Cuttie, Shralp, Roost | MTB's Ultimate Guilty Pleasure & How To Do It

Are you a fan of the 'Cuttie'? What is your favourite thing to do to spice up the trail? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Coming from the transition to BMX in the mid to late 70s, this was called a kickout. If done with wheel off the ground you could kick aluminum pop cans off the road, or really smash a steel trash can (...oops....delinquents). If done with the ground slide, it was effective for kicking up dirt or dust onto someone. Lifting the back wheel was the first training step into bunny hops, so this kick out move was the easiest trick to perform with the new found skill. It felt like a whole new world of street tricks when we came from wheelies on stingrays and 10-speeds with curled handlebars.

But what is it for? What does it achieve?

[@lozetchells9164]

I find that Scottish mud, worn tyres and sheer incompetence work best for me

[@benlisle7623]

Just a lack of skill works for me!😂

[@Palios33]

Best friends with high sides?

[@i-Mac85]

High 5 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@trollaphobic]

I too am the best at this type of kick out technique (i have never intentionally tried it)

[@Jbourbz]

I resonate with the worn tires and sheer incompetence bit

[@JoeCincotta307]

Always a thumbs up for Blake!

This man has been definetly an imaginary riding buddy in my last 3 yrs of my life ! I think there is nobody i'd love to meet more than Blake once in life. Immensely thanks for everything ❤

[@jasonclement6305]

When I was learning this I was allowing my trunk to bend when i pushed my hips out.. preventing the horizontal movement from transferring to the bike. Keep your trunk rigid.

[@augmented2nd666]

Its crazy that I learnt this and then some on cement skateparks on a brakeless bmx. When it comes to which direction feels more comfortable, typically its your forward foot's side, as its also the natural way you would typically spin a bike. You are also applying slight pedal pressure inwards on the bike, some people even let their backfoots heel touch the frame a bit, and their toe pressing on the crankarm. I remember a fun one is getting it to do a 180 to fakie without actually leaving the ground. Helps to have harder tires, and is probably not advisable on tubeless setups with low PSI where the tire can end up burping off the rim and get your gross fluids all over the trail which prolly isnt environmentally friendly (such a stupid feature of tubeless, I prefer tubes). I roost where I can on the MTB, but its not a great time of year for it right now, mud is really grippy and if you do happen to slide, your goin on the ground, wood and roots are a deathtrap right now here in BC, Canada.

[@lawrencegoodwin2931]

Blake, you are a master of sound effects 😊

[@mathieuaudet9584]

Hell yeah mate!!! Thanks Blake (and your team) for sharing this crazy cool technique with us!! Great video as always with detailed explanation!!! Keep up those awesome vids brother! Cheers!

[@gmbn]

Will do! What do you want to see next?

[@coreycanuck1315]

Great video! Thank you Blake for your expertise and expertise behind the camera and editing!!

[@ManmadeM0nster]

Blake makes me smile.

[@NotionMTB]

Solid tips there Blake, thanks mate! 🫡

[@JeffMTBinVA]

Where have you been Blake? Seems you haven't been in a lot of videos lately. Welcome back you beautiful people always puts a smile on my face 🙂

[@the1mtbguy]

The rear braking loose is normal for me , normally ending up in me on the deck 😂 top video il put this into practice

[@KP-ol3tc]

We need MoiMoi behind the camera for this one! 😂 SHRAAAAALP IIIIIIT!!!

[@haon400]

i love Blake´s Videos gret man 🙂 go on

[@herbbert82]

4:49 did he get a stroke there?

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

The power is immense as a kid when you realise you can skid without braking, god like 😎

[@FGIRAFFE]

Ok I'll try. Thank you for the video

[@jackmcandle6955]

If Im not mistaken it is looks like you plumb the head tube side angle a bit to get it to come around easier ?

[@miyui9269]

remember if you have an entry level wheelset, doing this will give you a reason to upgrade to a new one.

[@flowstateofmind]

I missed when you mentioned how it sounds exacly, what was it like? Can you say that again?

[@newchel]

Nice learning

[@gmbn]

Nice learning to you too!

[@thesquirrel082190]

these are not cutties, its more like the unweighted skid you do when setting up for a Scandi flick. a proper cuttie you end up introducing more lean to the bike as the rear breaks loose, not less. this also increases the grip in the rear tire, despite the fact that it is still sliding

[@PhuNguyen-jy8wq]

nice, i love it ❤

[@sakygen]

Skip to 5:00-5:10 for the shortcut on how to do it

[@eziola]

Can you do another on where/how to practice and get a lot of reps?

[@eziola]

More Cuttie videos please

[@johnlopez4089]

This is something you should do out of necessity not as fun unless you like constantly truing your rim.

[@qualm43]

I do this on my roadie every time I see dust on the road. feels SICK.

[@robbogreen13]

Weld ya diff and kick your clutch

[@WillsW-c5s]

Propain the new sponsor then?😂

[@chickenclips]

best place to use this trick is on freshly built berms at your local bike park

[@unclebenz86]

So this is entirely the opposite of doing it in berms?

[@casestudymtb]

Is this the first step in a scandi?

[@DevinDeVore]

A little but with a scandi your on the brakes a little. Body position totally different with a scandi. More centered and low using legs more than throwing hips like Blake is showing. Scandi more stirring the whip setup into corner.

[@chickenclips]

you kept pulling your back brake when you said don't use your front brake lol

Wish i could ride it is rain non stop here.

[@andthefunkybunch1466]

Rrrrrrrrrr-atta-tatatata-ta!!!

[@Chainsnsprockets402]

The flex of the wheel is cringe 😬. Crazy how much flex they can take without bending.

[@LaurentiusTriarius]

That's probably the only reason why I'd want to film myself, I can feel it but seeing it is much more impressive 🙈

[@KevinT3141]

Tell me you hate the trail builder without telling me you hate the trail builder. :)

[@bjornjohansson1716]

We need a video on fatbikes climbing abilities, find the limits off trail

[@TheBlackRaven88]

Ratatatatata rhrrr🙂🙈

[@Mtblewis1]

I saw your brother

[@CarbonToe]

No. Just No….unless you are the one maintaining the trail this is one of the worst fashion fads. Stop promoting it.
