Good to see some new content! ... what's the best technique for riding fast through the flowy sweeping corners when standing? Especially in loose soft no berm single track? I weight the inside peg to lean the bike and then try and weight the outside but find I'll sometimes tuck the front if I have to much lean angle or under steer and come through to wide! Hope that makes sense! Cheers!
What you describe that you are doing is generally correct technique - inside peg weight to help initiate tipping into the corner, then transition to the outside peg with the majority of your weight distribution on the bike. If the front is tucking (like what happened to me at one point in this vid) it's either because 1. you are steering too "tight" and therefore the front is sliding on the inside edge of the trail surface/rut (your front isn't planted out on the more flat/banked part of the trail), or 2. you are not going fast enough to maintain the correct arc of the corner relative to the lean angle you have with the bike (which is a prime component of what causes the issue in point 1) therefore you start falling to the inside/tucking the front because you were forced to then steer tighter to get the correct correlation of speed versus lean angle, or 3. it is super skatey and the front tyre just can't gain enough traction/it passes the point of maximum traction co-efficient and thus starts to just wash out. This last point is usually caused by either just going too fast and/or putting too much weight/turning emphasis into the front tyre for this specific situation (and point of trail) whereas alternatively you should have set the positioning and attitude of the bike up so as by that point of the trail you were back on the gas and therefore sliding the rear tyre out somewhat (even marginally) which then forces you to place the front wheel into the counter-steer position to control the "slide" (no matter how minimal the slide is) which ultimately then eliminates any chance of the front wheel from ever tucking/washing out on you - it is impossible to tuck/wash out the front wheel if you are in the counter-steering rear wheel slide position when riding.. Hope that helps you out!!!
Fun watching. Never been out to this area. Less elevation so I imagine can ride out here a bit longer into the year? Any tips on jumping off the rollers?
Yep, you can pretty much ride this trail all winter long without issue. For the rollers make sure you know which direction the trail goes after each one if you're going to send it, ha!!! (unlike what I did!!) To actually launch off them you'll need quite a bit more entrance speed than it seems like is appropriate, then it's just a matter of adjusting the attitude of the bike (front to back) as necessary on the final portion of the up ramp (because you can't spot the angle of the down ramp/landing area) and while in the air....
@ thanks! I like the narration. The riding tips and little insights are helpful for those of us that didn’t grow up on 2 wheels. Glad I stumbled onto your channel!

That looks like a blast to ride. I'm used to tight technical woods in Minnesota. Will have to take a trip.
It's a whole different type of riding, but I guarantee you'd be stoked!!
Man. That's some awesome riding place. Thanks for the video
It's truly some amazing riding!

Get out there and get some!!!
I want to try this on the 890. Hard to tell how loose/steep/off camber it is from video though. Funny I call my daughter “nugget” as well.
Definitely give it a go, you'll have a blast - not loose, steep, or significantly off-camber, the 890 will be perfect for it!!!
Thanks mate, I’ve ridden it in AF up mud springs and Tibble so I was mostly concerned about the off-camber-ness.
Tibble and Mud Springs are more difficult than this trail.
