Reason #2 just hit me like a lightning bolt. I've been doing this and hadn't even realized it.

What was the second trail they were on after Luna air-zone 5:03

This I think will help a lot I have kinda brute forced my way up in mtb skill going on harder trails but I personally never have improved my bike handiling so hopefully I can start getting looser and less tense on my bike. I am starting to do double black trails and yet I never really mastered black trails because of my control of the bike.

so good

Honestly, these steep descents are what I'm really struggling as to gaining confidence. Great tutorial, thank you!

This is the best wheelie tutorial video that I have seen!

The biggest mtb tip ever for me. Man, I go down rock stairs and steep descent like a pro. It is incredible how this tip helped me get ahead in my riding abilities. BTW, I am over 60 and started eMTB a year ago.

Is he still well after the "injection"?? 07:18

This is such a simple but ride changing explanation of what I keep losing control (and falling off) on drops!! Thank you for posting this, you are a legend!!

This is the best jumping video, must videos just talk about bigger jumps and they don't really explain much

So important. I never realized I do this but spot on!!

I so admire you for being so cool, calm and collected throughout! And thank you so much for sharing this experience, because while mountain biking is so much fun, technical training is tough and we all have sustained a fall or two (or 32) in the process. Keep at it, great videos!

so fresh and so clean 😂😂😂

Thanks for an awesome tutorial!🔥 Quick question, is bunny hops possible or harder to do on a hardtail?? Compared to full suspension?

I have been watching your videos whilst trying to achieve an edge on my riding and have found them brilliant to honing my own technique; well done! Thank you for posting such fantastic, engaging, and relevant content! Cheers and well done! I do look forward to future content :) Thank you!

Too much talking videos bores people

I think it's more important to teach "back foot dominant vs front foot dominant" and not this "left/right foot forward" stuff. I ride front foot (right) dominant and my right turns are much harder than left turns, which is not your experience it sounds like being backfoot dominant.

I have looked at many mountain bike technique tutorials, and this channel by far clearly explains the concept and how to perform the techniques.

right foot forward and right food dominant here. right turns are much harder than left turns because of hip position. Looking at these comments, this seems more common than admitted

Is the step down jump like a bunny hop? Can one use the bunny hop technique to jump step downs?

I was trying to implement what you are teaching with the front/rear foot turns. I am right handed/footed and found that it's easier to put weight on my right foot, but harder to put weight on the front foot. So for me to balance things out, it makes sense to put my dominant foot forward to make front foot turns easier. I am not as good at shifting weight to my left foot, so putting it back makes that a little easier.

Vid is great cuz he’s riding a stumpy and not some crazy DH bike - my wife rides a stumpy and trying to get her more comfortable on jumps so this is very helpful and illustrates the fact that most people don’t need as much suspension as they think they do 👍🏻

Can't wait to try this!

The visual cues help me understand the concept (yellow & red cones)

Great job guys thank you🙏🌵🪨⛰️⚒️🌲🚵‍♀️

Great vid. Thanks!

that was awesome, linnea.

Your videos on footwork in turns have revolutionized my riding! I am so much faster and smoother in turns, and keeping my knees over my toes and staying centered over the bike (also from your videos) has only made my cornering even better. I feel so solid on corners now, where before I always felt like was on the edge of crashing. Thanks for your videos! Keep up the great work. 👍👍

she's doing freaking awesome jumps! that is a big jump.

Simon presents easily digestible and actionable guidance for complex movements. 🙏

now make the entire thing off-camber 😋

I would think even if you can't do long distance manuals.Just having the ability to feel that balance point in the bike will allow you when you're trail riding to make more adjustments and still make you a much stronger rider.

great video!

Do these techniques apply to us hardtail riders?

Best explanation of the OTB I've ever heard 👌

Best mtb tutorials on UA-cam imo

wow Linnea, total respect! how long to ride again?

That hurt so much to watch. Probably more to experience. What a champ!

Great instruction!!

The theory section of this video was good, but the final practical section I thought could have been in slow-mo, showing the theory put into practice

Excellent instruction

5:43 One of the critical things that I constantly observe from several videos is to keep the weight of your arm as minimal as possible. However, in this section, since you said that my position should still be over the bottom bracket, doesn't it make you put weight on the handlebars? Since this is what happens when I do this position. Should my arm and handlebar remain weightless?

Where are your videos

Not enough visual display both in slow motion and still photos along with the video maybe you can remake this one please

Yes, I learned from the start when I started mtbiking last June, 2023 at age 49. Stand up central over the pedals, stand up to all jumps small, medium, big and large stand up and boss the handlebars. After three weeks of practicing six hours a day, six day's a week it clicked together, (after many injuries coming off the bike to, lol). Within three weeks of hardcore and painful practice I was sending my cross country 2021 Specialized Rockhopper hardtail mtbike over 15 gap jumps at breakneck speed to. I discovered I had a natural talent for mtbiking that I didn't even know I had at age bloody 49 to. I'm 50 now, lol. So I upgraded my Rockhoppers 90 mill front suspension travel to 140 mill travel, whipped the two disk brakes off and put Shimano four piston front and back brakes on it. Took the two cogs off the front and replaced it with just one smaller front cog. With its 29 inch wheels, and replaced slim tyres with 2.4 wider chunkier tyres, it's now a Trail/Enduro mtbike that's a Blackbelt Cobra Kai fast as a bat out of hell mtbike. My wife then bought me a £3,700 Specialized Status 160 mill travel Enduro 2021 model full suspension mtbike, with £500 pounds worth of upgrades to it including Diety (I didnt even know that Diety is a top make) handlebars for £1,500 pounds second hand. Deal of the century. I progressed so quickly at this mtbike lark I was told by expert mtbikers who were pissed at me for my rapid progression that "I'd learned to do in 3 weeks what it took them 18 months to learn." I thought to myself "Well I didn't bloody mean to, it's not something I planned, it just happened." Jumping dirt jumps is something I've wanted to do since I was a teenager, but in the 70's and 80's in Wales, UK there were no dirt jumps, mtbike trails etc. Not to my knowledge anyway. So an expert mtbiker strongly suggested to me to buy an Enduro mtbike. Preferably the specialised status 160 cos it's a mullet and basically a bike park bike, playfull. Business on the front, a party at the back etc. My wife's American from New Jersey/Florida she lives with me here in Swansea city, Wales, UK. She's an expert bmx flatlander, we are intending to move to Seattle City, USA in a few year's to live and settle there permenently. The weather there seems quite similar to Wales, UK. Back in January I was racing expert mtbikers down the mtbike trails, i beat them even as a beginner. When I arrived at the bottom of the trail first I counted the seconds before the person in second place got to the bottom of the trail behind me. He was 40 seconds behind me. So there's a natural talent there, I have adhd to so I'm a bit fearless and a daredevil at going fast, lol. Maybe we can hook up with you both in a few year's when we move out to Seattle, USA from the Wales, UK. Thank you both.

Bloody marvelous. Thanks both.

Most excellent. Thanks guy's.

Fantastic. Thank you both.

Again brilliant. Thanks both.

This is the best way I've seen demonstrated in how to do an American bunny hop from scratch. I used the scooping technique on my pedals which burns up more energy. But this looks much easier. Thank you Simon.
