Are You Learning MTB Skills In The Right Order?

[@davemoore843]

I'm in my mid 60s, I'm a roadie, I've not much confidence on an MTB. Your tutorials are like gold dust. You are good at explanation and demonstration. I think when people see these skills they forget all the hours nailing the basics that you have done. The basics are essential and you have to be confident before moving on. Your videos are brilliant. Thanks.

Thank you so much! That means a lot...made my day!

Your guidance is like gold dust. You are good at explaining and demonstrating. I think when people see these skills, they will forget the hours spent perfecting the basics that you already do. tks

Thank you so much! 🙏

Instead of grinding rims… you can buy the grit-compound-particles at hardware stores that people use to mix with paint in order to give stairs/ramps grip. I mix a heavy amount of the grit with a two-part epoxy then paint the rims with the mix. It is basically like having sandpaper/grip-tape on your rims. Also, I use Redline “Likewater” suspension fluid in my brakes.

Learning the foundational skills first is key!

[@SuperRiderTV]

So important! 🙌

Thanks for the reminder about brakes over obstacles. I struggle with 2-3ft rocks because I grab all the brakes like its a static hook. I think there is a downside to watching only pros ride big stuff. It creates the impression for us mortals that trials always has to be big moves because thats all we see. I find myself trying to stop and get to the back wheel first to gap things I could have just bunnyhopped.

The braking thing is probably one of the top three biggest unlocks for me as a rider. Cristiano Santos taught me and it completely changed my riding!

[@MTNMAX88]

All of your content is so awesome. It’s unbelievable that all of this skill and knowledge is free here on KZbin. Thank you 🙏

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much for watching! I hope it's all helpful!

Front wheel pivot is hard for me for now. It is hard to get use to turning the front wheel and then immediately pivoting the back. I find it easy to turn the front wheel to the same side as the pivot ie: my front wheel turns to the right while the back wheel goes right. Makes me feel like I'll fall over when pivoting the proper way. I'm workin' on it. Great lessons!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Right on - it’ll feel more natural with time. You got this!

Slow riding drills are very important in off-road motorcycle riding.

the thumbnail art for this video is wicked!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks! I got a little help from @portermtb on this one!

Hi Aaron and thank you for your videos. I want to share something that I've just noticed and that i think may be described in an additional way regarding the center of gravity displacement. Hips are aften described as the center of mass to be moved behind the rear axle, and in my case, at least, that information leads to a wrong movement. Desperately trying to move my hips behind that rear axle. But strictly doing that way turns my chest into the new center of mass as i elongate myself over the bike. If it can help I want to add that not only the hips but also the chest have to be moved in the same vector as a same block. Understanding that in addition to your advises unlock that poppy unweight feeling and result. Cheers.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Great call out - thanks for this!

[@biagiocautilli5644]

Thank you! Your videos are a fantastic resource!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you! Glad they've been helpful!

[@ms.karihart2983]

Mad skills I’ve enjoyed learning and applying what I’ve learned Thank you

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome! So glad to hear it - thanks for watching!

[@usbsol]

Day 1 of asking for a video about bike fitment across bike types - mtb, bmx, trials - cheers 🤙

[@SuperRiderTV]

There is a great video about this on the Joy Of Bike channel, better than I could explain it :)

[@usbsol]

​@@SuperRiderTV cool, that you give that reference - it is indeed a great video 🤙 Buuuut, what about the relationship between stem and handlebars on a trial bike, handlebar rise for different types of bikes, handlebar width (I know joy of bike talks about this as well), tire pressures, which are the best budget trials breake setup, etc - som many questions that need a Super Rider's answers to 🦄

[@Verbot819]

Im gonna try this progression overall, perhaps I will improve

[@SuperRiderTV]

These lessons will definitely give you a strong foundation to build on!

[@davidsgarage]

This is great man, Thanks!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Have fun! Practice makes progress!

Thoughts on E-bike motor response time ? Specialized comes stock at 40% (I think that’s give power and remove power 0.40 seconds after pedaling )

[@ssk6848]

😮😮

[@user-zj7wd3et2o]

What is the weight of this bike?

[@Marinos8419]

18:37 Your feet and pedals are horizontal to the ground. No scoop 🤷‍♂️ I really need to watch fewer videos and practice more.
