I only struggle with the first five skills you mentioned. Other than that, I'm pretty much a pro.

[pavilsalpe]

was i the only one who fell in love with his MTB bike?

[KoalaLumpUhr]

Trackstand: 100%
Wheelie: 10%
Bunny: 30%
Cornering: 60%
Endo: 80 % (~160°)

[GokkunGuru]

I can’t do a single one of those moves. By the end of this summer, I plan to learn all 5!

[williamkeys]

This should be called "Five things Scotty can do better than you."

[milkyjoe]

I attempted a wheelie on a down hill trail I fell and rolled 3 metres down the hill

[corentinoger]

So frustrating, I'm a 40 yo MTB beginner, and I can do 0/5. I still have great fun in the forest, though.

[enestahirozan]

bunnyhop is from another universe. and very different physics laws are in order

[mbp]

I struggle with all 5...😓 there is NO hope ..👈🏼👈🏼👎🏽👎🏽

[Bennydrift]

Learning BMX at 37... it's certainly not easy and thank you for the tips. I will be practicing

[nirmuns]

I can stand still for over a good minute I can 360 on a MTB I can bunny hop really high BUT I CANNOT WEELIE

[sheriwalton]

Hey guys! I'm very new to mountain biking and have greatly improved my skills thanks to your videos. One thing that i thought would be helpful is if you could provide a list of the tips at the end of the video so we can screenshot it for easy reference when we're out practicing.

Absolutely love you guys! Your videos are always very entertaining and educational but what i love best is the fun you have with each other... I'm always giggling out loud in random public places and people must wonder what I'm watching that's so funny. And watching you do what you holy cow i wish I'd started this 30 year ago! Much respect to all of you for your dedication to your craft!🚵‍♀️

The wheelie, I'll never get the wheelie! lol I can stoppie with confidence, trackstand for days, but the wheelie evades me.

[duckygoesquackquack]

I’ve been mountain biking for 5 years and I can’t do any of this 😗✌️

[tskorka]

Thanks Scott, you make it look easy! I just ordered a bmx to learn these skills. Super excited to get started..

[nateisright]
