tiny circles and ratcheting. It's completely insane how much it teaches you and you won't even realize that you're learning. But the next time you ride a hard trail you suddenly realize that parts of it don't feel so hard anymore. It's so cool!
❤🎉 absolutely agree 🎉🎉🎉 thank you for sharing, Laramie!
All of your videos have been so helpful, thank you
So happy to hear 😍😍
First time doing a track stand and fell over. You make it look so easy!

That flower stand bike would make me trackstanding in a minute!
Yes, I have seen it and I have subscribed to it.
Awesome, enjoy! The most important part is practicing regularly and sticking to the structure 🤓🤓
Found it! Thank you for the heads again. Keep up the great work thanks again!
Oh no, this is not the one I meant :-) - Please read the pinned comment.
I already learned the trackstand with other tutorials but I feel this one explains it the best.
Thanks. ♥️So happy to hear you can Trackstand. Such an important skill to have!
Probably the best trackstand instructional out there
Thanks so much! So happy to help!
Wow, you are a great rider and even better coach!

I love your tutorials videos, very detailed oriented. I would pick up what you are conveying and apply it in a practical manner and it works. Many how to’s videos lacks that extra details, for an example, you stated to stay centered and almost no effort on the hands. I tried it and does work. Thank you for your hard work and sharing your knowledge. Keep it coming...
So happy to hear, thanks!
Eu estou aprendendo muito com vc !!!
Obrigada 😊😊
Hopping off the bike from a trackstand at 0:33, I gotta learn that!
Go for it :-) It's called North Shore Dismount.

Before going fast, I have to learn to go as slower as possible
thanks
Thank you SO much, Henri!
Great socks ! :) Love it! :)
Hehe thanks 🙏
Hi Roxy, excellent tutorial. Cheers from Lima Peru!!
Thank you so much, Jose! Sending love back from mainland Spain at the moment!
Roxy, super Video & Erklärung 👍 Über RLC hattest du mir ja schon Tipps gegeben, aber das Video und die 10 Fehler war echt noch mal hilfreich! VG aus D! Alex

Great tutorials Roxie. You've inspired me to try this one.......and I'm no newcomer to riding either.😳😳😃
Whooop 😍😍🤗🤗☺️
Is that her backyard ??? That looks so nice. Roxy, Rocks !!
Thanks Lorenzo, yes, it was my backyard. I am currently moving to the mainland, but I also have a nice yard here 🙂
You're so badass and your tutorials are on point!
Thank you so much, Alexander. 🤗😊💪
EXCELLENT video, especially for a new mountain biker like me! Love how you broke down each step and love how you didn't make into 15 steps but a relatively simple 5 step process. Thank you!
Thank you so much 😍😍 so happy to hear!

Excellent coaching
Thanks so much! Do you know my newer videos already?
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire some of them, yes. I cant figure why the channel isn’t much larger. The content is great.
Please keep it coming :)
@@memememe843 thanks a lot, J.C.
It’s not as big, because it’s not really entertaining 😊 My focus is offering real, deep, educational content without bla bla and without focusing on making it entertaining, because I believe it distracts from the essence of it. But of course this means that the videos are too short to fall into the „standard algorithm“ 😊
The channel is still growing, I haven’t been doing this for long.
Everything in life needs time.
Of course I always appreciate it if you share it with friends 😍🥰 and therefore help it grow.
Have a lovely day!
Awesome video! I just found your channel and really like the physics explained with the motions in your videos. I was recently thinking that improving track stands would help with my riding in the rocky AZ desert. Being able to balance for longer periods will really help in my confidence on features and just getting up punchy hills.
Thanks!
Thank you, Dietrich. Looking forward to hearing from you how the tutorial has helped you improve your trackstands. Do keep us all posted!

