please more of these tips!!!

Little tip: keep making vids like these! Every time you give tips to anyone we use 'em on the trails afterwards. I practiced the tips you gave Mike Levy on Pinkbike and it upped my technique by a solid gap. Love u broski great job!

Yay! Some 'how to' vids - nice one Brendan ... keep these pearls of wisdom coming, they're helping us mere mortals have more confidence and ride safer on the trails. I've had 3 'offs' in the past 3 weeks and as I'm in my mid 50's it doesn't half make your body zing and takes sooo much longer to recover than 20 years ago. Loving your channel and learning a lot, cheers man!

Great demonstration and analysis... you really should do more tutorials. I’d love to hear your thoughts and demos on jumps, manuals, etc, etc...

Thanks for the tips Brendan! Loved it.

Yeah man there are bikes everywhere right now it’s mint seeing the little kids out there so much!... keep it up people! & Brendog it’s been mint on lockdown watching all the vids of you & other riders entertaining us all!..... that “brad” effect of you guys as you hit & exit burns is ausome could watch it all day!.... take it easy all ✌️

Thanks Brendan! I think of all the MTB vloggers, you got the best tunes!! ;)

"Lot safer, and more importantly lot faster" - that's how you become a PRO :D

He's such a good teacher. That is really helpful!

This is gonna be helpful I still suck at corners!

Can't wait to try these tips on the trails 🤟

Very good video man, keep up the good work !!

Great video! For sure would like to keep seeing stuff like this!

Keep making videos like this please. So helpful!

Nice I really struggle with ruts, saying that the struggle is generally with 200mm+ deep ruts, can't wait to get out and try these tips.

I grew up racing moto and just getting into mtb. There's no better feeling than a sick corner. Thanks for the videos and I can't wait to see sam pilgrim and matt Jones at your house 😎

Awesome video man - I'm a fan

love the video Brendan!! keep it up dude.

Railing berms and nailing ruts. Gotta love it.

Cheers Bren. After this I've realised my slowest time-sucking turns are mostly flat corners with ruts and I've been looking to hit them like a berm with flat feet. Will try shifting weight and dropping outside foot. And your upper body position is much more "square on" to the bike. Food for thought, so thanks.

Love it! More vids like this PLEASE!

Yuss! Right I watched the vid... Can't wait to go out tomorrow and instantly ride as good as the master blaster 😜 chur from NZ!

Sick video can’t wait to try 👌👌

You're the man brother 🤙

Yes dog! Sweet vid, more like this! 👊🏻

Great video bren 👍🏽

I have a hardtail 2021 trek i learned a lot on ruts and berms !!

"Rutts are not as predictable". My thoughts exactly! I always pap myself more on rutts, so easy to lose it out the top!

The fact that you name rat boy one of the best corner I'm the world made my day I feel like Josh doesn't get enough light how good he is. Sam hill is an absolute legend. But josh is just the quiet dude and definitely the goat in dh his style were the best and still are!

Rad edit! Super helpful too!

sick I need this!

Cheers for the tips Bren, any chance on some tips on jumping? 👍🏻

Wish i could roost like that

Mr. Fairclough that's the best' ish that I can put to immediate use on the topic of rutting/berming/cornering etc!! "Keep calm and carry on" - Srry for the bad British accent! Lol, Cheers Governor! - Mike from AZ

A vid I watched covered a major important point that, when done. Gets your knees, shoulder, and head, all aiming in the correct direction. Video is also a key item, so you can actually see how well you are doing it, and you can watch your progression. Question when you're in a turn and the bike slides out from under you, and you slam into the ground. What caused it? When riding straight, only the center of the tire is used, so what are those lugs on the outside for? Ok. The answer. We need to learn to lean the bike over through the turns. So when the bike slides, we stay on and slide with it vs the bike sliding out from underneath us. When we lean the bike, the big outside lugs get to dig in. When leaning, all of a sudden, your body position changes, causing your knees to aim in the correct direction. One arm will go straight, and the other will bend. All these body positions just happen. It is not something we force. What we force is learning to lay the bike over in heavy leans. Your outside pedal will be down gravity will be driving the inside lugs into the ground. Bingo, you now are shredding turns.

Great advices man! 👌

Great episode👍, thanks dog 🤘

Thank you man Helps a lot :)

awesome man thanks for this sorta struggling onn it

Great video Brendan. I noticed on the first slo-mo 2:31 of how to ride the rut that you pedaled backwards to set your feet up for the next rut. I do this sometimes and always think that I am doing something incorrectly because pedaling forward doesn't always seem like the safest thing to do but just figured I was inexperienced and couldn't set up the corners correctly. Could you talk about this a little?

every pro or instructor always says 'this is how you corner' and they usually show the bike aggressively angulated down with rider on top. i watch a lot of top riders (friends on rides and pros in videos) and a few ride like this but most don't. most are somewhere in between and some can lean the bike far and still not wash out. Brendan understands this!! mind blown.

