Essential Skills You Can Practice Anywhere!
Obstacle Course
Set yourself an obstacle course to make a circuit. This will help you practice slow speed skills, trials and balance. All essential for Mountain Biking!
Manuals
The manual is a vital mtb skill that everyone should know. It's great to use out on the trails to get over obstacles and pump jumps.
Wheelie
Like the manual the wheelie is an essential skill you can use everywhere on the trails. It will help with your balance and getting over obstacles.
Challenge Your Mates
Challenging yourself and your mates is the best way to practice these essential skills. Set each other challenges and see who comes out on top!
Hill Climb
This will help with putting down the power on your bike and getting up steep climbs!
Trackstand
This one you can do literally anywhere. All about getting your balance and getting used to the bike moving around underneath you.

haahahaha! to ride bikes like a pro you need to be fit as a soldier, no jokes. so go and ride to the park get some calisthenics done eat good not coke and fry chicken... sleep, drink plenty water and the most important ride the bike and have fun! don´t let the bike take you to a ride. if we are not mentally physically fit like a pro, we wont be able to make it, BUT if you see your self as a pro and you know you could get there whit some help YOU WILL GET THERE I got 190 days riding and it is very nice too start doing wht you wht to actually do 😉😎 I haven´t practice much crazy stuff because I does not have a healmet as jet, as I get one... Bro I will start getting the manual and welies bunny hoops etc. you need legs protection, I home made mine and it´s just so cool.
