Take Your Trackstands To The Next Level!

- I've never taught the trackstand this way before, but recently I realized that I'm doing something extra when I balance on my bike. I lift and move my wheels to get even better control and balance on the bike, and in this video, I'll show you how to learn this technique. You can add it in to your trackstands to improve them, but this skill works for a lot of other elements of mountain biking, too!

Settling the bike into little dinks or soft spots in the trail adds to stability. It also pays to get angled across the slope, if you have space, to give you something to lean into. Walking the wheels like you’ve shown is critical to finding a “comfortable” place to trackstand.
Top tip: it’s often easier to learn trackstands on softer surfaces, like the lawn, as it slows things down and the wheels get cradled by digging in a little. Once sussed, get on a hard surface as that is trickier as the bike wants to roll away. Ultimately, regardless of where, it’s the time put in that matters.
Great advice, I couldn’t agree more!
That front wheel lift took me so long to understand, even when I thought I was back I wasn't.
The 30 days of skills got me working on it a lot and now I'm much better at it. It felt like the secret was pushing from my feet rather than my hands to get back and lift the front (even though it's both), subtle differences in thinking about movement sometimes change so much!
I've been thinking about this a lot lately - I see a ton of references to pushing with your feet, or rotating your feet back. It's an interesting way to explain it. I wanted to see what would happen if I kept my body in place and just rotated my ankles on the pedals, and I realized it's not really about your feet so much as forcing function to get your body back. Always interesting to see how people break down and explain skills.
This is great, thanks. My buddy is able to swing his rear tire around on really tight switchbacks and I’m determined to learn how. So far I’ve been doing switchbacks with a near track stand approach but moving the rear wheel around adds another layer of important trail skills.
Thanks, glad it was helpful! Here's a link to a video about pivoting around switchbacks if you want to check it out: czcams.com/video/ZVHBmjFjq-4/video.html
Remember practice makes pain
When u do the rocking,need to hold the brakes?
Yes. If you let the brake slip it kills your momentum.
Try it without and you will see😂
100k subscribers soon. Miss trials videos tho
We are on our way! Did you see the last video? Got a new Crewkerz frame!
Has this something to with my body weight or is this totally independent from it? Thanks and greetings from Germany. Great work - Great channel.
Thank you! Bodyweight shouldn't make any difference - it may actually help if you're using it to offset the balance of the bike. You can "unweight" which is moving your bodyweight away from the part of the bike that you want to lift.
Random Q: what's your height and what size bike you rockin? I'm assuming you have 27.5s
I’m 5’11”, this bike is a size Large, and the wheels are 29”. The geometry is dialed in, it feels just as nimble as my 27.5 frame was!
@@SuperRiderTV thank you, I'm dreaming of a Marin Rift Zone and I can go either small or medium (29), hence the question
I see you use a soft tail is it any different on a hard tail?
I personally think it’s easier on a hardtail, less weight and you don’t have to deal with the rear suspension. There’s a hardtail specific tutorial on this channel, too!
