Thank you so much. Hope your daughter enjoys them! I’m starting a program in March with live webinars and an online drills catalogue, that may also be an amazing daddy-daughter-project. You’ll find the link in the pinned comment 😊 (and also a free Trackstand course)

Thank you 🙏 Yes, that absolutely is my motto. Teaching riders to feel safe and to find the type of riding that nourishes their souls.

Well done Martin 😍😍😍 so so happy to hear!

I LOVE this. Thank you ❤ sending my love to you ❤

Thank you so much! If you'd like to work with my methodical drills, that you can set up right on your doorstep, check the pinned comment - also: on my site you can get a free track stand course. I believe you may like it ☺ (and it will save you a lot of time searching = more time practicing drills that bring results)

Thank you, Deepa! Must be an exciting job and so valuable for our earth 😍

How fertile is Martian basalt/red dirt?

Thank you Lieb - we’re so excited to have you joining our program starting in March 😍🙏

Thanks 🙏😍😍

Thank you so much - give my love to the kitties 🩷

Have fun! I believe your whole family would also love my skill up challenge starting March 15th, as I have many levels for each skill.

Have fun! And if you want dozens of levels more- join my program starting March 15th 😍 it’s going to be so much fun!

Thanks John 🙏

❤ thank you. So honored to hear I’m more interesting than a helicopter with a Berni inside 😅

So happy to hear. So happy to see you've joined my program, too! I believe you'll like it

Thank you Flo 🙏 Agree so much! Thanks for your email. Hope you join my program - I won’t be able to repeat it again this year, as I am currently fully booked until April of next year (2025) - but you can rewatch the webinars 24 h after the live date and you have 4 extra months of access to the drills - so I hope to see you there 😍🙏 I believe you’ll like it very much.

Done ! See you (or your recorded self) later this month!

Actually, it’s most seemingly simple drills that bring the VERY big changes. All truly expert riders and truly expert coaches I have met in my life will say it’s all about perfecting the fundamentals and never getting tired of polishing them. Did you learn with or without my free Trackstand course?

@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire I watch as many of your videos as I have time for, and sometimes come back to parts of them over and over as I'm learning. It's good that they're on youtube or I'd wear them out🤣

@@laramiegrinde9246 awesome. If you start working with me with my online courses, you will get lifelong access to step by step DRILLS and by doing them, you will build the skills. Especially with a history of concussion, working on your balance in a structured manner is key for control and fun on trails!

Happy to hear!

🙏😍

That’s because I’ve spent a lot of time making it look easy. 😊 Practice brings progress and you can do it too! All you need to do is follow my proven drills. My program starts on the 15th and I’d love to see you there 😍😍😍 Let’s get there together!

So great to hear, Marju. In case you haven’t seen my new skills challenge, I think you’ll love it 😊 as a vip patron I’ll gladly give you a discount - simply send me an email 🩵

Happy to hear 🙏 💪😍 If you want dozens of exercises and a step by step structure to turn the knowledge you learnt yesterday into bodily ABILITIES= which means that you don’t only KNOW what you should do, but that you’ll be able to automatically DO it, then I’d love to welcome you to my program starting March 15th We have over 70 fun drills for you set up with the flick of a wrist on your doorstep, to allow you to practice regularly and in a structured manner. you’ll see it’s an absolute game changer if you don’t just practice one day, but regularly with increasing difficulty! 🎉🎉🎉 We have the program in English and German ❤

Thanks John!

💪😍 well done for practicing!! And thanks for sharing 😍

Thank you, so happy to read! Have fun practicing!

The line exercise is mostly training your balance, orientation and how to use your upper body and knees - the vision is just a side part, and you can also practice this in different inclinations - that’s an advanced level that I teach in my programs and courses. Why I recommend NOT to use the brake is that you are then not developing the finesse needed in the soles of your feet and ankles, which are essential for control on trails. See these videos: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcejg7eG2ry5cqc.htmlsi=ljabBfrsD3TjbSNT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM2Ul8iY26raqok.htmlsi=g5jUUFanXHN83lx5

Thanks for the reply. We all have our thoughts on how to ride and ride better. Every little message can be helpful. Personally I would always go for brake control over no brakes, moves your body to a more representative position and get you used to what suspension does under load and dynamic load. As kids we used brakes, we had the chance to ride track bikes too and it's a different skill, especially as we had toe straps back then too! (I am old, nearly 50!)

@@MyBetsieAwesome - then I suggest to play around with both - or take the easy way and join my program - it'll skyrocket your skills to have more variety 🙂

​@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Thanks, We did track stands as kids, my passion is going fast (slow really but I keep kidding myself) and riding technical stuff. There are some videos on my youtube of me riding, not many but a few. One of the biggest things that's overlooked for older riders is bad posture due to sitting at a desk for 30 years!!! We tend to not be flexible, and have rounded shoulders, sore knees and immobile ankles! Add in some extra sandwiches and pies at lunchtime and the poor body is in for some punishment when riding (I fit many of them along with a large list of injuries from training laps, luckily my weight and fitness are good as I am a decently competitive racer). What would your 3 favourite gym exercises be to advance someone's riding if you only had a resistance band?

