What To Practice On Your Bike In A Parking Lot (and what NOT to practice!)

[@SuperRiderTV]

Here's a playlist with all of my Mountain Bike Tutorial videos (including all the skills mentioned in this video): kzbin.info/aero/PLycZkTUrZFP60I20UyJTf_FwzFQXz7CK6

[@saltybmxer6977]

Can you half cab ?

[@invictus_1245]

This is exactly what I needed, this is a whole lot better than the other tutorials, most of those are just overwhelming and they forget to mention the little things they don't think about any more that a newbie wouldn't know.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you! I’m so glad you found it helpful - I hope the rest of the tutorials on this channel are helpful, too!

[@nikolaytotev6456]

This video deserves more views. Preach!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks!! Glad you like it! 🙏

[@milesholland6826]

So critical. I consider myself a good XC rider, but now I am getting into more technical riding and mastering these things is good to me. Thanks for the reminders 👍

[@SuperRiderTV]

Yes!! Thanks so much for watching! I hope the other tutorial videos on this channel are useful for your riding (there’s a new one about using a staircase to practice wheel placement that you might find interesting).

[@IMikePlays]

The sounds the fork makes everytime you do the bounces are so satisfying for me

[@laramiegrinde9246]

This all looks like an insane amount of fun. But I can't quite balance on my bike without a tiny bit of forward motion. But riding on ice, frozen slush, and uneven snow is helping me.

[@SuperRiderTV]

You’ve come to the right channel - we can help! 🙌

[@makutzo]

"YO do a trick!" - literally me on every live stream haha :D Awesome editing and exactly what i needed to get off the computer and on my bike right now!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Haha - but at least it’s followed by a book talk! :) Stoked that you like it! Might need to bring this bike to visit the Shred Spot.. 🤔

[@richardcaro3368]

Great video! You are the top MTB trainer on KZbin! My opinion!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you!

[@Teracis]

Loving the editing on this one, you talking to yourself had me in stitches! This also reminded me I've missed a few of the really basic things and I need to practice them more!

[@SuperRiderTV]

You would have laughed even harder if you would have seen my filming setup, just sitting in my car alone, talking to a camera in a parking lot. So glad no one walked by when I was doing it! Haha

[@AtomicMrShock]

I like when he just just appears magically in the background at 3:09 and then rides in to do the next trick.

[@SuperRiderTV]

I’m so stoked that you caught that one!

[@ihsanulusoy16]

You make it look like so easy mate but whenever i try to do it constantly failing.

[@whitewolfdojo8259]

Me too! Guess we need more practice!

[@maxpainxl125]

Exactly! The same reason why I wanted to learn trials. Not a fan of high speed super fly but on fun and problem solving on trails...

[@SuperRiderTV]

Exactly - problem solving on two wheels!

[@IronMaster999]

What an awesome video! Definitely going to try to learn some of these have to work today!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Right on, thank you!! Definitely check out the playlist if you want to go deeper into any of the individual techniques, too. Have fun!

[@offdaystv]

Just discovered your channel. Gonna study all of these videos and in a year I’m going to come back and see how much I’ve improved

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome!! Practice makes progress!

[@christophertrabulsie360]

So ..how have you progressed?

[@offdaystv]

@@christophertrabulsie360 Crazy to look back on this after a year and I’m glad you asked 😂. I can now comfortably pivot (Endo) on trails and use it where it makes sense. I have no dabbed the hardest technical trails at my local trail system, and can pedal drop 2-3ft drops and can usually get up ledges that are 2+ft higher by using the punch/rear wheel lift technique. Practicing these drills really helped.

[@offdaystv]

@@christophertrabulsie360 sorry to info overload but I do believe the track stand is the most important technique to learn especially when riding slow tech/steep chutes.

[@christophertrabulsie360]

@@offdaystv I'll take all the info possible....that is a good piece of advice and something I probably would have overlooked. That's great to hear about your progress, I also hope to be better in a year than I am now. Long time roadie who mountain bikes, I just have less than optimal skills...theses should help.

[@rogertom4962]

Excellent explanation which really helps. Watch your vids over and over to learn and exercise afterwards.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you!! So glad that the videos are helpful, have fun!!

