Thank you a lot for the video. One question, those the size of wheel matters? Can you do it with 29"?

[@MadRiverReggie]

I've watched 90% of your 483 posted vids so far (many of them several times). Your clear and concise teaching is amazing and on par with your excellent riding skills, not to mention your very well edited videos. I rarely comment on vids but awesome video and channel! During the past 6 months your trials tutorials, specifically, have me hooked on learning this style from the basics on up. Thank you very much Aaron. Always look forward to your new vids and continue to watch previous ones regularly.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Wow! Thanks so much for this, it totally made my day. I’m so glad to hear that the videos have been helpful - that means a lot. Thanks again for watching!

[@GameplayerSolCley]

I say the same, I hope you also get paid as the videos have more quality than many tv waves... I am always listening to all of these videos over and over, you´re a teacher and I am higly thankfull for it, sorry for the bad english.

[@pingping035]

This is one of the most educated videos ever for MTB riding. Thanks a lot.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@crankerson]

this is gold. I'm saving this to watch again and again.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome! That’s the highest praise I could ask for in a video! 🙏

[@billieguitar]

I KNEW IT hi im new here and 10minutes in I was like waaait a second those are all trials moves/skills, then near the end you say you come from trials!!! Well played, clever way to motivate everyone to learn those fundamentals (that you are absolutely correct of course about working and being extremely useful and also will allow people to breakthrough to the next level of bike control) but while not putting "trials" in the video title as some might get scared of that OR assume it wont apply to them. Orrr at least thats what it seems like you were going for? Well either way, great job.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Haha, busted! You got it...that's exactly what I'm doing here. Let's hope it works! :)

[@petedog9581]

Great demos. "English" bunny hops are more important than a traditional bunny hops bc trail features come fast and time for proper prep isn't always there. Track stands IMO lead to all the other skills and you show that w the order of skills in the vid. The legs and arms are the true suspension in mtb, the fork and shock are just assists.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Agreed!

[@bunnys1980]

I loved it. Huge thanks. To my eyes these are magic, you're a magician. I'll try to do as much practice as I can

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much for watching. Practice makes progress!

[@danielkeene3852]

This is an excellent video for newer riders with some tips that anyone can benefit from. I've been on a mountain bike since around 1990 (yeah, I'm old.) and I'm using these instructions to clean up some of my skills while I'm off the trails recovering from an injury. Good stuff for sure.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Right on, so glad to hear that this video has been helpful for you. Thanks so much for watching!

[@MerinKumar]

very clear with basics, I came here after watching other basics skills videos, and one thing you mentioned ..we don't need suspension or other fancy stuff to learn, gives me more confidence :)

[@warrenthompson9574]

Really good video explains it better to my son than ever could have 👍

The best mtb techniques video

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you! 🙏

[@sapinva]

The order I learned this stuff (almost backwards)... ride over it, drops, hops, lunges, track stand, back lift, front balance point, pivots, front lift, wheel placement, wheelies. Back balance point and back wheel hops I'm still working on.

[@SuperRiderTV]

I can see how that would work - it's a constantly expanding quiver of skills to ride higher and farther over obstacles. Doesn't necessarily build in a way that makes the next skill easier, but in terms of getting over more and more complicated obstacles, it's solid!

[@sapinva]

@@SuperRiderTV If you want to learn trials it makes a lot more sense to start from the basics. I started with road, then track, then fixed gear off road, years before mountain bikes existed. The hardest part for me is overcoming decades of contrary habit.

[@SuperRiderTV]

@sapinva i still have to overcome those habits on stuff where I roll backwards (front wheel especially) - my brain is wired to cancel out the movement! Haha

[@fate70]

Ray have you lost some weight? You look incredible my guy I’m so proud of you

[@randallblytheadlercavalera8373]

❤ helpful tips for a master rider thanks mannn!!😊❤

[@SuperRiderTV]

Have fun!! :)

[@Thedoug369]

If you're trying to learn to wheelie on an ebike and having a hard time getting the front wheel off the ground, you might try removing the battery if you can. Most batteries are located in front of the cranks, mine is about 20lbs maybe more and it was really hard to wheelie with it in the bike at first.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Great call! I would be so curious to try wheelies on an ebike...definitely on my list for the next year!

[@scottjames6037]

Very good. Thanks

[@SuperRiderTV]

Have fun!

[@janchristensen5692]

Personally, I think for the exaggeration part act like your mad at someone and you will also feel that exaggeration too.

[@silpasilpaa.s8227]

[@davidemagliocco9119]

How impossible is to learn these skills from 0 with a Kenevo Expert Ebike of 25kgs ?! XD I'll try and let u know

[@SuperRiderTV]

Here's a specific video about learning these same skills on an ebike. Hope this helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIeyXp2orJKaorM

[@jimbo6993]

I’ve always turned my front wheel towards my front foot to do a track stand. So trials riders do the opposite? I’ll have to learn it all over again to do it that way. I see where doing it the trials way allows you to do front wheel pivots.

[@SuperRiderTV]

For the most part. Every skill builds into the next one, so I guess I'm not saying you should relearn something that you already know - but picking up that opposite direction will help make the pivot skill easier to pick up.

[@laramiegrinde9246]

I'm really struggling with this since moving to a full suspension. The bike fits me so that's not the issue. I somehow keep losing my front pedal when I really try to lift the back wheel. Not sure what I'm doing wrong this time.

[@SuperRiderTV]

My front foot comes up occasionally when I go to lift my back wheel, I find that I'm focusing ALL of my attention on the back foot. Once you've got that pedal scoop wired in, start to balance the focus back out across both feet - but also know that even after years of doing this, I still occasionally slip up.

[@MXedits_1]

First thing to learn on any bike is a wheelie. Everything else will just automatically happen over time but if you don't figure out wheelies all of it will be pointless.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Also true!

[@lepidactylus]

Is it possible my bike is too heavy for those wheel lifts and placement techniques? even with weight ditribution i feel my fully is just too heavy. its about 16-17 kg it looks so much more effortless when u do it.

[@GameplayerSolCley]

1:17:12 dont you get snake bites as you tires need air?

[@wavelover4295]

Thanks for the tutorials, One question. Does the track stand still work if you are on a downward slope? I understand that it works on an upward slope because you can constantly use pedal movement forward and gravity to pull the bike backward. Would this still work if you are pointed on a downward slope? If you are making small forward and backward adjustments wouldn't that be harder to pull the bike backward on the downward slope or on rough terrain?

[@SuperRiderTV]

You’re absolutely right that it would be a lot harder to do it on a downhill slope. Not impossible - but a lot harder for all the reasons you listed. That said - once you have the basics locked in, you can absolutely get it done, since you’ll have better command of the unweighting and backpedaling motions.

[@tamcuc4392]

Why my mtb bike cant pedal backwards?

[@francojmautino]

thanks! which frame is it?jackal?

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks for watching! This frame is a Chameleon

[@SPiTFiRE_JiMMY]

How is the e-bike for riding?

[@SuperRiderTV]

These drills definitely apply to e-bikes as well - you may need to overexaggerate your unweighting a slight bit more than normal to counter the extra weight, but it's all still relevant and useful.

[@Indicasativa55]

Thanks for the advice bro but at 46 I doubt I’m ever reaching your levels 😂 your bikes hotter than a night with Meghan fox tho ( I’d imagine )

[@SuperRiderTV]

Haha! Thanks! Even a little bit of these techniques will go a long way, definitely worth the effort to start small and test them out.

Filming yourself is the best thing, you get to see the difference between what you "think" is happening versus what is really happening. Best thing to do if you want to learn fast - and it sounds like you are well on your way! :)
