Ride Your MTB Over BIGGER Ledges

- If you've learned the basics of riding up and over obstacles on your mountain bike, this video is here to help you ride over higher ledges. Using this technique, you can safely learn to ride above wheel height onto an obstacle.
Thanks to the magic of my GoPro's slow-motion function, we broke down the movement into five different elements, so you can see what goes into the effort of riding up and over tall obstacles.
Here's a link to the bashguard that I use on my bike: jenson.sjv.io/nL6JPo

Coolest most useful skill in MTB except for maybe , turning. Track stands too. Axle height is probably my highest so far. I’m 65 and people look at me in the city park trying this stuff, probably thinking , dementia has definitely set in.
Axle height is solid! I feel like that should cover almost any reasonable obstacle in the trail…but the unreasonable stuff is what gets me fired up. :)
Ignore the onlookers. I’m 59 but 12 inside. Too many people are old in outlook and have experienced nothing of what is possible with our bodies. Age is just a number, old is an attitude.
I Hope to be like you when i'll be 65! 😆
@@maxpower6188 thanks to you bro , when dementia takes me , my bike is yours!
Great skills - looks so effortless when you’re doing it.
Thanks! Been practicing this one for a long time!
I find that the standing wheelie + wheel base drill is a perfect way to progress on manuals as well. Just pick a downward slope of your choice, do a standing wheelie to the manual position (as shown on the video) and try to continue the movement down hill balancing on the back wheel (a slow manual). I feel this has taught be both getting into the balance position as well as balancing on a slow manual. And if you can do a slow manual then normal speed feels like a walk at the park... Thanks a lot for making these videos, they give a lot of ideas!
Agreed! It’s a great way to get there for sure. Thanks for watching, glad to hear that you like the videos!
Super Rider !!, 😅
Your bike look awesome ❤
Thank you!
Definitely got some shorter teeth on the chain ring from failures at this previously, one of these days I'll actually get a bash ring! It might be soon with this inspiration to get out there and push my limits!
It's such a solid piece to have on the bike, gives me a ton of extra confidence when I ride!
The way you explain is 🧑🍳😘 it makes me think about my own technique because it's perfectly laid down, I don't need motivation I need to be critical and get my ish together lol
Thanks so much! I find that filming myself ride with my phone has been a helpful way to identify the areas of my technique that need the most focus - highly recommended if you haven’t done it already!
I wish I was so coordinated.... I'm gonna practice tho!
Practice makes progress!
Would it be easier to learn these tricks on a bmx bike and then transfer them onto a mountain bike? (I am not going to buy a bmx just for practice, just asking out of curiosity lol)
Can you tell the bike you use? is it a 27.5 ?
It's a Marin Rift Zone 2 (size Large) - with 29" wheels. There's a link in the description of the video if you want to get a closer look at the spec of the bike, too.
Can i do this with a trekking bike? Because i tried and it seems impossible
Possibly? Definitely sounds challenging..
Idk how much you make but those bash guards are a highway robbery
The one I recommend is the cheapest one, they get pricey when you add in the chain guide elements for sure.
@@SuperRiderTV $40!!😬
@@nmckcolI put a bash guard on my bike when I started practicing these a year or so ago. It has saved my chain ring many times over. Folding your chain ring is annoying at the bike park, a real PITA if you are on the trail, miles from the car! $40 well spent.
Whats a chainring or chain cost these days?
I take my comment back, it is a lot easier and cheaper to get a bash guard than replace the chain and chain ring over and over again
