- 15 years of full-time coaching taught me: Details DO matter to get from fear to confidence! In this mountain bike riding technique video I share: How to avoid going over the bars in gnar, explain the main cause for the front wheel washing out in corners, and give hands on tips on how to REALLY take your control and confidence on technical trails to the next level. I also address why most riders (and even coaches) ignore the skills that REALLY matter to ride technical trails and you'll get pro braking tips.

BEFORE commenting that my video is sexist, READ THIS COMMENT - it also includes the links mentioned in the video above:
Am I saying all men steal? NO!
Am I saying only men steal? NO!
Am I saying women are better? NO!
All I’m saying is: until now, only men have stolen from me.
Though I’m sure many of the concepts in this video are also “universally known”, and it's hard to say who is stealing what, because often concepts evolve and change with time - there is a FINE LINE between stealing and getting inspired. And if a concept is new, or an idea is copyrighted, like for example the foot wedge(c), then it is ethical to state the source of knowledge - that's why there are patents for inventions and copyright for intellectual property.
And the problem is - and that's why YES, this is a thing of genders, too, that often when a female coach says something (this has happened to me a LOT), then the idea is dismissed. But then, when the same idea is presented by a male coach, it's suddenly REVOLUTIONARY and everyone loves it.
So, yes, I stand by my opinion, because this is about being HEARD AS A WOMAN. And if someone called out women for something they usually do, and that is true, then I'd be absolutely fine with it, too. Not sexism either.
Exactly BECAUSE there is a lot of division I do believe that calling these things out and making people aware of it is important. I just want people to state the source of their knowledge, that's it. To give credit to the person who puts a LOT of work into driving change, bringing out new concepts, vs simply stealing ideas.
Thank you for watching and commenting - appreciate it a lot. Together we can make MTB skills safer and drive change.
Much love, be kind, Roxy

Creo q te haces un flaco favor insultando (aunque tu pienses que no y aunque a lo mejor no fuera tu intención) a los hombres de forma genérica y mezclándolo con el mtb.
Era necesario?
Una forma poco inteligente de perder/no ganar suscriptores.
Dicho lo anterior buen video. Para mi el último.
@@smp8154 lo siento. No era mi intención por nada. No entiendes por nada que para mí también es frustrante lo que escribí en el comentario 📌?
Your teaching is by far the best online. Thank you!
Oh, wow, thank you ever so much. Feel very honored to receive this comment. How are your trackstand skills? if you'd like to improve them, my free course will help - it's linked in the pinned comment. ☺️
Just out of interest, which part of this video did you find specifically helpful? The more I know the more I can help.
Pls come to Malaga and ride with us!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire I can trackstand forever. But the otb after wheel stop fear have limited me a lot. You covered this is a vid long time ago too. I can ride so much steper and techy now. I am in Malaga so we have about the same terrain.
@@nielsbaardseth Awesome. Well, then why don't we start working together on step 4 of the progress: refining?
If I come to Malaga I sure will be in touch!
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Refining, ok. How?
Also, I keep telling local.riders to watch your videos and telling new riders to practice braking. I never skid, ever. Not even in the steepest, most loose rocky terrain, because your videos really ingrained in me the important of entering sections of trail at the COREECT speed. Riding proactively instead of reactively. I've ridden quire a few brand new trails this year, and even though I had to walk a few short sections because I know I can't safely ride them (yet) I was always fully in control and felt extremely comfortable and safe. This is I think due to braking confidence. I know I can stay in control or even hop off my bike if needed so I'm very safe, if a somewhat slow & steady rider. Again, your videos are something I watch over and over and over again because as I get better on the trails, I find more understanding in your tutorials. You really are helping me to find flow and ENDLESS joy on my local trails. And I'm not crashing at all even though I'm constantly doing more difficult rides. I could just be lucky but I do think it's mostly due to my braking confidence.