@@MyBetsieTrue! That's why I offer a flexibility course specifically for mountain bikers and why I am currently working on a body weight program with a physiotherapist, also specifically for cyclists. In my 4 week program, linked in the pinned comment, we'll also include a strength training session with body weight and optionally resistance bands. If you join, you'll find out which are my three faves ;-)

Happy to hear Mindy. No but I have the condensed form and many more drills in my skill up challenge starting tomorrow - if you send me an email I can still give you access. The first webinar is in 20 hours 🤗 you’ll find the link in the pinned comment. So happy to hear you enjoyed the fundamentals and found it helpful. 🩵

Awesome ⚡️⚡️

Thank you, your comment truly means a lot to me. Agree so much 💕🙏 If you meet someone, feel free to share my Trackstand course with them, it’s free, but priceless 😊

Well done 😍 Have fun practicing!

Awesome Izabela! Then I recommend starting with my Trackstand course. It will improve your balance and bike handling immensely - which will take your confidence and control to a whole new level 😍 Here it is: roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy It’s normally a one-time payment of €44, but it’s for free if you register for my mailing list on the page. What matters is to PRACTICE - because we don’t learn movements by watching 😊

​@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire i can track stand just had injuries on the left side of my body, so need better coordination wich i fix in the gym👍 but thanks

Thank you. It’s never too late 😍 grateful to have you here NOW! Ps my oldest client is 84 and he is crushing it 😍😍

Hey Sirios, thank you so much for your comments. 🙏🙏 You didn’t need to delete them - I’m always open for discourse - as it provokes growth 🙏 I agree so much - mountain biking is NOT only about riding fast, doing stunts or riding tech. For some people (and also for me on some days) it’s about enjoying the scenery (on a bike that happens to be a mountain bike) - and that’s OK. Who is anyone to declare what „real“ mountain biking is, right? I also believe the socials desensitize us and the image of mtb on socials is not what it actually is in real life - that’s what I see in my daily skills coaching job, too. In my podcast I address these topics much deeper: www.podcastics.com/podcast/roxys-ride-inspire-rawcast-mountain-bike-mindset-podcast/ I think you may enjoy it - especially the last episode and the one about „social media“. I think you are open to learn, being here commenting with over 70 is impressive. And inspiring. Hats off to you, seriously. Riding a bike with over 70 and even clicking on this video shows there’s a spark in you open to learn. Do you HAVE TO practice these skills? Nope. Will practicing them help you age slower and improve your security even on super easy gravel roads or even tarmac? Absolutely 😊😊 Much love to you! Roxy

Sorry Roxy , but i'm being honest in saying i really don't have any interest in learning new skills . my riding pals and i just cruise around the forest on logging roads and then into a village for a coffee before returning home 😂 that's enough to keep the inevitable at bay for a short amount of time . i use to ride crazy stuff like the fire trails in marin county in the late fifties , sixties and seventies and bit of single track in the santa barbra mountains in the eighties . after that i had zero interest in the way modern mountain biking has become . my skills after 70 years on a bike are more than adequate for how i ride today . now you see why i deleted my post . it just wasn't in line with what your are teaching and i don't have the right to impose my old man views on those that want to learn the present day version of MTBing .all the best to you and your students .

@@siriosstar4789that’s lovely. I’m so grateful to hear there are people out there who know what they enjoy and are honest and authentic enough to share it. Thank you for that 🙏 It’s absolutely ok if you don’t want to learn - if that type of riding is what nourishes your soul and you don’t want to improve your coordination - then that’s absolutely ok 😊 I’m just sharing that these exercises will help way beyond riding - but that doesn’t mean you need to do them 😊 Thank you for being respectful to my teachings too. Enjoy the coffee and keep sharing the love for finding what kind of riding you enjoy - that’s gold. Much love to you, R

Haha 😂

All gear I wear is from ENDURA 😊 And if you sign up on their website today then you can win a full kit worth €250 - I’ll post the link in the next comment 😊😊

Yes, every rider with the coordination and balance skills required to ride technical trails can and should be able to do it. That is - if you want to ride technical Trails safely. If you can already do it: awesome! BUT: try it first. Because it looks easy, but many people can't do it.. So try it and if you're good - then great! If not, then practice the drills in this video and you'll feel it on many levels. I promise!

I am 72 years old a I mountain bike. I started at 69 years old when I retired. You can stick to beginner level trails or walk through difficult sections. Watching Roxy's you tube channel is a good idea. She has dedicated this channel to teaching riders how to ride and progress in a safe manner. She is brilliant and compassionate. She is the best mountain biking coach on KZfaq.

@@martinschwartz7342 really, WOW 👍

@@martinschwartz7342 mountain biking in Colorado is a whole different ballgame though lol

Hey Beck - so so great you don’t want to get hurt 😍 that’s exactly what my channel is about. If you practice these exercises I promise you’ll feel safer even if you use a mountain bike on gravel roads - and the exercises are fun. So why not give them a try? On my page you’ll also find a free Trackstand course, which originated in track cycling - so it’s a handy skill for any type of riding. Practicing this type of coordination exercises is especially important at an advanced age, as it keeps the brain and body young and prevents injuries of all types. Much love to you! Roxy

Hey you’re never too old to learn& improve to be able to ride green & blue trails! I’m 65 & working to not slow down. I did do BreckEpic 6 yrs ago! There’s a trail out there for everyone!

True - If you apply all the skills I share in this and my other videos, you can safely dismount at all times - even if someone does come 🙂

Why so? 😊
