Being able to automatically perform these skills is key for confidence on features like this one. Building automatisms takes time and structured practice. Don't try to "trick" your brain - simply put in the practice! If you'd like to save time by practicing my proven drills, you now know where to find them. 🩵

Hi, Roxy. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial video. It was brilliant and very insightful. Thank you for emphasizing that people need to progress their skills before trying a wall ride like this one. You really care about people’s well being. You are a remarkably caring and understanding person. You are a true inspiration and blessing to all of us. May God bless you, Bernie, and all that you do.

Why am I fearful? Because I can imagine a messy crash followed by much pain! ;-P Seriously, your videos are helpful. One thing has become very clear to me now that I am 70 years old: technical features can require a LOT of strength. I was athletic for most of my life, but age and laziness has caught up with me. If I expect to send the big features, I need to invest in strength training.

Absolutely agree 🎉 that’s why my bunny hop home training course for example includes specific strength training exercises. It’s so wise of you to accept this 😍 - so thank you for sharing 🙏 Also, I work with many riders aged 70+ and it’s key to really refine skills, as skills finesse requires less strength. If you’d like to do that with me, then check the pinned comment ☺️☺️

This is a huge wall for sure :) You could add POV type of scene to the video showing bad/good line as well. Riding it yourself with cam on the helmet or chest. I personally would not attempt wall like this, but would go for twice smaller :D
@SteveLyons57Ай бұрын
mmm, surprised no one asked the question...for reference Roxy, what were your speed(s) when you and Berni hit the wall, and at how long is the wall btw? I'm guessing you probably need to attack it at 18-20+mph depending on your weight. Faster if the wall is longer. Back in my younger years when I hit the gym 3-4 times a week, mostly for upper body and core and road riding 150m/wk I built sufficient strength to power thru the water ski slalom course at usually 33-34 mph at 15-22' off the 75' ski rope. 34mph is pro womens speed. Men are running 36mph. And, they're running way shorter lengths which equates to more G's. To achieve those feats I'd have to be a full time gym rat and spend hours on the water, back in the day that is, lol. Right now I'm happy to slap trick skis on a tool around behind the boat. Perhaps you can share your thoughts on the fitness level required to successfully tackle this wall. I'm imagine the initial compression will be pretty significant at higher speeds and you have to correctly absorb that compression to stabilize your balance and then follow through. I've practiced and trained a bit on a 42 deg Velodrome and you definitely need to carry sufficient speed else you'll be sliding down the wall. On a cement track you can get a bit of road rash, ouch. Cheers to you and Bernie!

Absolutely agree, fitness, core strength and flexibility all play into this. Do you already know my video about the 5 pillars of riding and learning? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmSZnWCXf918pbMsi=eH3RRG4kv4NgpNBR I can’t say exactly how long and how fast - I’m guessing it’s about 20 meters in length, 4-5 meters in height (almost vertical) and I’d guess we both had about the speed you say. What matters is to work your way up as we say in the video to develop a feeling for the right speed - and of course also strength (on and off the bike).

You should use lead/follow term, not pulling someone through. By the way your videos are great 👍

It’s generally referred to as “towing” in the US. The definition of a tow would be following someone familiar or more experienced into a jump or what ever feature in order to know the correct line and speed.

@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire danke für deine Antwort. Meine Abneigung zu Holz liegt wohl eher an meinem Vater - sehr penibler Schreinermeister 🙈. Ich hege eine tiefe Abneigung zur Holz Be- und Verarbeitung, die sich seltsamerweise auch im Bikepark wiederspiegelt. 🥴 Aber grundsätzlich ist es schon richtig. Mit der richtigen Fahrtechnik lässt sich auch so ein Problem lösen. Da habe ich aber auch noch ganz andere Baustellen, die zuvor erst mal gelöst werden müssen. Da arbeite ich zur Zeit dran, dass die Bewegungsabläufe ins Unterbewusstsein wandern. Nach Hinten auf und absteigen, Voderradimpuls, Körper- Bike Trennung usw. 😉

@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Nein, den kenne ich noch nicht, aber Trackstand steht auch noch auf der Agenda. Ich hatte aus gesundheitlichen Gründen ein Jahr pausieren müssen. Bin davor viel in unserem Trailpark gefahren und mache das jetzt auch wieder. Ich komme zwar über die Tables und hier und da traue ich mich auch wieder über das ein oder andere Gap, aber habe mich dabei nie wohl gefühlt. Durch das Jahr Pause viel mir aber auf, woran das liegt. Einfach an den Basic's die ich noch nie oder unzureichend beherrscht. Jetzt arbeite ich daran. Hinterradimpuls funktioniert inzwischen gut, Voderradimpuls gelegentlich, Stopi auch. Nach hinten Ab- oder Aufsteigen ist allerdings ne Herausforderung, wenn man Jahrzehnte lang anders aufgestiegen ist. Trackstand ist aber auch etwas, was ich lernen möchte. Finde ich das Tutorial bei dir auf dem Kanal?

Just go fast and lean over towards the earth a little more than your self-preservation instinct tells you should and you'll stick to any wall like a fly
