When I really got into mountain bike racing back in the early 2000s, I knew it’d be key to understand how to corner fast. Trying to imitate how the motocross guys would train, I ended up doing lots and lots of cornering drills, usually on slippery surfaces, focusing on a technique that was repeatable, predictable, and fast. I’ve got a strong BMX background, so I figured, “Why not turn corners into a chance to pump the bike as well?” I can’t say that I have the “best” technique, as I’ve definitely seen a few other cornering styles that are just as valid, but this style has worked awesome for me over the years!
I have a full cornering tutorial here on my Patreon page, where I post monthly riding tutorials: / 27981205

As a bigger fella myself, great to see such participant in video👊🏼🚵🏽

I've found that if you are leaned over and weighting the tires properly, even if you do loose some traction, you tend to drift more controllably and once you get used to the feeling and learn to trust the bike.... That drift is FUN!!

Great stuff!

Great video! One huge thing hurting them is they aren't looking down the trail, especially Dustin. You can actually see them lift their head at the exit of the corner to look down the trail. I'd bet that's most of the reason Dustin kept riding off the outside of the turn.

Great vid. Some slow mo shots to see how you are supposed to shift your weight and body position during the turn would be great. Also, the text needs to be on the screen about 3x longer in order to be read.

Came here from The Loam Ranger's cornering video. Great advice in this video - thanks Jeff!

Great video! Coming from a lot of years of racing Motocross where weighting the front in corners is almost always a must, I would have never thought to pull back in the Apex. You can clearly see it working

It was real cool to see how after practicing that one tight left corner a bunch of times when they got to the slalom both of them were really good at the left turns but nowhere near as confident on the right turns. Was so clear how even that short amount of practice made a huge difference.

This is awesome! I would like more demo about “pumping”, but perhaps the others parts are more important.

Nice!! I'll be practicing these techniques on my next ride. Thank you for helping us all to be better riders!

Hit the trail yesterday after watching the video and added the techniques you've described for cornering. Immediate impacts in my MTB game. Thanks for all you do and producing great content.

Thank you! This just brought my cornering up to the next level. Never heard my tires rip corners like that, Wow!

hey jeff, thank you so much for making this, it was super helpful!!! i was practicing out on the trails today, never realized how much difference getting behind the seat would make. the turns felt smoother and like i could really push my bike through with my legs. still a long way to go but really grateful for your tips! and, to echo other folks' comments, it was incredibly helpful to see you coaching some other riders. when you ride you make it look way too easy! :)
