RIDING STEEP HILLS AND ALMOST GOING OVER THE BARS!

I have been working on my steep trail riding. More recently I have focused on riding jumps however the other day I went to ride down something steep and got really spooked so that is when I decided I wanted to put in more time and properly work on my confidence going down steep trails.
Danbury common was the best place for this as I know there are quite a few steep hills. So I went with Tom Cardy and tackled them. There was one in particular that I could drop if I went in with a bit more speed however I didn't pull properly and almost went over the bars!
I hope you enjoyed the video!

Great video Kara I love your progress every time you put out a new video. What’s next I guess it’s some more mine blowing MTB

[@TheBrokenMountainBiker]

If you want to learn to ride tech then you and Tom really should head down to Tidworth freeride. Wicked place and full of rooty, janky lovelies!

[@KaraBeal]

Yes that is on my list of places to go!

[@cmouse_2]

Looking good ..Go pro always makes them look less steep so it will be interesting to see them for real😁

[@KaraBeal]

Thanks! For sure!

[@SilverbackOrangutan71]

Yea I almost went otb yesterday bombing stairs… I went from a small pedal to a large pedal and lost feeling where my feet were…and.. lost confidence

[@milanas_2009]

Great video!

[@roterjens]

Well done, Kara! Whenever I see videos of "steep hills" or "very steep hills" I'd like to compare it with the steepness of the hills in my area. I sometimes measure the steepness of my favourite hills with a smartphone. So I know that I can ride hills (and stairs) with 30° (=57.7%) steepness without any problem. However, hills with 45° steepness rather scare me off, at least, if they are higher than a couple of meters. Do you know what steepness you are tackling in this video in degrees?

[@hornzeerides72]

good content...Once you master those steep hills...perhaps you could challenge your self on some stair sets of doom! peace out...cheers to all the MTB riders.. 🇨🇦

Hey Kara, I would like to ask for advise if your okay withh that. I'm currently 5"7 and looking at a new bike that if I don't get soon will go off sale the medium size ranges from 5,6" to 5'10" and the large ranges 5,10" to 6 something. I don't know what to do and was wondering if you, or Tom could give me any advise (15 years old)

[@tomquimby8669]

The best advice is to get the size you feel comfortable on and is easy to handle, if that is the one not on sale so be it.

Rampage....

[@leem4017]

“When I was a beginner rider” 😂

[@Pcgdean]

Yeah?

[@junka1975]

Kara's best line ever, "My bad, I thought I was going over the bars, oh well quite good I didn't die!" Yes I saw a bit of whippage on the jump Kara. Doing great.

[@harrygardiner2000]

First

[@KaraBeal]

Yes!!

[@jmrracing7097]

Rampage 🤔😂
