Learning to boost a mountain bike means working on your technique with a careful and methodical approach. But at some point you find yourself wanting more. More airtime. More vertical. More boost. I spent the morning with Christian Peper, who is famous for supernatural boost, and he explained exactly how to get higher on a mountain bike. In this two-part series we hit the pump track and see how it is EXACTLY the same body mechanics as jumping. Then we move to the large line at Valmont and go frame by frame to pick apart what I'm doing wrong and and what Christian is doing right!
In part two, we move to the XL line, pull out the BOOST-O-METER and measure the HUGE difference the right technique can make.
