How To Improve Your MTB Cornering: Riding Steep Corners

[@gmbn]

How are your skills with steep corners? What area do you think you could improve on most?

[@Coolcmsc]

Committing into a steep turn with a bit of a drop half way round it (plus it’s inevitable following ‘hole’ inviting otb’s) is what intimidates me. In fact, committing and just riding it works out and it’s the dithering that leads to that otb. But it’s not easy until it’s ‘routine’ - that’s what I’m hoping, anyway 😂

[@Jump-n-smash]

What's with the wrist support, Neil?

[@OriginalTrev]

choosing when to send it or when to bail as the trail goes from rutted to rooty... injure a wrist from otb or rolling an ankle from hike-a-bike

[@ICE329]

It's bad....😂😂😂 everything...😂😂😂

[@Milessongs]

Thanks Neil, Great info well presented. I just bailed/walked on a new super-steep right hander on my local trails. Can’t wait to get back and try again with this info in my head. Wish me luck!😮

[@dropoutjohn]

Mahalo! I've been walking a scary left hander on a local trail for a while... I'll give it a go now!

[@random.collection]

can we have a video of your bike collection. also you brought my mtb confidence from 0 to 100!

[@oliverbradleyliveoutloud]

Thanks Neil great helpful practical help, corners is often where it all goes wrong

[@skinny8019]

This is a really helpful video. Thank you.

[@JeffMTBinVA]

Thanks Neil. I've been sessioning on some downhill switch backs at my local park. Going to take some of this and see if it improves.

How dare you try and get me to stop crashing, it's the only skill I've mastered

You guys need to come for a ride up my local dent in the lake district where building some sick trails at the moment

[@semadragun]

[@Dodolomity]

Hi Neil, Thanks for gerat vid. What happend to your right wrist and knee? Hope it heals soon!

[@DownhillDesireMTB]

committing to dropping my body weight down the hill is exactly what i struggle with!! flippin nightmare lol

[@jackbiernacki8603]

Hi Neil, This looks like new Orbea Rise LT. How do you like this bike for descending? And what is your bike weight?

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

Lol, look at all the bot comments

[@dlwilliamson5644]

Yeah, what is with this? Seems like the Hello Kitty contingent from a SHanghai Starbucks are meeting after class.

[@Jump-n-smash]

Maybe gmbn hired a bot farm to drive viewer engagement

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

@@Jump-n-smash nah I've seen it on loads of vids

[@talariarl1235]

Your a bot 😮

[@dlwilliamson5644]

@@talariarl1235 Maybe you meant "You are a bot or You're a bot"? (not a bot and barely a decent MTB'r ).

[@kurt4409]

Never a left then a left or a right then a right...that would be a u-turn sending you back up the hill.

[@oliverbradleyliveoutloud]

😂

[@KevinT3141]

That's what I thought when he said it, and then darned if he didn't find a left left.

[@ashleynicholls9526]

EMBN 2

[@KevinT3141]

At what point was the e-bike even mentioned? He had to session that a lot to make this video, and I don't blame him one bit for bringing power to get back up; it wasn't a factor in the techniques that he was teaching at all. Are all Whistler videos chairlift ads now?

[@HelplmAlive]

You cant go a left and a left or right then a right because then you would be going uphill.

[@tonkshred]

I think that guy talking and “riding” should learn some basic trials abilities it would help him not be so awkward looking on the bicycle. Lay off the rear brake handle it like a man you need speed.

[@yourchannel12345]

@tonkshred what? He's an ex pro downhill racer. I'm pretty sure he knows what he talking about. Also, you need speed, which is some of the worst advice I've ever heard.

[@MrOvertSandStorm]

@@tonkshred haha trying to give The Don advice 😂 he's clearly showing how the turns should be controlled. If he wanted I'm sure he could go faster.