❤ agree. That is EXACTLY what I mean with this video. Mastering the 2 skills in this video will level up your riding instantly - more than any other skill. ❤ thank you for sharing and WELL DONE for practicing 😍😍😍
I have shared your ideas in my videos, but I always give you credit for it. Heck, one of them is titled, "Roxy is right about the bunnyhop". If anyone decides to share your ideas, they absolutely need to give you credit for it. We are all in this together and I think you are one of the best MTB coaches out there.
THANK YOU - YOU are such a star, it is LOVELY to have people like you in the community. MUCH MUCH love, R 😍
and p.s. thank you so much for not taking my joke personal - I absolutely did not mean it in a sexist way, it's just that I was so frustrated with this happening so often (more info in the pinned comment), that I wanted to rant for once. You are a great example of a super amazing male coach putting his ego aside and bringing a great mindset - which positively inspires the entire scene 🩵
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire No offense here. It's an important topic to bring up. Far too many men don't respect a woman's opinion on many subjects they deem as male dominant.
So preach away!!! They need to hear it!
@@ShadHollandthank you. Unfortunately a few men were insulted, which was not my intention at all 😔😔😔

❤ Eure Kurse sind Gold wert und ich bin auch sehr froh darüber, dass ich nochmals am Fundament gearbeitet habe . Das hat mir so viel gebracht und jetzt geht es flott voran mit Kurvenkratzer und Versetzer und das alles in einem Jahr mit viel Üben. Danke Euch beiden. ❤
❤ danke dir. Deine Erfolge zu begleiten ist wunderbar! 😍😍 Wir sind gespannt, wo die Reise noch hingeht.
KARMA, Roxy DO NOT even think about anyone stealing your stuff. Bad on them, Great on you for sharing. That is how it works. Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks!!!
💞💞
Excellent lesson Roxy
unique thoughtful and insightful as always.
Thank you for revisiting OTB
and it wasn’t unspectacular or unsexy .
So impressive that it’s delivered in your second language!
aww, thank you so much. REALLY appreciate your thoughtful comment 😍
That was a fantastic lesson. Thanks, Roxie. Whenever I think you are the best MTB and life coach on TH-cam, you prove me right. Thank you for all you do.
❤❤ thank you Martin. So grateful for your support on so many levels 🥰😍
Thanks for letting me know I am on the right track!
THIS video is SO helpful. Thank you. The progress I made with your courses and feedback have been amazing and this video now explains why 😅
Thank you. I agree - your progress has been astounding and I'm grateful to be part of it.
You're the voice in my head now. I just want you to know how many rides I take you on here in Alberta Canada. I'm always asking myself, "what would Roxy say about this?" It actually really helps me and keeps me safe. Thank you so much for all your hard work to make and share these videos. We really appreciate it!!
❤ thank you so much for taking me along 😍🥰😍😍
Man nimmt immer etwas mit. Danke, Roxy du bist die Beste🎉
DANKE lieber Rainer 😍 Das freut mich mega, vor allem, dass ich einen wertschätzenden deutschen Kommentar bekomme 😍
I’ve been out all day doing a technical session with a coach, focused on enduro. All the things you say in this video has been told to me half a million times today.
Going to bookmark this video so that I can play it before going out again.
Happy to hear 😍😍 also the foot wedge?
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Sort of, but in different terms. I like your way of describing it better.
@@Limestream73 thank you so much. What was his term? I always love to learn.
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire He used the term "plant your feet". I have planted my feet a lot but they were still to level. The wedge and driving the wedge through the bottom bracket is a better mental image for me than just pushing down and getting the pedals weighted.
If I push mostly forward and backwards, I sort of "split" the bottom bracket. If I just push down on the pedals, I lift of the bike and it is harder to stay low. When combining those two, downwards and split, I create the wedge, and become stable and feel more comfortable leaning forward and staying forward. (Just my way of describing it and how it feels).