@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Es ist ein cooler trick on zu sehen, und sicher er zu können! Mit dein Professionele unterstutzing werde ich das sicher schaffen!
thank you, a lot of the sources i looked up just kinda told me to do it but not how to learn it
happy to hear! and happy to help :-)
Me encantan tus vídeos muy detallados,antes sentía mucho miedo enfrentar pequeños obstáculos, gracias a tus lecciones e aprendido a enfrentarlos .❤❤❤
Gracias, Daniel, ya has empezado mi curso gratuito de Trackstand?
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 😍😍
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 👌👌👌
Thank you so much Roxy. I have practiced several short times, and sometimes longer for the last month, and today, I was able to trackstand on flat surface reasonably well. It was your neurology video, that gave me faith to commit. Thank you so much Roxy! Yours gratefully, that is on hos way back to the technical terrain, with improved balance, and confidence.
Way to go, Tommy!! Persistence and structure always pay off!!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire So true, I'm amazed, you see, I'm closing in on entering my sixties. Thank you so much. Dividing the challenge into qonquerable? parts. That is also an eyeopener from you I've started to utilize. And, your video was clever too, in the way that what you didn't say, I was able to figure out. 👍🙏
@@tommybollman4546 so so happy to hear!! If you like them, on my patreon channel I also have trouble shooter tutorials and I film personalized content - maybe this helps even more 😊😊 www.patreon.com/rideandinspire
Enjoy practicing, Tommy! And pass on the word!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Thanks. I may, should I get the opportunity. Thanks again. 💯
I’ve found keeping my gaze up and forward (on one point) helps me to stabilize better.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
I was jealous of a kid of 15 years that could do this, I was 21,in 1982!I learned it quickly because I have a good sense of balance and can do it forever. It's main value is in urban traffic, but it's a great show-off move. I just rode over 500 miles from LA to Vegas, then kingmaniac,and parts of the remainder to the Navajo rez, exit #346,stop by, I'm on the northwest corner of the intersection. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message and I challenge anyone to a track stand competition.
Way to go, Bob! Whoop!
Thanks you so much for the tutorial. I won a new cycle because of track standing. 😊😊😊😊😊
awesome, congrats!!!
Your American English is excellent! Not sure if I'm more impressed by your language skill or biking skill.
Hehe thank you 😊
I am a very slow learner, but this video gives me hope that one day I can learn this skill. I'm still on step 1 though!
Hi Carol, step 1 is the most important step and by taking it, you are way ahead of most riders :-)
And every day you get out to practice, you are beating everyone who is on their sofa ;-)
If you'd like to join RLC, to get more steps and coach feedback, you can try it one month for free with this link to join: learn.ryanleech.com/roxy
Thanks Roxy, that's good to know! I think I'm getting the hang of step 1 now. Seem to need quite a high gear though... is this right?
@@carolw8695 way to go, Carol! Yeah, Start off with what feels right first :-)
Thanks. That's my ultimate goal, to be able to eat ice cream while still on my bike. :)
Awesome! Have you already seen my free Trackstand course? I break the move down in even more steps and it’s very easy to follow 😊
I am not an expert MTB rider. I have converted from road riding to MTB riding and have found your videos very clear and detailed. I am trying to learn to track stand using your steps. You advise to turn the bars away from your forward foot. But I notice that in many other trackstand videos they advise turning the bars towards the front foot. Which is better? People obviously manage to trackstand using either technique.
Hi David, I actually have a free Trackstand course now - have you seen it?
roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy
The goal should be to be able to Trackstand in all 4 versions, so there’s no right or wrong way 😊
Great advice :)
Thank you so much 😊
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire yeap and It seems like you like coaching no less than riding . So which of them makes you feel better more ? 😉
@@tomaszratajczyk6317 Difficult one. But I gotta say I love helping people make breakthroughs 😍
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire do you start in any championshiph ? Xc , Enduro , DH?
@@tomaszratajczyk6317 no, I train pro athletes, but I, myself, am not a racer at heart.
i have done some practice for the last two months now. I did not think i could pull it off at first but i got better and better. Now i can confidently track stand even on a flat surface. I can also do a seated trackstand, a one handed and a no handed but the no hands track stand is a little trickier and im only able to last about 40seconds. While learning, i only turned my front wheel to the right. Now im trying to learn to do them with my front wheel pointing to the left. It appears i have come full circle and i cant seem to pull off anything with my wheel pointing left.
So great to hear about your progress! Feel into yourself - what feels good when practicing with the wheel pointing right? Then practice with the wheel pointing left - what feels different?
And then try to reploicate what feels good on the right with your wheel turned left.
OR - start over with the 5 steps with your wheel turned to the left :-)
Good luck - you can get there!
Great tutorial Roxy. My freehub has only few teeth (15?), and I find it difficult to ratchet at an appropriate gear ratio. Do you have a suggestion? And also: how do you do the ‘back’ on the flat?
Hey there, I now offer this free course, you’ll get more detailed how to there: roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy
It definitely is more difficult with less points of engagement- which I why I recommend upgrading the wheelset (and hubs) as one of the first parts on the bike.
This video will explain MTB Parts Upgrade: Maximum Results!

