I've had four concussion, one that was pretty horrible so my balance it utter crap. However, I keep working on my trackstands and my ratcheting and my tiny circles. And even with my lack of balance, it's made me a 100 times better than I was before. Trackstands are incredibly underrated in my humble opinion. If they can improve my riding, I think they could improve anyone's riding!
Jeff: Superb demonstration and coaching/teaching on the rear wheel lift to reposition it. I'd always tried that w/o using the front brake. Now I know you need to use it and also start the rotation before leaving the ground. Thanks!
Nobody give this comphrehensive and detailed tip in any channel ,easy to follow just need time and a lot of hours to practice thank you for all you do in the biking community!😀👍👍
Hey Jeff, really good video, very clear instruction on what/how to do 👍 Gona mention one thing, think you need to throw links to your sponsors products you use down in the video description, would help those interested check out whatever parts they see and like that you're using - had to go search a bit to find the Agarro tyres, they look quite interesting.
Skinnies is the only thing I'm really good at. Unsurprisingly it's also the only thing I practice every ride. Usually a 5 minute track stand and then at least one or two laps of a long curved curb. I'd go farther than not looking down at the front wheel, look at the horizon instead. Your brain knows where your tires are, you actually don't need to see them.
Thank you very much for the info and ideas on how to practice! Watching you ride I know it can be useful. Especially on some of my favorite trails I ride
I deleted my ridiculous comment.. it's your fault Jeff, for those funny short vids you made a while back. Anyway, this is a helpful tutorial. Thanks! 👍
That design isn’t perfect but learning drops going slow is definitely the best plan. Start small and slow. Dial in that technique. As you go bigger and increase speed you just need to do less. It’s always easier to learn going slow which requires the most amount of technique and then dial it back vs going fast and then trying to figure out how to do more when a drop requires slow speed. Make sense?
It looks like you often brake with your 2 fingers, mostly when you are holding your bike with one hand. Is it just an impression or what ? Anyway thanks for valuable tips.
That is SOOOO WEIRD!! I never noticed that. That's absolutely something I must be doing when I stand and talk because definitely don't do it on the trail!
MAN….. who has the time to spend “10,000 F-ing HOURS PRACTICING TRACK???!!!! If that what it takes better to bypass the skinning and enjoy mountain biking…then go home and do stuff ya need to do for you & yours.

You're bloody good at this mountain biking caper. Nice work. 👍
Best breakdown of track stands I've seen! Thanks!!
Wow thanks!
Another best of the internet videos! When you got massive skills you can make videos like this. Great job!
A cut to the chase master class from a master! Thank you!
Excellent demo and explanations Jeff! "10K hours"... sounds about right. When the trails are too wet/muddy to ride
I'm going home to Jersey for my bday and I'm going to miss you at mountain Creek by 3 days :( you're a legend!
Awesome stuff....no, IT'S AWESOME-ORAMA! Thanks a million!

Thanks for the tips! Love the spokes on your wheelset, by-the-way.
Just discovered your channel. Your videos are so helpful ! Big thanks from the kids and myself !
Thx a lot - really helpful to break it down to different drills.
Awesome information! Thanks

Excellent share
Thanks for your videos Jeff. Big fan. I learn so much watching your videos. You are a legend.
Thank you! Share them with your friends!
Absolutely. Do you ever come ride in Pittsburgh? Would love to attend your training camp but can't find any close enough.
That C-wall dude. More trials riders need to become trail designers/builders.

great tips as always - love the channel!
Thanks!
Thanks
I had some shorts, back in the 80's, that looked like Jeff's bike.
Mission accomplished
Thank you very much for the info and ideas on how to practice! Watching you ride I know it can be useful. Especially on some of my favorite trails I ride
Awesome!! Thanks for checking it out!
Is there an alternative to the back pedal move on an eMTB? Great video by the way.
Very helpful! Thanks
Excellent. Thank you
Excellent video

Thanks for checking it out Manny!
why does Mt. Creek have you turn right before the skinny progression drops? I wish there was more of a straight away into the skinny drops.

I dont want to have to do so much work. How about just showing us how to be an expert from the getgo !
And I will still suck.

Lol. Fair.
