Have you ever filmed your riding to improve your techniques? Let us know in the comments 👇

[@daviddobovsek]

No, but I need to do it tomorow.

[@ugoilgabbiano6882]

I did...I hit the section feeling like a hero, but when I looked at the footage i only saw a lumpy giraffe trying to squeeze between two trees... Wrong footage maybe... Or hard reality

[@moritztalan1744]

Yes,on a jump where I thought 💭 I was jumping 2 m high But I was only jumping a little bit more than 1 m high

[@UdyGraphie]

Yes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqjcnnadqNGInNE

[@Madisonlovesmakeup35]

you bet

[@CraftingMuffin]

Had some pretty rough crashes while cornering recently, hopefully this will help me improve. Thanks guys!

[@axisludi]

Love the dog running after you

[@ty.process]

My goodness, this video is phenomenal! All these tips are absolutely perfect including the feeling of frustration when corners aren't quite dialed. Really appreciated tip about proper weight distribution, being 6'6" and 240 pounds, I have a lot of weight to get in the right place! Thanks guys!

[@gmbn]

Awesome Ty, glad these are helpful!

[@mariasusanaaraya3674]

GMBN you are the best teachers ever. Thank you

[@solmackay]

I've never thought that I'd need to film myself - but i think it could help me out when i seem to be hanging off the back too much

[@franzfranky]

„also, take a look at your suspension!“ I have no real suspension... just 100 in the front! This is life on the limit! 😁

[@GDoggProductions]

love this knowledge!!! thnak you so much XD.

[@alanmactavish]

Awesome as always Neil, simple fixes I'll be working on! I hope I can 'bring da ruckus' to those loose corners as well as you!

[@daviddobovsek]

2:39 that dog on the right.🐕 Is this dog Neil's?

[@rbid]

Thanks Neil, very productive video. Greetings from the Galilee.

[@andymtb3212]

Yes, I learned the power of filming your technique from motocross back in the 90’s

[@vitaly8170]

Great video! Also the first youtuber I see to show the correct spot where the next video is going to show up on the screen))

[@icewallowcum856]

Sick edit! Keep it up guys! cheers

[@nickwatkins5227]

All clear ground control.

[@leomau3667]

Loved the starting editing

[@dylanvanssunshxybs6591]

Fantastic video

[@5492sparky]

Excellent tutorial.

[@slaygaming8240]

Thanks for your tips❤️

[@blkfld7850]

Much of these principals are the same for motorcycles as well. Having ridden motorcycles for years, I feel like I should have the majority of these down. (Beginner here)

[@akmalvlog6587]

Yessss new vid is upppp boiii!!!

[@mitchwarren1600]

2 minutes in the bike park bent my back wheel !! World record!!!!

[@chrisl.6158]

Very helpful. Thanks, GMBN! :-)

[@BikingVikingMTB]

Neil n therest of the gang AMAZING .! Great vid, great knowledge , all the time in the world to give advice. All you need to do now is offer me a two month riding course from basic to advanced riding with you guys then I’ll be the best rider I will ever be haha - Thanks keep up the good work! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻😎

[@gmbn]

Hmm, not a bad idea!

[@robertbenassai3912]

Can you make a video on how to corner tight corners?

[@bizzehdee]

My main reason is cornering, but not stability, its speed... Im still very bad at judging speed around a corner and always end up going over the top of the corner and landing in a bush :D

[@gmbn]

Try sessioning one corner over and over. Trying different techniques and less braking each time.

[@UdyGraphie]

Thanks!

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

2:37 a dog! That's a super nice! ;-p

[@hyw079]

Do you drop your inside foot? I was taught to keep pedals level, but it feels better to me when I drop my inside foot. What's the proper way?

[@gmbn]

That really depends the corner. Flat corners usually need you to drop your foot, but many berms are best ridden with pedals flat.

[@lisapet160]

Could you make a turning video at last? Not much corners where I ride, but plenty turns.

[@vincenzogrosso1324]

I’m to busy actually watching this video instead of worrying about getting the first comment once again great job guys 👍

[@gmbn]

A step in the right direction!

[@oscarsands1237]

I just got a new jump bike 7 days ago but went over the handle bars today and snapped Mr collar bone😴😫👌🤘

[@gmbn]

Sorry to hear it, Oscar Sands! These things can happen. Hope you heal up quick and get back on the bike!

[@HaloLegendZz]

This advice would have been useful 2 weeks ago, when I fractured my radius 👎🏼😂

[@ericlemieux6617]

Can you do one on foot placement for flats to aid cornering or other aspects

[@joshlansbury505]

1st thank you this will really help on the trail

[@darksnow2036]

Please do more hack and boges vidios

[@LuisSierra42]

YAAAS

[@migatron1]

What stem are you running Neil ??? Looks pretty sick

[@matiasuhrenholt4299]

2:40 TRAIL DOGGG!!!!!!

[@brianbisio3421]

Great job with your channel guys! may i ask you if you have any trick to force your body forward on the bike? I find myself to have my body weight always in the back of the bike, loosing grip on my front-end. For instance this doesn't happen when I use a smaller bike and i am forced in the middle - front of the bike. Thank you!

