  • Mountain Biking is awesome! We want more people to find out how fun it is! Blake realised that despite having a career in MTB, he's never actually taught his partner Jen any skills? Until now!🤘

    Blake, you are awesome. I love your energy and content.
    Way to go Jen!!! No stupid question. I had the same questions. The foot placement is very important to be able to lean your heels back.
    Blake you are an awesome example of a top rider that can show and teach people.
    Loved your cut to you editing and correcting your mistake.
    Way to go!!! I was stoked when Jen did the plank on the ground.
    I ride with my GF. She’s way better than me and she takes the time to teach me also.
    Cheers and keep it coming.
    Ps: I ride a hardtail because of your videos and showcase like megavalanche

    Blake we need to see how Jen progresses. It's pretty cool to have someone of your calibre representing the absolute novice. Because to be fair you guys can be pretty intimidating to someone who doesn't have a clue.
    Damn handy that your student just happens to be your Mrs. This could unlock so much fun for potential MTBers. I'm gonna follow your tips and try to get my wife out with me and our sons. I shall forward the link for this to her as well to follow.

      My partners mountain biking now. Crap equipment was the biggest turn off in the beginning.
      Get a good fitting bike with wide bars and modern "slacker" geo, hire if you have to so they dont get a bad impression.
      The 2008 XC bike in my shed had narrow bars and was very steep, and while it was CF, light and was well tuned, once we started pointing downhill it put her off alot. A similar year giant trance/reign was night/day for her enjoyment as the bike felt that much safer for her even though it was heavier.
      "inspiring confidence" is critical for a beginner, as anything that makes it feel unstable is really disconcerting, and more modern bikes do that in spades.

    thank you for posting a video showing a beginner learning. I'v been missing being able to teach people to mtn bike this season so far. this video absolutely made my day. thank you to posting this and thank you Jen for allowing us to see you progress. i was smiling ear to ear and cheering for you with every skill you learned. especially when you started to get the straight line riding :)
    I'm going to live vicariously through this series to get my "teaching fix" until i can get back to teaching people myself.
    such an uplifting video. wishing you both tons more fun while riding, take care