The hair and mullet are getting there, I feel your pain :D Cheers for the tutorials.

Awesome, can’t wait for the backflip tutorial over a canyon.....😬

Just turned 54 ! Can smash it still ! Thanks for the tips.!

Excellent!

Love it!

Awesome shredder

Good tutorial!!! Fast ride) enjoy one ☝

Can you do a video on riding steep terrain? Loved this video!

Pushing the outside foot down was definitely a good idea. I tried it today on my local dh trails and it was so much faster

Berm tip goes against what I’ve seen on other vids…guess everyone’s got their own technique eh? More tutorials please! 🤘

Great Vid Brendan and love you gloves, they look well sick! What are they?

Well explained mate!! Cheers

Its a mental game as well. Gotta be confident in the grip, in the exit, etc. All comes with practice

Your the best brendog

More in-depth skill videos like this!

Going to be joining my first race series this July so these will be very helpful

Love the vid Brendan. Quick question about looking ahead: How far ahead are you looking on the trail? I've been trying to practice looking ahead and keeping my head up but it's hard at high speed when my eyes just want to go the obstacle or jump that the front wheel is about to roll over. Does becoming comfortable looking further ahead on the trail something that just comes with practice or is there something I should be doing differently? I always feel a little fearful to look too far ahead as I might miss something I'm about to roll over and have it toss me off the bike. Cheers, keep up the great vids

Thank you Dog! :) Awsome video!

Cheers bru. Top stuff. Id like to know about inside / outside hand weighting on different corners. Do we weight the outside top hand? Flat turns vs ruts vs berms are different?

Awesome. Thanks for that! I kinda do these things, so that's good to hear. But, here's what I don't understand: how do you guys "snap" your bike into (or exit) a turn like that? Is that just the speed you're carrying? Looks so fast and aggressive. And cool of course :) I want that too!

Cheers Brendog. I think all my videos on my channel are me falling off i could do with the tips! Keep then coming.

You totally wrecked that GoPro at 5:45... 😂 #groove

Thanks Brendan ! Are you actively pumping/compressing at the apex to get that "snap" out of the turn ?

Nice vid. Unrelated to the subject, is that a Genius 900 you're riding?

Just started getting into the trails near me in the South Downs and I'm addicted to it! My entry hardtail is taking a bit of a bashing but I'm learning a lot and can't wait to try out your tips this week! Keep it up man

lesson learnt !!!!

🤙 sick

Sic again!!!!!

new fun here🤘🤘🤘

loving the how to's keep it up

Awesome

Am 50 this year just starting. You a ledge

Thanks legend

Where is that? Looks amazing.

Brendan Fairclough could you do a video on how to roost turns please

How about some tips on how to really schralp a corner?! Tips about riding for fun and with style, would be appreciated as well. Also you gotta get Ratboy on your channel!

Make more how to vids there sick

Great video and tips Brendan, please keep making such "How to" videos :) On a side note - what's the track name playing in the video? Cheers!

@Brendan Fairclough Do more of this stuff!

Ugh can’t wait to get on the trails and upload clips to yt

Thanks & safe

So awesome. Thanks @Brendan Fairclough! Q: Do you actively push out of the berm or are you resisting the weight transfer? (Looks like in a few turns you short hop through the apex) - My timing is not correct, is why I ask.

Cheers Bren

Maybe next vid on how to do a drop to flat like a pro??

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow really surprised by pedals level on a berm always thought you should have them one up one down, scared to try them level but I want to try

I already know how to ride a corner, I just like watching brendog

Thanks for the tips! Corners? Only Bryn Atkinson comes to mind. Not Sam Hill or Josh Bryceland. Doing inside on turns? Sam Hill...

Rippin them corners!

Who ever disliked this is a full factory kook. Keep em coming, Brendog!

Nice vid ! Where is this Brendon ?

Wow I’ve been decent at berms but now I can properly rail them

dat berm snap tho. hot dam

I want those gloves!

Joe Barnes should have got a mention as one of the best in ruts and berms.

Connor Fearon too!

4th advice should be "go and session" as I feel as loads of beginners instead of creating muscle memory and learning the basics they just "go for it".

To me Bryn Atkinson is the best cornerer, but that`s personal preference ;)

awesome vid. that poor gopro session :0 05:43
