Good points there! I think in the 2nd clip Jackson hit the turn so fast he lost grip on the rear and that's why he got a little bit off balance, which caused his left foot to unclip. Not the other way around.

Anyway, what a run. The way he made a rhythm section of that rock garden was so cool.

Just did this channel for the first time today and love this analysis. Can’t say I’ve found anyone else who does it like this so thank you. Always wondered about the knee sticking out on turns out over bumps with DH and Enduro riders. Seems a thing clipless riders can do. Hard to replicate on flats although when I apply pressure with my feet to more of the outside of the pedals I find it is similar. Thoughts?

Just got into watching DH racing this year. Nice to watch this to get a better idea of what the racers are doing right and wrong. Thanks for doing this!

This is best coach talk through ever, why you don't do it more?

Really nice video right here, keep it up!💪

I love the work here Allen and you have some great points . I must say with all due respect, I think Jackson's cornering is actually beyond what most MTBers can understand about carving. If you watch carving disciplines such as snowboarding, skiing and even water skiing, there is moment of 100% commitment to the turn that defies the technique involved in the actual change of direction. Jackson is hurling his body into the fall line and is depending on the carving tool (his bike) to catch his weight and change his direction. He does this better than most that have ever ridden an mtb. He's actually beyond what 99% of the biking world can do or even understand from a traditional MTB stand point; him and a few others are tapped into another level that will redefine cornering a MTB at the highest level. Just my two cents and I hope you don't my HO. Please keep these coming, you have a great eye for it.

Great analysis! Jackson’s super power is that he can screw up and then seamlessly recover with very minimal penalties. Seems like many other riders bobble then recover less smoothly killing their momentum. He’s small and light which allows him to float over so many obstacles- can you compare his style to other riders like Greg Minnaar? I thought the conventional wisdom was that you needed some mass to quickly pick up speed - small riders would have a harder time, but this definitely doesn’t apply to Jackson. Thx!!

2:02 min he is swinging inside because the rear wheel drifted out and you have to restable it with repositioning your body. So for me its nice to see how fast he is doing this.

Jackson’s body position through the rocks is so much more composed than Loris’s.

Not sure if those upper corners are representative of his riding style, it seems like he’s a bit overly eager there and manages to calm down when entering the woody sections.

Keep in mind he’s still a young kid perfecting his racecraft..

Those races shouls be all in one down, motorcycles are 3 times heavier and faster and they start all at the same time.

I couldn't stomach watching the constant pausing, and the subsequent criticism of Goldstone essentially destroying this track. From the couple minutes I did make it through, I learned this - technique isn't the be all, end all, when you ride like, and put up numbers like Goldstone did in that run.

The presentation of the content isn't interesting enough to warrant the frequency of ads.

I like the part where you told us that the fastest man in the world right now doesn’t have good technique. Maybe you could race against him and show us.
