4th time riding my bike on a blind trail up in the local mountains I was in the zone absolutely flying and unintentionally roosted the shit out of a corner, no idea I had done it until all the mud came back down around and I front of me. Made me feel like a bro. Fast forward month I broke my rib riding....

[@mikeoclimberMTB]

If you really want to learn this, pump up your tires to 45 psi and learn to pump flat ground chainless in a parking lot or paved path. Once you can maintain your speed on flat ground without pedaling by pumping the bike when your drop the tire pressure down to 30 it is super easy. The g out and downward force compression while dumping the bike over is the most important part of it.

[@johnkenney7171]

loving blake's energy! if everyone did as much digging as they do moaning about the roost, there wouldn't be a problem

[@OzyMark]

But us diggers aren’t the ones roosting. Try it this way, if the roosters did the volunteer digging it wouldn’t be a problem.

ROOST !!! Never heard of it before but i find the word awsome !!!

*aggressive roosting noises* Thanks Blake made my day mate.

[@ryanrobin12]

I love Blake!!

[@tomwagner6334]

Incredibly talented rider. I can’t take anything away there but roost requires acceleration. You’re not accelerating other than your pump through the turn. Still a very valuable skill to have!

[@MO-ty7ds]

The wraaap noise makes it so much better tho 🤔

[@MTBTrailRider]

How/why is it easier with lower tire pressure? I would assume with the lower tire pressure you typically get more grip on the trail, no?

[@dylanw6843]

So low that the tyre folds

[@niklassvensson9119]

The tyer fold easyer with lower pressure... Ever riden with a flatt? Its constant drift as soon as you turn a littel.

[@MTBTrailRider]

Niklas Svensson - thanks. I guess I’ve had a hard time figuring it out because when I need more grip, I usually drop my tire pressure and my tires grab the dirt better... 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe because the dirt isn’t as dry??

[@niklassvensson9119]

@@MTBTrailRider Its becose when you turn the force is presing the tyer sideways, so to a point you have more gripp, but when it folds you are on the rim/sidewalls. For brakeing/climbing less air = more gripp. For turns its only true upp to a point and depends on the dirt and trail. Try do turn with no air or only 5-10psi and you will see what i mean ;) Dry just make the roost look more cool and makes it a bitt easyer when its loose. Same as riding in mud, but without the wetnes.. :P

[@christianmichael1970]

I think he said "dont" lower the tire pressure as its cheating, its harder and more impressive to do at 30psi. (higher pressure)

[@ivosekzaplet8610]

Funny as usual and usefull as well thanx Master Blake S

[@flolfo6235]

Less than 30psi is not cheating ! It's simply the good pressure....

[@teambailalot8468]

Can you do a roost vs normal cornering speed test? Seen so many good corners knackered from roosting - wonder if it’s quicker enough to be worth it!

[@pbakai182]

I'm pretty sure 'roosting' or drifting will almost always be slower on a MTB, whereas professional rally cars will get a faster stage time from it (car much heavier than bike!) Drifting on a bike is merely for the fun aspect. Even though it destroys the track over time.

[@MentalRetard74]

Slower

[@andrewupshaw8521]

Finally makes sense

[@downhillnistrix2843]

Awsome...Waiting for this video so long thanks GMBN now I learned how to roost...

[@timquain5341]

I've been trying to roost for I'd say at least 5 years. My rear wheel will just not lose traction. The only way I have gotten close is by jumping my weight off the rear wheel and jumping/skimming my rear wheel to the side. I find this technique easier on the flat but impossible on berms. I know it is wrong. I've tried the technique described in this video but I just turn and my rear wheel follows :'(

[@bensun432]

Perfect again!

[@neeooww]

Nice roosts are epic

[@neilcheshire5726]

Just what I wanted the learn. Thanks Blake!

[@ajiljith2776]

One sure fire way to prematurely degrade the trails

[@brentmoseley3176]

[@TheLoamCourierMTB]

It’s not like at this time of the year the trails aren’t getting absolutely hammered by all the shite weather and the masses of people riding while it’s in wet/sloppy conditions anyway, someone skidding into a corner isn’t anything worse than what already gets done.

[@dominicosman2621]

Hell Ye Blake love the vids keep it awesome

[@melwalshmtb9121]

How I imagine it is like whipping a jump but your on the floor. You can even do it on flat ground without a berm

[@Tj-hw2ql]

It's nothing like a whip

[@captaintraction4024]

A whip you are typically upright, and you can land sideways (kinda) A roost, you are very much so sideways, and pushing your rear tire beyond its limit. It is much more scary

[@Alexbeauchesne1]

Kicking out the wheel on flat ground is not exactly like roosting. When kicking out on flat, you want to be light on the back wheel and push the bike sideways with your hips. When roosting, you put all your power downwards, through the pedals (not really sideways) Since the bike is leant over, you break traction and the back end drifts. Without a berm, roosting will inevitably send you to the ground with massive road rash.

[@thecount1001]

on the floor? do you ride indoors?

[@pradeep5965]

you are awesome....

[@mr.d7429]

The song in the background says “bom dia”?? If so, bom dia to you!

[@gerrygadget]

Looks fun but doesn't it ruin the trail over time?

[@willmorrison8595]

a few roosts here and there will be fine and wont cause major damage

[@irrelevantswine3697]

That’s someone else’s problem
