56yo " beginner " here..haven't been on bike in over 20 years, acquired a Trek 820 for service award, using it for fitness, weight loss and fun...large guy loving the exercise...1st ride frightened me like a 5yr old learning..lol..2nd ride still haven't come up off the seat for anything..3rd, 4th..improvements daily...up off seat for rough areas, moving weight opposite turns, beginning to transfer weight..still haven't mastered pedaling while standing..(bike jerks, not smooth)..after 2 weeks haven't had it on trail yet..anyhoo..my point is, this video is more simple to understand than any of the others I have watched thus far. Awesome uploads on YT on MTB skills from many riders..however, you seem to put the info out that makes me anxious to get out and practice..thanks..new sub..

As someone who only learnt how to ride a bike 3 weeks ago (16 years old) and had a nice crash going down a fairly narrow path on a slight incline after about 3 hours of riding on my hardtaill, this video was a great help!

Thanks Phil I'm a 34 yr old total beginner and got a lil bike happy taking out mtn bike for first time on a steep, very narrow trail for my first time... and after a few almost falls and fails I biked home and found this video! I WILL conquer this trail soon but will practice these drills first lmao

Great Vid, used to be very agile on my BMX in my youth, but now i'm an oldie and I'm now getting into MB. You vid made me realise I have only been focused on tools and bike spec, I forgot I also need to re-learn this type of control to save on bruises and blushes! Thanks, you've gained a well deserved sub.

Cycled all my life, but always on road. Recently, after moving to Alberta, the spirit has struck me to go get a mountain bike and start playing in the Rockies.
Haven't even got the damn bike yet, but this video is making me drool for it!
Excellent video with great tips for a beginner, thanks!

Your explanations are getting better/more useful. Keep it up! Trying to ride my huffy more in anticipation of a new bike.

Fantastic video, thank you Phil! I started riding mountain bikes coming from a BMX background around 1998 and wish this video was available back then. I've learnt to do most of what's in here - the hard way, and the long way over time. It's a great refresher to watch, and I learnt a new trick too! Who says an old dog can't, haha.

Awesome sauce!! That was so useful!! I've been MTB riding for a couple of years now and I always get stuck at the same technical spot every time, at every trail. I always work strength and endurance, but never technique. All of the technique videos I've watched were way too technical so I never bothered. But this video really kept the skills attainable!! Thanks!!

This video was a major part in becoming a mountainbiker for me..
Thanks Phil!

Even though this video is 3 years old, I'm glad I tagged it & remembered to show it to my 8yo girl who just started mtb. Thanks a bunch Phil! 👍

[jeffgolden]

I really like this video as I am an older rider who got a late start to mountain biking. I will absolutely practice these skills. Thanks for the great content.

[fakebrake]

I love the help and humility. thanks Phil.
