Learn To Corner Your MTB - 3 simple Steps!

[@MrWhynotnow]

HELL yeah! Another great instructional vid boys. I like the back and forth from Left Hand to the lot. Nice work.

[@JoyOfBike]

Thanks homie!! It's crazy what the simple drills in a lot will do to make on trail applications so much more impactful, regardless of skill level.

[@chasewillie.1]

Thanks for joining us! And we appreciate that feedback-we want to give everything the appropriate context. Glad it's resonating! Hope to see you on the next Joyride as well!

Came here to say I appreciate you guys (aka Traction Coffee) showing up in the Battle of Hastings stream. You guys represent the all encompassing bike life mentality and I'm here for this. Kudos!

[@JoyOfBike]

Thanks amigo!! That means the world; we LOVE bikes & dope events like BoH, anyway we can be involved in that we try to be. Stoked you're here & part of the family. You rule! -Mike

[@robiveevee840]

Great video boys ! I try to use these techniques , but sometimes revert back without thinking , so its good to hear these instructions , " now if i can only get em to be 2nd nature" ! Hell yeah boys !

[@chasewillie.1]

Thanks for tuning in! It's SO easy to get sucked back into passive riding. I try to remind myself of one thing to focus on before each lap, to make sure I'm actively riding. Stay rad! Hope to see ya on the next one!

[@JoyOfBike]

It's super easy to revert back to old habits!! That's where the parking lot drills paired with correct form come in handy, do reps on reps & the muscle memory will ultimately take care of the rest!! Hell ya amigo!! -Mike

[@SantiMagic22]

Awesome video. I’m an inter rider. I consider my self a natural. But I never learn anything from anyone. Just riding. So these videos are gold to me to clean up my riding. A video I’m looking for is how to dominate a simple jumps like small table tops or dubles. I find my self in the air pulling one side of the handle bar and always landing awkward hanging on for a near crash. Thanks guys. Awesome tutorials

[@andrejgorkic2193]

My advice would be to start online mtb school where feedback is possible and in a year or two things will start happening. Its gonna cost you around 150€ but its worth it IMO. These youtube tutorials are fine but only pieces of the puzzle... and there are no easy 3 steps. It more like a 100 steps ...

[@JoyOfBike]

The best way to learn is to ride!! So good on ya amigo. Stoked to hear you've been enjoying the videos though! When it comes to jumping, we have a tutorial on that - if you haven't checked it out start there, but my guess is you're maybe a little off-center or trying to PULL off the lip causing you to get kicked sideways. Feel free to send me a video on IG (@mikemurfitt) & I can do my best to provide actual feedback.

[@jacobseeman23]

Your videos are ivy league level lessons. I love the science you guys incorporate. Thank you so much!

Ah heck, thank you for the love amigo!! That means the world. So stoked you're diggin' them. You rule! -Mike

[@henlix1]

Washed out the front wheel on a set of rollers at high speed last weekend. I think you had it spot on I didn’t have my weight over the center of the bike. Been riding for years and still make silly mistakes. Great video and explanations

[@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo]

my mantra for this couple of years is "chin over the stem ! "

[@JoyOfBike]

Ah man, sorry to hear it!! I'm right there with you though, 20 years on the bike & I still do silly things - I think that's pretty natural. In my experience it occurs when we get too comfortable with a skill & let our guard down...then BOOM, a crash.

[@chasewillie.1]

Happens to the best of us! That's awesome that you're analyzing what you did wrong so you can adjust for next time. Glad this can help you out in that process. Thanks for hanging with us-hope to see you on the next one as well!

[@S_Mendez_28]

Yep....the one I've been waiting for. How often do you get a comment before the videos even released. 😆 Looking forward to it.

[@JoyOfBike]

Can’t wait to hear what you think of this one!! We had a blast making it & believe it has some great info in it. See ya for the premier tomorrow!

[@S_Mendez_28]

Nicely explained fellas. . I fully understand the why and how, but man, getting over that fear of putting trust into the tires is no easy challenge, and it feels like such a complex move to execute. Any tips for gaining trust in those side knobs? Time, patience, I suppose? By the way, Chase, those pump corners in the parking lot were smoooooov AF! 👌 At first I was like..."hold up...did his rear wheel just leave the ground?...😲...rewind...x10" 😆 Thanks for sharing. 👊

[@JoyOfBike]

Completely fair! That's exactly why the parking lot is such a great starting spot; start slow & work up to going faster as the skill & trust builds. Trusting the side nobs will come naturally as you sharpen the skill, so you're spot on; time & patience. haha yea, it's crazy how smooth it can end up being!!

[@misterhaan]

i've been working on my confidence going faster through berms this summer, and it's definitely easier for me to turn left. probably also true on flat corners but i don't have much practice on those. there are a couple trails at my home trails that have good berms that i want to ride without braking yet this year -- so far i've made it down to braking before 2 right-curved berms in each, then i ride through feeling like i could have taken it faster.

[@JoyOfBike]

Another banger of a video. One thing I have been working on this year is to use a hip hinge without as much knee bend. When I do this I can get more of a pump and snap through corners. As well, I don't get as tired because I am not working my quads as hard. I would be interested in seeing how you guys set up your suspension. Are you adjusting often or more set and forget riders? Thanks for the video.

[@JoyOfBike]

thanks amigo!! Stoked you enjoyed this one - it's rad to hear you're starting to get corning dialed in. Knowing how to work with the bike as you're describing is half the battle! Personally I ride pretty closer to manufacturer spec for my weight, just a tad stiffer & slower rebound. I'm a pretty set & forget kind of guy but that's probably the BMXer in me. haha. We've actually been talking about doing a tech tuesday series with our buddy Luby that owns Dirt Labs suspension to cover this stuff in more depth - is that something that would be helpful?

[@chasewillie.1]

Hey hey! Those micro adjustments in your personal riding technique are pretty fun to figure out, huh? I do that all the time. Always a work in progress, which is the best part of riding. Personally, I'm mostly a set it and forget it rider these days when it comes to my suspension. Every once in a while, when I just feel like things aren't clicking like they should, I'll reset my suspension to the factory recommendations and dial it in over time again. Thanks for watching! We appreciate you! Hope to see you again soon.

Do you have any tips on how to roost? I have a mullet set up and was inadvertently roosting. The young riders complement me. I just was too hot in a turn and braked. But “roosting” was fun.

Are you sure about the physics of your energy being pushed to the outside?

[@chasewillie.1]

I'm sure there are a lot of fancy physics things that we left out in this video, but our goal is to distill it all down to something that can be rationalized and recognized. So, for the applicable purposes of this video, yes! But thanks for checking us!

[@JoyOfBike]

Absolutely! This is a huge factor in why we wash the front end if we aren't weighting the bike property based on the terrain we're cornering on. You can experience this by just standing on the bike how Chase did & applying force to the inside of the handle bar while standing - the front end gets light & wants to PUSH to the outside of the bike, resulting in a wash out.

This video would be far more effective is every word telling us "how this information is going to help us" was removed. Instructional videos are best when 'the lesson' is the only thing that is said. The rest just bogs down the students minds...