@@Limestream73 thanks. Yes, that’s why I asked. Planting and wedging are completely different 😊😊
I am inserting this here on the braking part. You are spot on about braking. One issue I see, especially with people who have smaller hands, is that they don't have the brakes and levers set up so they can easily reach the lever and use only one finger. What Roxy is describing here is extremely important, but you need to make sure your bike is properly set up for you and that the brakes work with less effort (some brakes require too hard of a pull to work well). This is so important that if you are serious about mountain biking and evolving as a rider, you will likely want to spend money to get the brakes and setup you need. I don't think very many people think about this enough, just like suspension setup, bar position and all that, the brakes are equally as important to have set up just right for you.
so true!
Whats funny is i instinctively knew this information already. Very informative. I wouldn't have been able to explain how you want to lower your center mass to absorb the bumps as clearly as you did. Very good video! I don't think anyone will steal your techniques. You posted this first. We all know it
Thank you ❤ it unfortunately already happened 😔
In the pinned comment I explain.
Lee will be happy....about the hinge.
the hinge is good, but I think its not the solution to every situation :D that being said Lee's tutorials have been instrumental for me :D
the hinge is super essential. I’ve been saying for years 😍 It's all about engaging the muscles that are made for long holds.
It sure isn’t the solution to every situation, absolutely true. The concepts I present in this video, once applied, will be for most situations in gnar though.
Great video, my wife recently started riding so I shared your channel with her as you explain it better than I ever could. Thanks for creating this content!
❤ thank you so much ❤
The dimmer switch analogy was genius .
It’s such a great lightbulb moment, isn’t it?
It’s taught in several instructor certifications - although I’d love to claim it, it’s not my idea 😊
Totally agree. Underexitimated skills for many.
For most I’d say ☺️☺️☺️
It all makes so much sense. I'll keep practicing!
Thank you Kim ❤ have fun and if you want personalized feedback, you know where to find me. An in case you want my Trackstand course for free, check the pinned comment ❤
Fully agree that body position and braking are critically important skills. But I would also add cornering.
the best cornering technique won't help if one of the other two are flawed....
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire of course! all three of these should be developed in order to ride well
@@finroddd there are several more skills that should be developed to ride well 😃
But none of them beat the importance of the two I share in this video, because they’re the foundation for all the others.
And about 80% of cornering well js already in these 2 skills.
Thank you Roxy!
thank you, Fiona 🩵
Thank You Roxy. I appreciate your time and effort on this. I do find everything you have put together on the skils fundamentals of immesurable help. My favourite coffee is a Cortado...please get yourself a cup of whatever is your favourite! ☕
Thank you so much 😍 So happy to hear. Cheers ☕️ - I love cortado, too 😍
I have really noticed your first point on body positioning. On steep stuff I tend to lean back to much and not have traction on my front for turns
it's super common. If you want to follow my simple, yet highly effective drills to turn this AHA into "muscle memory", get in touch.
Roxy, you rock!❤
THANK YOU sooo much, also for the coffee invite 😍
There's another important skill that you might have found too obvious to mention - keep momentum. Almost every OTB is preceded by the front wheel stalling. Often that's due to not having enough momentum to overcome a small obstacle. Maintaining momentum requires a combination of braking control, fluidity, confidence and concentration / focus / awareness.
Thank you ❤ that’s because I don’t believe momentum is the cause. It’s also a symptom for errors in one of the 2 mentioned skills. The front wheel doesn’t stall because the rider is too slow. 😊
I agree, there are circumstances when terrain just does not provide ideal wheel placement. An example of this a multiple step down rock garden and there are bomb holes between each level (ideally find another line to suite my speed). Using all of the 4 principles won’t allow you to roll passed the rock that is facing up. You can see this happen often when riders are sighting a tough DH track and riding it for the first time. Most of the advanced riders don’t roll the sections they look to float. I think float can only occur when apply all 4 principles and appropriate moment. Not trying to be critical as I’m always learning.
