most of the mountain bike skills that you are presenting, i either learned it from riding bmx freestyle, bmx racing or just mucking about on my bicycle in my local trails. being presented as a step by step guide such as your series made me realize how many steps it takes to do something that i've learned naturally (by observing closely and trying them out myself). this made me appreciate the risks that i took when i was younger learning and trying out these skills.
Just wiped out yesterday trying to take a high rock. Able to do it 1st time, didn’t lift enough 2nd time. Fell. Thanks for this educational video. Will go back and practice, practice. . .
Great tips on skills needed. I am working on this. What I lack is power when climbing a rock garden especially when the trail is uphill and I’m already exhausted. Without strength, the skills aren’t much use except for single steps. Friends want me to go to the gym. 😭
great, but I wish someone would do a video for Weekend Warriors like myself for over 50 and can't do some of that crazy technical stuff, but want some simplified versions to get over obstacles
Popping up the rear tire and timing my pedal strokes is what I really need to work on. Right now it's a whole lot of me getting past one or two rocks and then either losing all momentum or bouncing my front tire off the next damn rock in the garden.
Great series :D keep them coming if you can, they are well done and easy to get the whole idea of something fairly quick. All the extra tips here and there really help too.
learning the american bunnyhop :D we've been doing the european style this whole time, but the american version gets more air and is better for obstacles on the trails :)
There is couple of rock steps/climbs on the tracks I just cant get up because you have to lift the wheel about a foot at the start of them and their already on a track which is climbing up so its a double whammy. any advice?
The correct force is what your looking for going up an obstacle, not the correct power. the force is a more instantaneous term proper for the slow speeds, power is the measure of the effectiveness of that applied torque on the crank arm. Power is a good term to compare real effort on an uphill ride with some distance rather than a short hop over an obstacle.
After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working czcams.com/users/postUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.
+Mark Guillermo Yes you can. In fact, I'd argue it's easier. Practice just the back wheel for a while. It's dead easy. What you do is you push your weight forward, angle toes downward and try to lift the back wheel. No brakes no nothing. Just move your weight in front, toes down and scoop the back wheel. You'll probably get it first try.
No issues with assembly for me czcams.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Same here.
as a roadie with massive fitness but crappy technical skills I find this very useful
Great tips. Thanks for going out your way guys on posting these tutorial videos.

Ex moto in the 70's this is a great technique to help my speed, thanks
Very good video, there's a trail I've been having problem with and I will give it a go.
Thank you for the knowledge awsome video you guys really helping me to get better

Rock step what are you planning? X3
learning the american bunnyhop :D

:D that's awesome X3 I can't even hop lol
I was always bad at it, but practice really gets you closer to doing it properly. It is difficult to learn. I need tons of practice too. lol :)
I need tons X2 X3
Good work guys
Nice man
Greta tips very practical
Great Video, I was wondering if Matt was riding clipless pedals?
why is your helmet strap loose? doesn't your helmet come off loose when you hit a rough patch of trail or maybe get thrown off the bike?
are those 27.5 wheels?! whoa
thanks man
I put my right pedal higher up and i pedal as hard as i can while pulling up on the bike and i can get up rocks np
Sheesh. Maybe I can finally handle curb hops.
thanks man is very useful
Nawin Sapchinda Glad you found helpful.
What size and tire is that? I have a Genesis Overkill 27.5 I'm looking at upgrading
About the strong foot...it is a 50% increase upon learning to use the other foot also.
There is couple of rock steps/climbs on the tracks I just cant get up because you have to lift the wheel about a foot at the start of them and their already on a track which is climbing up so its a double whammy. any advice?
I already learnt it
can you do this without the pedal lift but instead using a manual ?
opening song?

What shoes are he using? Seem light and sharp... anybody knows at least the brand! Thx
Great video! what shoes do u wear?

gj bro

thanks, but how do I descend Horsethief Bench in Fruita?
“...open up new lines...” That’s my kinda talk.

Wish i was 20 years againg to do mtb...i'm 48..
Very good teaching video nearly ruined by the music being too loud.
What shoes was he wearing here? Is that a five ten Danny MacAskill?
can someone tell me what fancy gadget he use to raise the seat
Kurt Kenehan at 0:45
Kurt Kenehan It's a hydraulic dropper post, probably a RockShox Reverb. Incredibly handy for transitioning between climbs and descents.
that so cool thanks for the info
i knew it, magic works wonders
+Kurt Kenehan its a dropper seatpost
But ur on a full sus bike so the damper moves you fovard. How to do that on a ht?
can I use this technique in hardtail bike?

0:10 What bike is that? The red one
Hallloooo, the camera is here! Not to the right! ;)
I dont know why i cant bunny hop. I tried on an bench after 1 week off practice but no no that just went fuckdup
I wonder what you *mean* by fuckdup
Sure, come to Costa Rica and try to teach us how -.-
youll get exhausted to apply that skill
i try all of the skill things and i always FAIL....
ya... me too. always fail in landing right and lifting the annoying back. why...............?
;(
Your helmet straps are in desperate need of washing...
Damn wash those gnarly helmet straps, its bad enough British people dont take care of their teeth, not you with your nasty helmet straps!
if so, why most of British people have bad teeth?
