Are you going to try out these techniques on your next ride?
not on my next road rides, but on the next gravel rides i definitely will. Especially the body position part
I knew about weighting the outside foot but not counterbalancing the inside hand. Will give that a shot when I get off Zwift (-20C at the moment...).
also on roads it could works?
-8? I have raced CX in summer kit at -8 come on lol GCN when the world goes back to a somewhat normal state you should bring on a Canadian for winter riding lol
@@filippopogacar I reckon this is for all settled conditions. I use the line as much as I can already and it transfers to car and motorbike too.
Braking I don't usually consider which is front or back, so will be interesting to see how this helps. weight on inside hand likewise.
I like the fact I have been riding for decades and learn stuff all the time.
So pleased that Pro Bike brakes squeal too👍🏽😂
It's so wonderful to see Ellen Noble. she is a phenomenal cyclist and a truly courageous and inspiring person. Here's a thought, now Jeremy Powers has taken a step back from being the North American reporter for GCN, Ellen would be an awesome replacement.
Great idea!
I want BOTH Ellen and Jeremy!
Absolution LUV seeing and hearing from Ellen Noble!!!! More please!
Ellen did great. She has a strong camera presence and she was very articulate with her instructions. I’m not saying we need to replace any of the Presenters, but Ellen would make a nice addition to GCN.
Also on cornering, remember to look where your want to go, not where you are. Keep your head up and look forward, not down. Let your body follow/turn where you are looking; your belly button is the "third eye". Good video, and yes Ellen Noble should be asked to contribute more insights into CX techniques. Thanks, Hank.
belly button is the "third eye" -- definitely trying this
When following my fast mate on his mtb with my cross bike on fast trails I use this braking technique and when done correctly you can really increase your speed a lot. When braking in the corner with the back brake to just let the rear wheel lock a tiny bit for a split second the bike just turns and you can fly on twisty trails. only for the brave though, this can get sketchy very quick if it's wet out
Really enjoyed this content. Thank you GCN!
Love seeing Ellen on the channel! Hank was cornering properly aggressively!
Becca Fahringer would be a great correspondent too.
Great to see Ellen on GCN! Would be cool to hear more (even indoors and over coffee/hot beverage of choice) about racing lines / breaking / various techniques and tactics in CX, and things you need to look for as the events/races progress. What I find very cool and interesting in CX races is the dynamics of changing conditions, evolving race situation, and riders getting tired - as the surface gets more ruddy and muddy and some lines become slower/riskier, or when rideable lines emerge in the sandpits, or the race situation pushes you to take more risks, or you just can't ride up an incline anymore on lap 5 etc. Would be really cool to hear more about this from someone of Ellen's caliber and experience in CX racing!
Ellen Noble is the best! --/ Bunny Hop The Patriarchy \-- She would make a terrific GCN & GMBN presenter.
I can feel Hank is freezing 😂
Between GCN and GMBN, can we have a more in depth video about how to optimize braking in different scenarios? When to brake, with which brake?
Another thought about cornering on any kind of bicycle is the similarity to balancing while carving turns on skis. Upper body position and weight are important but quiet and staying on the outside of the turn ( outboard of the top tube ) stabilizes bike and rider. #1 thought to remember - the turn you are making is a new experience as well as the line so ride it "like a jockey rides a horse." 75 years young and still carving turns in both sports.
Love Ellen Noble, of course Hank too, bravo 🤙🏼
Turning through steep declines is very different. When turning on a steep decline, start high and stay wide, then pivot and do the majority of your turning while still high, then you can release the brakes and recover all your momentum coming off the turn.
Full send!
Tank
More Ellen! ❤️
Support Hank💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hank has it!
I feel for Hank experiencing southern US weather. The week before this was shot, it was warm (as seen in the first Arkansas video he did). I was riding in shorts until suddenly temperatures were below freezing. I was at a really big gravel race in north TX this past weekend where it was 19 degrees F at the start (-7 C). Early next week, we should hit the 70s (21 C). It messes with you.
Mate those are absolutely disgusting changes! I'll take 40 - 50C heat waves in summer over a -7 - 21C change during winter.
@@evigvandrare He didn't even mention the fact that when we have 20-30c temp swings, which on the Texas high plains can be the difference between morning and afternoon of the same day, you get horrendous wind coming with it. Ever had your wheels taken from under you by a 70kph gust of wind shooting through neighborhood streets? There's a joke here that our windsocks are just chains pinned to a post.
Welcome to Mumbai, saw you yesterday at Gateway of India.
Looking forward to seeing you at the race Hank! Come on over to our OORC club tent… I’ll have some hot coffee.
