Can you make a video explaining what does the pro's do when they go flat out in tech sections? like why & how they turn with the knees, pre turns, turning with the back wheel, hip hinge, etc?

Just rode really fast on an icy road (I guess something like 24km/h (=15mph for my friends over the water))...
I went flat out on my face 😕
It was awesome!

I’ve been to Dyfi and it’s so good It’s super fast and got great views. Would recommend for anyone visiting north Wales

Living on a flat land, the only way i can go fast is by lots of training, or some tailwind :D

What do you mean Blake: "trees don't move"? I've certainly encountered my fair share of ninja-trees that have leaped out in front of me🤕🥴

Please Canyon Stoic against Nukeproof Scout. This would be so interesting.

Haha going at 30mph when my brake pads (rim brakes 😟) finally gave out was a bit of a dodgy moment, took me back to the days of not knowing why there was these levers on the handlebars of my bike when I was 4

I always find that I go way faster when I a, having a bad day or not feeling great. Try to anchor to a bad memory and you will send everything harder!

[jonathanbrown]

[katcmurphy]

[kingsamoflange]

Great video guys. Blake gotta say you are funny af.

[MVarelDE]

I love how blake fully controlled his bike while still using flat pedals

[ethanbenton]

If your going through a generally smooth section and you see maybe some roots or rocks coming,
unweighting the bike or even hopping over them can allow you to keep your speed up nicely.