@@troymortimer3487 of course there are always exceptions to everything. Just saying, momentum won't help with this either - if the "hole" is too large, then you need to bunny hop it. But this is rarely the case for gnarly trails that are not on World Cup DH level 😊
👍👍👍 Wieder einmal ein super Video, dass klar macht, was wirklich wichtig ist.
Genau diese Erfahrung habe ich auch gemacht und seither versuche ich regelmäßig auf diese Punkte zu achten - und es hilft richtig viel.
Weiter so und vielen Dank dafür ❤
@@WolfgangPfalz Danke Wolfgang. Das freut uns sehr!
Ja, dem kann ich nur zustimmen. Auch wenn sich Roxy immer wieder wiederholt, es sind die wichtigsten Skills um sicher kontrolliert zu biken. Gerade heute bei Nässe, Matsch und nassem Laub sind das meine Anker für biken und ich fühle mich sicher. Man kann sich nicht oft genug daran erinnern. Danke liebe Roxy und Berni fürs Lehren. Liebe Grüße Christine
❤❤❤ danke dir liebe Christine fürs Annehmen und üben. Toll deine Fortschritte mit unseren Kursen zu begleiten 😍 es hat sich SO viel bei dir in der letzten Zeit getan 😍
Los consejos han sido de mucha ayuda, gracias.
Me alegro mucho. Gracias 😍🥰
Very clear. I struggle steering on steep corners. I think it’s a brake mod / bracing error
Thank you. Very possible 😊 I have a step by step cornering course: roxybike.podia.com/mountain-bike-cornering-course-how-to-ride-tight-corners-and-switchbacks
Let’s find out what’s ideal is for your body and bike. ❤
Amazing work princess
Thank you 🩵
Thx
I would say 3 skills, the other being balance , as it allows riders to use less speed in tec and have more much more control.
Agreed it’s also essential. However, when the two others are lacking, balance will be MUCH harder 😊 There are generally several more skills that I regard as essential, but they all build upon these two.
Excellent video with great content and very will articulated. Recently rode some double black tech in Squamish and Whistler and from experience I can say that braking and body position are absolutely the most important. Is there even anything else? Maybe trackstand as Roxy mentions in some of her other teaching. Maybe bike also, not bike performance, but bike size as a bike should not be too big, but maybe I am wrong. Thanks Roxy and hopefully see you on the trails in Spain in February or March.
Thank you Stephen. Oh yes, there are many more skills to make an excellent rider, but all of them build on these two and can’t make up for errors in these 2 skills 😊
Ultimately, learning to ride is like learning to walk. We were never taught to walk, run and jump, we just did it. The more we did it, the more we got better, and eventually we’re able to walk and chew gum at the same time. 😂. But yeah, walking running and jumping are just part of the human DNA, as opposed to biking.
AAAND you learn them as a kid. Our brain learns differently after the age of about 12 😊 Understanding and external feedback become more essential.
Thinking about index fingers being the most dexterous and middle fingers being the strongest, aside from making you more solidly locked to the bike, does keeping the middle fingers on the grips nearly eliminate sudden, strong braking at the worst times?
Very often, yes.
On flow sections I sometimes let go of the brake levers and just grip the bars. I feel more cornering control only focussing on my feet!
@@hallstewart oh I wouldn’t recommend that. What if something unforeseen happens?
Hallo Roxy, gibt es den Kurs, den du erwähnst (FUNdamentals Minikurs) auch auf Deutsch? Ich finde ihn nicht in meiner Übersicht auf deiner Plattform. Liebe Grüße, Dorothee
Ja, gibt es. In einer deutlich umfangreicheren Form mit mehr Feedback. Er heißt der NEUMACHER (für Einsteiger), FESTIGER (falls du bereits fortgeschritten bist), oder Best Ager - wenn du ü55 bist. Wenn du noch Fragen hast, gerne melden.
I need someone to mansplain this.
Or is it only "mansplaining" if they're explaining it to women? I don't really know how that works.
