How to corner on a Mountain Bike. (no nonsense bike skills)

Показать описание

Not only will I explain "How to" but more importantly the "Why" do any of this at all. What is the purpose of your actions? Riding thru flat turns with two wheels drifting is one of most exhilarating experiences you can have. I will show how master this skill in this video.

I have a doubt. When I get in neutral position and hit the corner I can control more the bicycle. When I do the 6, 12 position I can’t control that well BUT I see you throw your body the opposite way of the bicycle when hitting the curve. I think that is the step I’m missing.

Also, should I drop my post?

This is the type of content needed in the MTB industry 🙌

Best no nonsense explanation right here with simplified solution. Nice!

This is especially great advice for those of us whose idea of a fun ride doesn’t necessarily involve a high probability of bleeding.

Wish most of the teachers at school had this sense of humour, makes learning much easier... Thanks for the tips.

Wow. Straight forward & on point. No bs, and clear instructions. I replayed it over and over, love the video and tricks!! Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing.

Excellent video. Your are the first who explained it based on physics. Very useful!

back in the 60’s long before mountain bikes, we as kids used to amuse ourselves with those counter steered sliding turns on our stingrays, after hosing down a friends painted driveway. Then it became a game of who could skid sideways the farthest, so we opened the garage door so we had more room to work with. Years later that saved me when my motorcycle lost traction in a curve on a cold wet morning. When you’re about to fall, countersteering is purely instinctive, no one taught us how.

Good pointers. For aggressive cornering leaning the bike more than your body really helps. It keeps the weight still on the tires and not falling towards the inside. So if you notice you slide too easily when following all of these pointers, lean the bike in more while keeping your body up over the bike. I see you doing exactly this in the video. Spot on technique.

I ride and race. videos like this are why i have progressed. i went from 21 out of 40( last years race season) to 9 out of 40( this years) by learning to corner. forget anything else! learn how to corner like a boss and carry speed out of the corner and you will be set.

Great advice! Another benefit of leaning the bike is that instead of riding the turn on the middle knobs, which are designed for rolling and braking, you use the side knobs which are designed for turning. Also, your tires will wear more evenly and last longer. $$

Thank you for the Why! And I like what your shared about to use the ears too. Its like hearing how beautiful drifting is. Good job!

Very helpful. I have been looking for this guidance for a while now.

Thanks for explaining that. I've been seeing this on the occasional youtube channel and didn't understand why it was being done. Neat tool. I'll add that to the box.

That was both entertaining and educational. It never came to my mind to actively decrease the lean. I always did lean max. So thank you very much for your video 🤙
