You honestly look like you been riding at least a year or two now! Your progression is amazing, and I really think that getting a mullet enduro bike is definitely the play for your riding!! The slack of an enduro bike is a lot more pushed out then steep which makes it so much fun to hit drops and you know your able to because of the geometry of the bike!! Awesome video!! Hope to ride with you one day!🔥

Great stuff. I ski and I race dh mtn bikes. They compliment each other very well. You have to have good vision, read the terrain, and confidence helps. On the mountain bike think heavy feet light hands. Stand on the pedals don't put all your body weight on the handlebar. Grip the bar firmly but don't put all your weight on the handlebar. Drop your heels. Stand on those pedals. Keep your elbows out and your head up. Progress slowly, don't get broken off before the ski season starts.

Insane progression!! That first spot on T&S that you bailed on was a good move. If you send that inside drop with any speed you blow the corner and crash. Has gotten most of the people I ride with. You're also spot on with the awkward root line. You need to set up way outside and dive in. Super techy!!

Great video. Now I am going to have to fly out and do some Mt biking !! We have a sweet downhill park but you have to pedal up. They do rent e-bikes though. Last year I got the Trek fuel 8 ex and I love it !! As I progress next year I am adding to the Just released Trek Slash 8 series. Getting the Entry level Trek 9 actually. That will be for mainly downhill at the parks. I would seriously check that bike out if you can. It’s a legit game changer and shaping up to be one of the baddest enduro bikes you can get! Killer review so far.

Just at that bridge drop: those guys should not have been lingering on the trail so slowly where they were. Not sure about in the US but in Australia we shout “rider” when we are approaching people on the trail, stopped on the side, or even catching up on someone. Hope that helps.

Not a mountain biker, but if you look at the tracks from other riders, they hug super close to the tree trunk and take the inside line for that instead of going wide.

@AJ_Owens Жыл бұрын
@ark530abe it's all in the rider not the bike. A more aggressive bike won't help anyone learn if they can't learn the foundation or the "why" which is what hardtails are extremely good at. They force you to improve your line choice or not to case a jump otherwise there's actually consequence. I rip my hardtail at northstar bikepark once or twice a season. It's a blast.
