  • This was a trail in Whistler I'd wanted to ride but I was terrified to ride. There was a beautiful feature called Green Monster, about 25ft long 53-degree angle slab. The forest was full of monsters. Can see defeat the monsters and survive from the forest?

    Hahahaha we use the term "sketch points". It started way back in the 80s when we were all bmx and skateboarders and still holds quite true. When you use up your sketch point, you crash! Awesome to see someone else coin a similar system :)

  • @norquay626
    @norquay626 Před 3 lety +1

    Yuka you are one of the bravest mountain bikers I've ever seen. Keep it up. On the turning thing, you've just got too much weight on your handle bars. You need to get more weight over your pedals....just a little bit. When you have too much weight on your handle bars, it makes it almost impossible to turn or to react to sudden turns. When you can, move your weight on the easier parts, including flats, a little bit back and then forward again multiple times. You'll start to feel where your weight it and it will become easier to move it around while you are riding. I think Eric will understand this and should be able to show you as well. Anyway, keep it up from Calgary

  • @mustclime5311

    Hey Yuka, love your vids! Been thinking about your trail bike on enduro trails. You should have your hubbie put a 160mm air shaft in your fork. Increasing the travel on the fork should slacken your bike head angle a little. I really think that would help your riding on the trails you ride.

    Great video Yuka.... if I may give you one riding tip it to make those corners.... it would be to increase your body rotation.... sticking your but out to the left or right to counterbalance the bike will help you make those corners.... twisting your body to point your knees, belly button and shoulders around the corner you want to make..... have fun!

    Love your videos, Yuka! Quick question - I'm looking to upgrade my bike and it seems only 29ers are out there! I love steep rolls (like the Green Monster) but I'm 5"5' and am afraid I'll always be buzzing my butt with 29ers. Are you still buzzing your bum constantly or have you figured out how to avoid that? Cheers!
