You do such a great job of breaking everything down into understandable elements. You are also amazing at seeing little adjustments to April's style that ends up having a big impact.

I had been trying to shed my motorcycle riding habits that transferred reasonably well to road bike descents, and could never figure out in my head what exactly to change on mtb turns. I understood the physics of how the motorcycle takes so much more torque to get it to lean over and turn, but couldn't get my body and style to adjust to the lighter mtb. The way you break it down makes it click for me. On a local burm-y downhill, sessioning and reviewing your vid in between runs helped cut 30sec off a 4min descent - and I honestly thought I went slower at the end because I was still focusing on technique.

This one was a big effort! Thank you all for your patience and for being so supportive with these videos. We went over a ton of information in this one so we broke it all down into chapters incase you guys want to do some extra review. Let us know what you think, this was a really cool one to work on with April and its been fun to see how much her corner speed has improved from this day of practice! Let us know if you have any questions or if this helps you out at all :)

"Look for success. Don't try to look for failure." -Kyle Warner
Words to live by both in mtb and life!

[VelkePivo]

Yours are easily the best how-to MTB vids I've seen, and I've seen many (I need a lot of help). Thank you.

[enduros]

As a long (long) time mtb rider, and now a senior, I find your videos awesome refreshers to correct bad habits - and learn new tricks/styles to make my riding not only safer, but more fun. The way you break the routines down, along with the (a picture is worth a thousand words) appropriate graphics, are done so well. Congrats and keep the tutorials coming!

[jimmyjohns]

Man, Kyle is a beast at shredding and April's progression in incredible

[lespaulvargas]

Find someone who stares at you the same way April stares at Kyle when he's explaining

[roddas]

Now I understand why April is such a badass and not scared to have a go. She rides moto.

So something that helped me in a big way is the understanding of shared wheel traction between cornering a braking. The reason you want to control your your braking before a corner is that you share your wheel traction on the tire that is doing the cornering and then if you are braking. If you don't brake you don't share traction and all of the available traction is in your cornering. If you have to brake while cornering, then you are stealing your shared traction from your cornering traction.

Seriously dude, you have to open up schooling for mtb skills development with April. Your detailed explanation really help us a lot. My wife and I are also starting to hone our skills. Great job both of you.

K: Great teacher that makes every points short and clear.
A: Quick learner with “just do it” spirit.

My all time favourite MTB tutorial channel👍👍

10:38 "Look for success, don't look for failure"
This is hit me, I'm always "looking out" for issues and I either ride into them or lose so much speed avoiding them.

[mk]

“Look for success and not for failure.” Great advice!

Another absolutely helpful tutorial with all the important elements covered. One aspect that really drives your video apart from all other ones in trying to explain a how-to skill, is that yours just doesn't tell your viewers what to do, but provides a thorough explanation as to why it's done this way. Thank you for this 👌 video. Really love every single one you guys have done together. - huge fan!

[eljugo]

We all need someone who looks at us the way April looks at Kyle. Amazing. Keep up the good work!

[MrDefiant]

I found for me its the most deep and technical "how to" on whole YouTube. Thanks you for these videos, it's help me alot

Best place to be away from crowds during covid with tons of fun, MTB trail riding.

I came to mountain biking after years of racing motor bikes on the track. For the first few months I’d wash out in corners, it was doing my head in. It wasn’t until I “unlearnt” my moto technique that the wash outs became less frequent. Thank you for every one of your videos. I often watch one before I head out and use it as my skill focus for the ride.

[merrittsquared]

I like when you said : "Try to look where you want to go; look for success. Don't try to look for failure and it will help a lot." It shows that mountain biking skills can apply to areas of life as well. You guys are MTB Guru's. Thanks for such good content!

I and I’d say most of the viewers really appreciate this series. Even though some of us have ridden for years it’s great having these videos to kind of put our technique back in check and get rid of some bad habits. Looking forward to the next video!