On gnar
1- Heavy feet
2 - Hip hinge
3 - Body suspension
4 - Light hands
Braking on steeps
1 - Both brakes, index finger
2 - Dimmer, not light switch
3 - Brace body through legs
4 - Heel drop is key
Is this meant to be funny?
@@garyking508thanks for the summary ❤
Grazie 👍🍻🤟🔝👍💐
❤❤
This is a good video. Thanks. One things I don't understand is why when you talk about the imperative... Your second voice is telling you that other "male" coach will still your idea. Why Male it is not appropriate in my opinion. We should be supportive between each other no matter the sex and not fighting because of it 😅.
Absolutely agree. Did you read the pinned comment? 😊😊😊
Love it..the male coaches..thiefs❤
Unfortunately until now - yes.
All women who used my content gave me (or my used original source) credit.
Many men who used mine, sold it as their own knowledge.
Am I saying all men are like that? NO!
I’m just sharing my experience with those who did.
Am I saying women would never do it? NO!
I’m just saying it hasn’t happened to me yet.

How does using clipless pedals impact the importance of heel drop? As heel drop seams to be about keeping your feet on the pedals, with clipless that's a given...
It isn't about keeping your foot on the pedal. It is about bracing to support you body do it doesn't shift forward.
@@AlliKat75 Thank you...
Maybe this podcast of mine will help:
th-cam.com/video/YOP4rwFp_WM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rTHiX85-XLjCbKi1
If I watch clips of excellent riders closely, noone uses the "pedal wedge". And honestly, it cannot work out. Imagine if you ride really rough terrain - all the impacts would have to be absorbed by the front leg, as the rear leg / foot would get pulled forward.
Sure the rear foot heel cannot drop as far as the front foot, but that is to expect due to the angle of the leg. But tipping the toes of the rear foot for a "wedge"? No, not really. That would upset the stance totally, especially if one has bigger feet.
@@geno____34 Then look closely - because unless they're bracing heavily for braking, they're sure all using the foot wedge most of the time. Not saying you need to tilt the rear foot entirely, but the ankle is usually at a 90 degree angle. Have you watched my foot wedge video?
Roxy, this is another great video from you. I do wish you would consider re-wording your comment about bad "male" TH-camrs who steal your content and profit from it. If you have an issue with a few competitors then you should call them out directly. But to specifically mention they are bad "males" is below you. Can you imagine if one of your competing instructors said a bad "female" was stealing from him? He would have war on his hands. I have seen much of what you talk about in this video in other prior videos from other instructors. That doesn't make you a content thief. I know I'll get roasted for this comment, or it will be deleted, but there is enough division in the world-we don't need it in our beloved MTB world. I will continue to like and subscribe and share your videos as I have for a long time. Thanks for taking a moment to listen to an apposing opinion.
Thank you for sharing it! I love discussing opposing beliefs, as this is what drives change and growth.
It's absolutely true, it's hard to say who is stealing what, because often concepts evolve and change with time - and that's exactly why I share a lot of my methodology although it takes me A LOT of work to develop it.
Yes, sure, a lot of what I share is also in line with what other coaches share - thankfully - because we can't reinvent physics.
Buuuuut it is a fact that there is a fine line between stealing and taking things as an inspiration. And if it is something new, or an idea that is copyrighted, like for example the foot wedge(c), then it is ethical to state the source of knowledge - that's why there are patents for inventions and copyright for intellectual property.
And the problem is - and that's why YES, this is a thing of genders, too, that often when a female coach says something (this has happened to me a LOT), then the idea is dismissed.
But then, when the same idea is presented by a male coach, it's suddenly REVOLUTIONARY and everyone loves it.
So, yes, I stand by my opinion, because this is about gender equality. If someone called out women for something they do, and that is true, then I'd be absolutely fine with it, too.
Exactly BECAUSE there is a lot of division I do believe that calling these things out and making people aware of it is important. I just want people to state the source of their knowledge, that's it. To give credit to the person who puts a LOT of work into driving change, vs simply stealing ideas. Does that explain?
