    45 year old beginner here - the 'head up' just made a huge difference at the pump track for me. I felt like I had so much time through the turns. it felt really relaxed and stable but was absolutely faster. Thank you!

      I would have liked to see her ride it three times. One to see it, two to adjust, and then a third after having two run's worth of knowledge. THEN...have him give her the advice, and have her do 3 more runs, so that it takes trail familiarity out of the equation, and really illustrate how the change in technique made her faster. But....still, a great video, and those tips will make her faster everywhere!

    Yoann, Christina, Pemby, Spring 2022 and life is good. Thx for making this video, Yoann does a really good job of explaining all the fundamentals I've heard before but makes them way easier to understand. Christina soaks up the knowledge and demonstrates the techniques with the cameras rolling, great job! Theres so many nuggets of riding wisdom from Yoann in this I'm definitely going to watch it few times. I really like the ones about the "millions of different corners"

  • @Twentykixx
    @Twentykixx Před 2 lety

    The commitment to examine your riding faults and exercise those changes in the stream are what sets pros above most. If you tell yourself the line and the braking are here and there, and then actually hit those markers at speed, it’s really rewarding. I think for me the head up exiting the corner, or obstacle, changed my riding and I never looked back. The braking has always been before and then exit with speed, but I’m too dangerous about not caring and believe in myself to adjust to anything in a blind situation. How to adjust with pre-brake/visualization to a blind at speed safely without overthinking is what I got from Yo in this exercise. Thank you! 🤘🏼

      @ninjazzrhythm400 Před 2 lety

      Since getting on mountain bike scene, I notice that the industry are more focused on being light not on safety. Coming from Snow board and paintball, the sport over emphasized on safety. I'm always full gear. I learned my lesson from snow boarding to wear helmet at all times espcially being a beginner. On paintball, you have to have full gear because you slam your whole body on ground on purpose.
      I know these two are pro mountain bikers, but never once in this video they talked about safety! They wear their helmet, but that's about it. No body armor, knee pads, elbow pads. If you're a beginner not knowing anything, you try what these pros are doing, you'll have a rude awakening after you get your first injury. Our body isnt made to slam on anything hard going 15 mph+! you'll need the right gear to prevent or minimize injuries.
      If you ever watch friday fails, how many of those people you see wearing full gear on and they're trying things way above their skill level?

      @@ninjazzrhythm400 thanks bro.
      Yeah I wear a good Helmet Bell R2 MIPS, IXS X-Matter knee and elbow, been riding since I was tiny, guess I'm atleast 25 years into propper mountain biking, some bmx, flatland, skateboarded for like 6 years, had my fair share of injurys, snowboarder a couple of seasons too. Never have I busted a collate bone before, but sadly there is not any body armour I know of (I work in the industry) that would protect a clavicle.
      Done my elbow, got landed on in the park and off peast on the snow, ankle on the skateboard, wrist and concussion on bmx, and pelvis a few years back on mtb.
      Injury was a random pedal strike at the entrance to a trail I've run litterally a hundred plus times, so go figure. Just shit luck at less than 15kph and did a full otb flip to back if sholder as 1st point of impact.
      Is there anything in the snow sports or paintball sector that can protect upper body and clavicle?
      I was already planning to get better protection for some local trails and bigger bike parks, impact shorts, knee/shin and a upper body armor, helmet is already EWS compliant, but maybe even a really full face lid.
      Very difficult to find gear that fits when you're a 6'4", 235lb gorilla! 🦍😂
