Hello my friends! I have been MIA for a little while because I've been launching my new website. It's taken a lot of time and effort but it's up and running now! If you want to become a member, it only costs $6 a month (or a discounted rate for the year) and you'll get all sorts of instructional content! I also offer online training packages through my site!

When the video started, first thing i thought was, "I couldn't do that." So yeah, fear it is. Really enjoy the videos.

Excellent tutorial, showing yourself, an accomplished rider, failing repeatedly gives the rest of us mortals hope! Well done.

@jonathantrexel4299 Жыл бұрын

This is why your training videos are just so good. Simple, great videos that break down something into small bites, and shown repeatedly. And for a new (and older) offroad rider like me, these are really good, including this one on fear. Thank you so much.

Fear is the same feeling as excitement but we just label it differently.

I appreciate the instruction and as far as learning through watching, you make it a little easier 😍. Yes I know, that was cheesy 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️.

One whiskey throttle when I was a little kid kept me off the bikes for years. I’m making up for that lost time now though.

Back when I raced MX, I found the same with jumping. Just start off small, (like a double jump), to work on technique until you get board of it. Then make the jump a little bigger, and repeat. Keep working your way up, bigger and bigger. I found that is the best way to learn. Once you are going bigger, nothing smaller intimidates you anymore.

Love it, find out what scares you and break it down to small steps. Applies to everything in life!

@PRAD33PK Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for all your learning content like this. It feels the most relatable for amateurs like me who just want to go riding on trails (and survive...😀) and not necessarily "MX racing". You're a great teacher having learnt it the hard way yourself, I'm sure. All the best with your new site!

Man, Megan can really get the in-the-head part so right. Megan, I'm riding a street-ish bike in off-road stuff, as an old, overweight, untrained person and every time you give advise, I get better. I hope my kids are watching you. I so hope you and Jocelin Snow make a video together. I want to see her mentoring you on a 600lb bike and I want to see you collaborating on dual-sport/dirt bikes.

@rotorhead5000 Жыл бұрын

Well timed, riding season is just starting where I live, and I really want to make some technique improvements this year, which in a lot of cases means fighting 30 someodd years survival instinct to get everything right in the moment.

I gotta inspire em. Every one of em. I had my first races last Monday, next month I’m invited back to watch 3 others in there first races. It’s an absolute honour to know there’s so many people who ride today after meeting me. It’s a great feeling hey..

If you ride MTB or BMX, this is a classic quarter pipe fly out. Not a bad idea to hit up a local skatepark, if you have the opportunity. Removing the worry of being crushed by a 250lb bike helps to concentrate on the technique.

I noticed when u «hesitaded» your focus or vision was locked at the «failing point»instead of keeping your sight «forward» towards the desired destination. I often find it to kind of engage the autopilot in me, to look past the opsticle, if that makes sense😂? Could be im wrong about this but…