Thank you for sharing and liking, appreciate it a lot. Together we can make MTB skills safer and drive change.
Much love, R
p.s. I don't delete comments - unless they are straight out insulting with no value whatsoever for the community. I think that has happened like 2-3 times in the 4 years I've been doing this. 😊
I believe that ever person gifting me their most precious asset (time) deserves an answer. Although I have received a bunch of pretty rude comments over the years 😅, but I just let them there for other unhappy people to like and give my posts reach
(unfortunately, I have to admit, all of these rude comments came from from men - so this is just me sharing my empirical experience - and yes, I know there are THOUSANDS of respectful and lovely men out there and also rude women)
@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire it's nice to be able to have a mutually respectful conversation even though we may not agree on everything. I still don't feel like this should be a gender issue but you have every right to express your opinion and I respect that. I don't know anything about mountain bike coaching but I definitely understand where you're coming from as far as a business standpoint. I have experienced people taking or borrowing my ideas without asking and I didn't like it either. Thanks again for a good conversation and I appreciate all you do for our great sport.
@@FloridaE-bikeAdventuresthank you ❤ I like the idea of borrowing. I just think - as you say - there is enough diversity in the world and it would be so great to get more support in this industry, especially as a minority, which we women are.
And it’s frustrating to be kept small and not taken seriously, simply because I’m a woman - and yes, this happens a lot.
All I shared with this is my personal experience - it has happened several times already, and these people were always men.
Am I saying only men will do this? NO!
Am I saying all men are like that? Heck no!!
I just shared my experience and wanted to give those dudes a heads up.
Sorry if it came across in a wrong way and THANK you for addressing it 😍😍😍
Imagine if I made a video and implied that "a woman is going to steel my video" while trying to teach people how to get better. Very petty Roxy.
I would totally understand your feelings if this had been done to you exclusively by women before.
And that’s all I’m saying.
All women who used my content gave me or the original source credit.
Many men who used mine, sold it as their own knowledge.
Am I saying all men are like that? NO!
I’m just sharing my experience with those who did.
Am I saying women would never do it? NO!
I’m just saying it hasn’t happened to me yet.
WHAT?? A MALE coach will steal this idea? So only men steal? Is that what you’re saying?
WTF??🤯
Dont get hung up on this too much. She probably made such 'comment' based on usual happening practice or recent events. Coaching is saturated with dudes.
@@SergejGrabun bullshit. who cares if it's saturated with dudes. No reason to be a sexist, but here we are.
Nope, not saying only men steal. But I’m saying until now, only men have stolen from me.
Am I saying all men steal? NO!
Am I saying only men steal? NO!
Am I saying women are better? NO!
I’m just saying that my experience shows that until now only men have stolen from me without quoting.
Though I’m sure many of the concepts in this video are also “universally known”, and it's hard to say who is stealing what, because often concepts evolve and change with time - and that's exactly why I share a lot of my methodology although it takes me A LOT of work to develop it.

@@STLMTBplease read my comment above.
How are you supposed to be 100% weighted through the feet when riding steep tracks? that's literally impossible
It actually is very possible 😊
When you’re bracing your weight through the feet with the foot wedge (c) and allow the bike to move into the steep, you’re still balanced over the bottom bracket. Of course there are exceptions to almost any rule - but overall, as the cranks are free to rotate if you’d stay planted through the feet and allow the bike to move, you can stay 100% weighted through the feet.
Yes if you ADD braking, then some of the weight will be transferred, but still you shouldn’t be bracing your body weight with your hands.
If you watch my other videos about this topic, especially the one linked in the end and the second one linked below this one, it should click 😊
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire They can't be very steep tracks then
@@benjy288why not?
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Because on steep tracks you're going to have weight on your bars, you can't keep your upper body back over the rear wheel only using your feet when riding steep double blacks.