5:21 and personally, it's my favorite part of the video :). Will try (I mean conscious balancing on the turns)
HUNT WHEELS! BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!
Great video and I hope you email Matt Stephens this video!
Seems Ellen healed well! She is awesome!
#GCN #GMBN I think it would be so cool to see Rich @payner25 give CX a try. He’s got the engine and superior bike handling skills. How about a fellow MTB’r making a splash in the roadie department!
loved the vid! Welcome to the warm USA Hank....
❤️🔥 ELLEN ❤️🔥
More Ellen Noble videos!
I agree
Finally cross content!!!
@1:07……that’s what my name decal looks like
This would be the perfect weekend to announce the new GCN-NA, that's GCN North America. No?
For steep inclines, plan the turn to minimize elevation gain. Try to use the hill to slow down rather than applying the brakes so much.
I was expecting Hank to wipe out when braking since in the US the front and rear brakes are usually reversed from their position in the UK.
British pro riders learn to ride on both set ups as in a race the spare bikes are generally set up continental-style.
@@nstrug Neat! I hadn't known nor considered that.
@@jaredlash5002 yep, on any world tour or pro conti team the majority of riders will ride conti style so the Brits, Irish and Ozzies just have to suck it up.
Pressure on the outside leg to prevent dropping. Maybe Ollie should take some notes here.
Hank is SO DAMN cold!
Using the rear brake only while going through the turn is something I never though of doing. Very handy for steep hairpins. Definitely better for holding more speed than just all or nothing approach.
It's something you learn to do, on a road bike, in a fast, tight turn, in the rain. It's no big deal if your back tire slides out, a little.
The front can throw you to the ground if you don't do it right. I think of the rear brake as acting like a parachute through a corner.
@@gamby16a I usually throw my weight back when using both brakes
@@billkallas1762 The chance of skidding seems scary but good to know that it might happen ahead of time
Who is here to hear the disc brake music? "RHEEEE REHEEE"
Song of our people.
Me watching the Cross-WC right now: Hey, I know this corner!
For you long time viewer of gcn it looks like Hank doesn’t have long left. Just like Stevens and Poole before him trying CX tens to be the breaking point for hosts. Hopefully Hank can break the trend!
Woohooo... next would be a challenge for Hank a Herculean one. A wildcard challenge for the worldcup🤪. There's already a bike named for him(check)...helmet(check)...uniform(check)...team gcn(check)...mechanic???mechanic???...aaawww I thought something is brewing for a worldchamp race here😔😭✌
17 degrees f is pretty cold, even for arkansas.
Ellen Noble could be a GCN regular presenter ....
Ellen Noble for presenter!
Is the name on tape a hack or a bodge?
I would have shown up if I would have known you were going to be in Arkansas. I'm in Texas FFS
Holy sh!t, gcn is uploading in 50fps now? 60fps is coming soon I hope
I want Ellen's jacket! #skratchlete
Im from Philippines
Your medal is in the post
Great video. I think Hank had to slow down when riding with Ellen
I'm just here to tell you that TH-cam's auto captions think you're here for the "world psycho cross championships" in fairness, not that far off the mark 😂
Where does this differ from cornering techniques on paved roads? Seems identical to me!?
I was thinking the same thing, and on reflection, do all of these techniques without consciously thinking about it - as I feel most people do.
Interesting, line choice and braking in a straight line are essentially the same in car racing. Of course, you can't use only your rear brake in a race car. 🙂
Deosn´t the Handbreak only afekt the rear wheels?
Rallycross drivers might disagree…
Hank comes off brakes, discs rub even more 😂
Heey
You know it's cold when they try to speak and their mouths don't cooperate.
🚲🚲❤️❤️👌👌🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
It's a squeakathon.
Yey im early
All great advice... until you are in the middle of 50 other people all trying to use the ideal line through the corner... then, it's a different scenario...
I wish i could afford a roadbike huhu
Buy a used 2010's bike for next to nothing, do the basic maintenance, enjoy.
'cross season: all fun and games until you stop moving and your fingers drop off
Until the barrier you bunnyhopped the first 3 laps just fine inexplicably got bigger on the 4th…
Her seat seems high
Inside hand pressure....really ?
I was a llittle confused by that. Could it be a way to coach understeering at low-moderate speeds where it can be tempting to directly turn the bars?
Edit: I meant countersteering!
Yes, it is called counter-steering and is necessary when riding faster than walking speed. You do it naturally and it is more apparent the faster you are moving. When turning left: push on the left handlebar, the front wheel turns right, then the bike leans left.
Countersteering - try it. Just push on the bar, maybe drop your shoulder a little and the bike will just carve nicely in that direction.
Eight wasted minutes.
