@Rich/GMBN, If someone can't manual in a flat car park, would you say a pump track was an easier place to learn?🤔 Just askin' for a friend!😂

In the beginning, he rides it stiff like a roadie. At the end, he easily flows around. Great progress!

Thank you! Rich is a mega teacher.. professor of the berm I now call him. Good fun learning how to ride these, can't wait to get down again! Cheers for watching, Conor

Conor's improvement was visible by the end of the video. He might like to think about what body position he gets into on a road bike when on the drops descending and cornering - it's a similar body position to what you need when riding the berms on a pump track or trail...

Around the 4:00 mark, another reason why the front wheel gets wobbly going over a bump is the contact point on the tire is higher up than usual, pushing the rest of the wheel to suddenly want to go sideways. So, hold the handlebars steady as you go over the ridges.

Well done Conor. I have to say I think I know what Conor meant about "easy". I find it very easy to initiate a manual on a roller, the hard part is committing to holding it.
@conordunne2194 ай бұрын
Thanks Matt!! Too right, feels like it could be simple to raise the wheel but oh so hard to keep it there coming down !

Love these cross channel videos. I'm a MTBer at heart, but I also really like watching these guys over at GCN, because I also do some flatbar gravel riding and they do some great videos there as well.

For me, going around the berm isn't always about the line, but the commitment. It's not just that you have to lean, but your brain has to be okay with you going almost parallel to the ground, depending on how steep the berm is. This is NOT a natural feeling. I can pep talk myself all I want, but if the speed isn't just right, my immediate reflex, no matter how much I say not to do it, is to try and stand up, which then loses grip as the bike is on the side knobs and I end up sliding down. Going lower feels alright, until you go too fast and get shot out the top, which I also have experience with. Also, my local pump track has a straight away to get speed going into a big berm, but some have suggested that it may not be the way I turn. However, going the other way puts me through a lot of tight berms, which are not easy to get speed on. 🤷🏻♂️ I haven't been in a while as I've found some trails closer to me to ride. But I might give it a try since it's been raining. The pump track should dry up before the trails do.

I got my first MTB when I hit grade 9, It was a size small giant hardtail. It is heavy, but bulletproof. I grew to 6'4", and kept riding it as it outlasted another bike I bought. I took it to a pumptrack and was basically a BMX under me. I did...not do super well lol. I need to get myself a new MTB, I've been riding a road race bike and idiotically taking it on on some serious gravel to fill the void lost.

Hahaha, Connor clearly didn't skateboard, or ride bikes as a kid. These you do naturally as a kid, the higher the berm the better.

I actually did skateboard and still do ! Rather poorly though haha... but enjoy dropping in and pumping around. Just a different feeling being so used to riding road bikes and moving the bike in a way I'm not used to.. fun learning tho! thanks for watching Conor

Why are roadies so good at learning MTB? Have ever they considered switch between disciplines? 🤔