Have fun practicing 😊
Thank you! and Please, where do you guy your mtb clothes? I'm short and petite and is so hard to find mtb shorts and pants that fit.
Hi 🙋♀️ I wear ENDURA shorts in XS and they fit really well and are super comfy. Do you have ENDURA where you live?
Volume a little low. Great works tks
Have you tried a smartphone? Usually the volume is fine there 😊 many computer speakers make my voice inaudible.
Thanks for watching!
how do you do a ratchet back? Pedals on my bike are just rotating back freely, without moving the bike backward.
That’s true on any bike 😊😊 It’s called a free-hub and without it we couldn’t coast with pedals level. 😊😊
To ride away from the wall you need to push yourself rearwards a bit and then return to a balanced stance.
i am a senior citz n learning to cycle. Pls if you could give me tips for balancing + control. Thanks
I have something way better and effective than tips: a FREE course 😊 I’ll link it in my next comment.
Here it is roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy 😊😊💪💪 enjoy!
What gear should you be in? My boyfriend says it should be a very low gear, but I find that there’s not enough resistance in the pedals to do the small ratcheting action.
Totally true! A gear that allows you to ratchet comfortably. It’s very subjective, but if you feel it’s too easy, it’s usually too easy :-)
Hallo und alles Liebe! Geiles Video, gibt es dieses Video auch in Deutsch
Hi Erwin, ja, sogar viel besser:
Hier ein gratis Trackstand Kurs auf deutsch roxybikeonline.podia.com/trackstand-challenge
Alles Liebe 🫶
You talked on a perfect english, then suddenly you switched to the native german, it was just like a glass of cold water sprayed in the face lol) so refreshing )
Besides the joke, you skills are amazing, my trackstand isn't even half as good as yours) Wish i could be as good as you at it someday.
Thanks 😊 Do you speak German, too? If you do, then check out my free German Trackstand course on www.Roxybike.online
If not - just follow the steps I give you in this tutorial diligently and I can almost guarantee you that you’ll be able to do it at least as good as me, soon! 😊😊
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire I learned German in the first two grades of the primary school, then i moved to the other city and got english in new school, so I've learned a couple german words and still remember them after 30+ years lol) Thanks for the offering, i'll take a look at the site you mentioned above.
Tolles Video. Hast du das in deutsch??😁
Nein, aber etwas viel viel besseres 😀 Den gratis Trackstand Kurs: roxybikeonline.podia.com/trackstand-challenge
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire den hab ich zum Glück schon. Tu mir auf dem ebike aber etwas schwer mit dem üben. Auf dem Enduro ging es einfacher 🙃
@@lealoitz-reljic2175 alles was schwierig ist, formt uns 😇😍💗
can do them if I need to but can't do them if I try. has to be an instinct move, if I think about it, I lose balance.
Then it's not yet automatized :-) Keep practicing consciously and you'll get there! It's a super important skill to be able to do when you try :-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire like I said can do it when I need to but cant do it if I try so can do it. have been riding for around 40 years, it is just my way of getting it done.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you always do ;-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire ok I see you really are not someone I should take advice from, you think your way is the only way and how dare anyone do it their way. wish you luck but am out.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins NOPE - that is not at all the way I am :-) If you think so, then you have probably not watched my videos.
I am just a person with a "growth mindset" - which means, that there is never just one way of doind things AND there ALWAYS is a solution to limiting beliefs and limiting movement patterns.
As a professional coach, I always look for solutions to suit my client. But if someone says " it has to be an instinct move" and then can not perform the move consciously (like you wrote), then I know too much about how learning works, that I can say: that I know that there is more to learn for this person - IF they want to evolve.
If you don't want to, then I fully respect it. But as you are watching tutorials, I thought you may want to. If not - then that is TOTALLY ok.
First step at 2:20...

Thumbs down on the ebike
It’s not an ebike. It’s a Lapierre zesty AM fit 5.0 and the little box at the bottom has space for a spare tube 😍
BUT - thumbs down on the biketype-ism 🙂 Thumbs up on tolerance and respect. 😍
Would have been a better tutorial video to have simply copied Trials Rider Ryan Leech's method as a refresher tutorial video instead of trying to break it down. Didn't understand some of your choice of wording use to describe your technique......pedal back is clearly more informative than your chosen wording.
And why use an mid-drive ebike which is easier for this demonstration over a regular manual drive bike which is clearly harder and more skilled to demonstrate.
If you want to increase your content viewing, just copy what others like Ryan Leech, Jeff Lenosky have shown to demonstrate in their videos in the way they are shot and explained. No one would be none the wiser because those tutorial videos are so old for today's audience viewers.
Still I'll give you credit for trying as there are little or no videos of female MTB riders showing how it's done.
Why not just copy others…? Well 😁
1. The road to success is NEVER just copying others. It’s getting inspiration but then THINKING, REFLECTING AND finding something that has never been done before. That’s how innovation takes place.
2. I have been a full time coach training all levels of rider (beginner to Olympic pros) and all levels of instructors for years - my methods work. I am sorry if they didn’t work for you in this tutorial (have you actually tried them? Maybe then you’ll realize WHY I brake the move up into digestible chunks?) - but in a private coaching I can guarantee you that I would’ve found the words to explain it for it to make sense TO YOU. That’s what makes a good coach a great coach - having several ways to explain the same thing, to find a solution for the unique person he/she is coaching.
3. The bike I am using is NOT an ebike. It’s a zesty am fit and the little box at the bottom holds a spare tube.
4. Why do you point out that you give me credit “as a woman”? That is pretty sexist…
5. My channel is NOT about increasing content viewing. My viewings will increase because my focus is to genuinely help riders and instructors by sharing my knowledge and love. And luckily I know that I am. (Just read the other comments on my videos and read my ratings on Google and what my clients say).
6. If you think you will find PERFECT and individual coaching on TH-cam, then this can happen by chance on one video, but the next video will have wording that may be ambiguous FOR YOU - and another person will understand 100% what is meant. That’s the difference between making a tutorial for a “general audience” vs individual coaching.
Hope this helps!
