Nice master

[@Fluidride]

Thanks for watching, Chusnul!

[@McHillytop]

Great video. Any advice on how to pedal when the off camber portion of the trail is going up hill? I keep scrubbing my inside pedal ( seat all the way up) due to the slant going right to left. Drop off on the left and edge from trail cut out in the right.

[@rgreen1378]

What is the point of turning your front wheel on a jump? Just for style or is it necessary in some situations? I’ve only been mtn bike riding 3 years and I’m in my mid 50’s so I’m in for having fun and learning but not about doing unnecessary stuff that might cause a crash.

[@Fluidride]

It's very much functional! If you *only* turn your bars, that won't do anything useful. But if you turn your bars and commit your shoulders/body/bike, you can move your bike in the air. This can be really useful when the jump is hipped (then you can set your bike up for the landing) and when there is a tight turn immediately following the jump; then you can set up for the turn better while you're in the air.

[@rgreen1378]

@@Fluidride thanks for the explanation.

[@industryrule-4080]

How much would it cost to get private coaching on this level? It’s amazing.

[@Fluidride]

Hi Terence! Thank you! All of our coaches are based in the Greater Seattle, Washington area, if you're interested in some private coaching, feel free to check out our instructors page at fluidride.com/privatesessions and find out who might suit you best. We all love coaching, you can't go wrong. -Kagen, Fluidride Coach

[@chrisslaterMTB]

Can you explain the situation where the pre-turn is needed for off camber turns? It wasnt clear in this vid.

[@Fluidride]

In this turn it becomes possible to turn on the flat ground prior to the off camber, making the off camber way easier to navigate, since most of the turn is then done by that point. The pre turn allows the turn to start earlier basically. Hope this helps! -Simon

[@williamsalvatore2971]

Why would you not make it as large as a garbage pail?

[@mattwasMTB]

hold on now, from this angle, this turn looks pretty flat, can someone tell me what makes this turn off-camber?

[@senseiblepinoy]

5th comment. Great video! I can't wait to apply what I've been learning from this great channel. But let me first buy my own bike. lol

[@Fluidride]

Yeah bikes are so hard to get these days! We're stoked you're enjoying the videos 🤘

[@hoganwes]

Ah! Counter directional steering in the air looks a lot like a pre-turn 🧐

[@Fluidride]

It really is the airborne equivalent. Good call! -Simon
