Staring down a steep gnarly slope can really get the adrenalin pumping. Here are some tips for staying cool and in control to to ride steep descents and downhills on an enduro bike. Everything in extreme enduro terrain throws you off balance, so balancing lays a strong foundation for enduro skills. Trials riders can balance at a stand still for as long as they like, even with no hands on the bars. Cross training has a strong focus on being able to balance on your enduro bike. As mentioned in Body Positioning, on steep descents you will be standing on the footpegs. As the descents get steeper, put some of your balancing practice into action and go as slow as possible - this will be very handy when it gets very steep! Losing traction is a no no in trials riding and riders work hard to ensure their tyres don't slip. Wheelspin and slides look great but in many cases for enduro riding but it simply means you are losing full control of your dirt bike. There are times it can be handy to lock the rear wheel up. Read the terrain ahead on descents and downhills and don't fixate on any nasty bits or you'll just ride into them. Clutch control, body positioning and balance are key skills in trials, and watching top trials riders is great. Often you can let the bike build up speed when it gets very steep.
There does come a point where the descent is so steep you begin thinking of upgrading your life insurance. A key part of moves like this is the use of body positioning and weighting. An enduro bike is heavier but these skills still play a major part in getting through extreme enduro terrain. Cross training means you usually stand on the pegs of your dirt bike and learn to use your body weight and positioning to maximum benefit to apply trials skills to your dirt bike technique.