[@ag_by857]

What to do if you are in the corner and realized your speed is too high. You have half second to make decision to press brakes or do strong turn with your bar. I was in that situation few times. What is better choice?? (great channel btw )

[@lisapet160]

rear brake?

[@gmbn]

Really hard to say... Both choices could work, though, but both could also lead to a loss of control. Sometimes grabbing the rear brake can make your rear slide and put you in the right line, but sometimes you just have to commit and turn hard!

[@FhargaZ]

After my injury 1 month ago i am not sure about what i did wrong. It was muddy, downhill, i take out my foot and suddenly it stucked and then my foot was pointing outside = broken fibula and the end part of the tibia. Maybe the way to go was just to get out of the bike when it felt loose. Seeing videos everyone takes out the foot but maybe is the angle or just not stick it in rock 😑 What do you about your foot when going through a corner or in a slippery terrain?

[@clarkpark]

How are you doing Neil?

[@Maloud24]

whose that dog at 2:37?

[@gmbn]

🤷‍♂️

[@makafuniruni]

@@gmbn It's a Border terrier :) Got one myself. Best dog ever!

[@cdabcdefg12345]

This is your 16th video on cornering!!!!!

[@gmbn]

Thanks for counting!

[@danigolea8915]

hi, i have a question...and a problem : i can't corner or do things on my right side... just on my left side... eg: when i drift my bike i can do it just on left side and when i try my right side it just don't want to drift.... what should i do ??

[@snarkyboojum]

Not too shabby :)

[@AltitudeAerials]

Nice tips! Do all brits remove the G from words endin’ in G (cornering=cornerin, braking=brakin, etc) ?

[@gmbn]

There's quite a few British accents, and we definitely don't cover the lot on GMBN

[@razak4307]

Anyone know what bike Neil is riding in this video?

[@pawewielgus2105]

#askgmbn if you turn and both wheels are loosing grip and your outside pedal is low and your heel is as low as possible and you mussels bike down - is this all you can do to maximize the speed in corner? i’m doing same corner every day (commuting) and i’m wondering if i can do it any faster.

[@csidriss4948]

Thanks for the tips Does it make any difference if you push the external pedal, or just balance your weight in both pedals

[@gmbn]

It depends the corner, really, and the bike has.

[@leebunn1379]

If my front wheel washes out when cornering, is it because my weight is to far back and making the front to light or to far forward making it heavy and pushing it out? If in doubt flat out ended badly for me 8months ago haha.

[@gmbn]

It's hard to say, but sounds like you could benefit from some filming and observing what you're doing.

[@hvheerden]

What does "...hang off the inside" mean?

[@nathanle4429]

#askgmbn Hi Neil, I have clipless set for my pedals, it's always super freaky to drift with them having to unclip into a corner while initiating a drift. Are there ways to drift without having to dab or put your foot down?

[@Flyers2929]

Neil, What about steep switchbacks with and without berms. I raced an enduro over the weekend and one of my biggest problems was running wide because of my braking in the turn but i felt like if i release i would have too much speed. Any tips?

[@graemehill9910]

Brandong13 brake before the turn? Might be answer keep suspension and geometry at best around the corner either that or turn in harder always more grip than you think. Try the drift test around a corner and see how much grip your tyres have at limits just prepare for a small off....

[@DIVYESHEDITS150]

My weight 23 I am old 14 years

[@bvcoyle3903]

What trail are you at?

[@jdmurbansus4945]

I have a problem. I can manual but i cant do a bunny hop. The only way i can lift the rear wheel is with my feet/legs. Can the problem also be that my frame is too big im 175cm and frame is XL. Any tips/suggestions?

[@packs8352]

JDM Urbansus when your in the manual, just jump up then push your bars out to level it out, it won’t be amazing but it will be a start

[@gmbn]

The big bike could be an issue. Try with a smaller bike and see how it goes.

[@MattH198]

#askgmbn hey Blake. I’m looking to get into slopestyle what’s a good budget bike to get.

[@gmbn]

If you're on a budget, you can look at a dirt jump bike to get started.

[@flyingseagull8806]

Can you drift with cleats?

[@burdazza4673]

Does it count if you can drift on a motorcycle

[@gmbn]

Probably

[@panipu]

Chroma Key strong in this one

[@OutdoorBiology]

#askgmbn with what wheel do I land on when I am going off a drop? Front of back?

[@gmbn]

Hey Agan Urud, you should try land with both wheels at the same time if you can. If not, then the back wheels first is usually better.

[@OutdoorBiology]

Ok thanks going to practice it on the trail thanks 👍👍

[@g405t]

is that a 29er or a 26er which is preferred?

[@gmbn]

Neil is riding a 27.5", but any wheel size is good. Nothing wrong with 26" or 29", as long as the bike is good.

[@g405t]

I been out of the loop did not know 26 is not as common anymore...

[@Erik_R]

Its like the 100th Vid. to this topic. xD

[@gmbn]

Well now, let's not get carried away. Another viewer said 16... That sounds a bit closer!

[@Erik_R]

[@dropclutch1]

Gmbn has already covered pretty much everything so I don't criticize them for putting out duplicate content a couple years later. We all can use a refresher once in a while.