[@joeshawcroft7121]

[@joeshawcroft7121]

@@SuperRiderTV heck yea. if you know good trails, let me know some of your favorite ones.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Have you been out to the new(ish) trails in Scappoose yet? I think Syncline will always be a favorite…that view is something else (plus Little Moab is basically perfect for a trials rider like me)!

[@joeshawcroft7121]

@@SuperRiderTV I haven't! I'll check it out. Are the trails listed on MTB project or Trail Forks?

[@OutdoorWeekend]

I hope you can make more tutorial about mountain bike and what and where to start.. It's tp overhelmed about mountain bike world..

[@SuperRiderTV]

For sure! This one is a good start, I think - but I definitely think it’s possible to make a beginner video

[@FlyingFun.]

Thanks again, liked and subbed. These basic moves are exactly what I need. Been riding for 50 years but never really advanced my riding much beyond just light trails on chesp road or hybrid bikes but lately bought emtb and wanting to explore more technical riding and need to back to basics which is great because I like a challenge and learning new things ... I a bit old for falling so no big jumps etc but I'm game for bit of fin off road.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome! This is the perfect stuff to practice to get you more confident and progressing your skill. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@smoothlandin]

Great video. I just wanted to add that you can practice these in your living room. Check with your wife first or wait till she's at work. Nothing like a little pressure not to break that tv or glass coffee table..

[@SuperRiderTV]

Great call! I grew up practicing trackstands in our living room while I watched TV!

[@MrSeif007]

Very interesting video. Waiting for more 🤙

[@PepperstreetDev]

Thx for the great vid ! Really engaging and very well explained. I hope you get tons of followers. 90% of riders are weekend warriors who can't do any of this stuff.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much! Hoping my trials riding background is a helpful way to teach everyone some new techniques for their riding!

Thanks for awesome training tips! I guess you already know this but I noticed it looks like your side straps on your helmet needs to be adjusted? Adjust the side straps so that they connect like a "V" just below the ears 🙂

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks for the tip! Got a new helmet with a much better fit these days.

Great vid. Greetings from NL

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thank you!!

[@chpbrugge]

@@SuperRiderTV I have a question, hope you can help me out. When standing on the vrije I always have my left foot behind and my right foot on the front side. When keeping the front brake in and jumping with the back wheel to the right thats easy. But with left foot behind, taking the front wheel to the left is quite hard. Do I have to put my right foot rear to do this or do I have to keep practicing? Hoor my question is clear and thanks for answering, appreciate it :)

[@chpbrugge]

Already found the answer @3:25 :)

[@timc4258]

Love that Chameleon! What size are you riding and how tall are you? I'm right between a large and XL (6'1"). I'm tempted to go for the large.

[@SuperRiderTV]

I’m riding a Medium frame and I’m 5’10”. I would probably go up to Large if I was going to start over with it, though. Such a fun bike!

[@groengm2012]

Enjoy your channel trying these things on my e-trail bike like you say it’s not so much muscle as it is technical.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks! I got to ride an e-bike for the first time this year, it was such a big help to have the technical skill transfer over. Hope these tutorials are helpful!

[@lohdal]

When you back pedal on the track-stand exercise you drive backwards. How is thar possible without the bike being a fixie?

[@SuperRiderTV]

The backpedal disengages the hub, making it possible to roll back without resistance. I also use my hips to pull the momentum of the bike backward. There is a full video on this channel for the trackstand, definitely check it out if you can!

[@Misfits_mtb]

When hopping on both wheels are you using your brakes?

[@SuperRiderTV]

Yeah! Both brakes on to start - as you develop the skill you can substitute pedal pressure for the brakes (in some scenarios), but best to start with brakes until you get the hang of it.

[@brucemilmont6455]

Is it best to practice all 5 on a given day or focus on 1 or 2 ?

[@SuperRiderTV]

Totally your call...I usually do all five, that way I can move on from one if I get frustrated with a drill.

[@nomvonglismerced4311]

my trials bike is like 187 lbs and couldn't do any of these tricks

[@toddhamm453]

Can I learn these skills on an alluminum frame rigid fat bike? (35lb bike not 45 lb}

[@SuperRiderTV]

Absolutely - I’m riding an aluminum frame here, and these techniques apply to any sort of mountain bike. You may find certain things in here easier on a rigid bike as well. In fact, my trials bike rear tire is *almost* fat bike width! 👊
