#GMBN can never make too many skills good to have some bite size refreshers and/or newbie focused stuff. Neil's vids are always great as they never sound patronising or too technical. A good balance.

[ChrisKim-eoku]

Honestly one of the biggest revelations of body movement for me was the act of pumping or driving the bike into relatively short corners. I never knew I could keep up or even gain speed by doing that!

[underbikedoverconfident]

I was amazed how much off bike daily stretching and strengthening of the hips helped my riding. Before I started doing it I didn't actually have enough hip mobility to (try and) implement this kind of guidance.

These shorter but informative videos are very nice reminder focusing on a specific topic. Enjiying them a lot.

Keep 'em comin'. Danish winter is perfect time for practicing skills.

Excelent video for a rookie like myself. Many thanks and good rides

I do find the cornering movement tricky, I was washing out a lot, it’s completely the opposite to riding a motorcycle, which I do everyday…but having seen the technique on your other videos it’s made a hell of a difference to my mtb riding

[dadventuretv]

I love pumptracks for practicing body position. Good place to turn it into muscle memory.

[jackcook]

I love watching your videos they help me so much

[chty]

The putting the bike side ways while cornering made a MASSIVE difference in my riding. It's insane lol

[hanslidlwagen]

Now all I need is building up my confidence and access to trails. This pandemic has severely limited my practice. Not to mention I currently have covid. Also, we're going into another lockdown.

[hecticharry]

Love your videos so much do you have any good budget full suspension mtbs

[janryenineza]

What size of Canyon Spectral does Neil use? Thanks
