Mountain Biking Fails are avoidable! MTB Skills Mastery is possible! In this mountain video I share one of the hidden secrets to TRUE mtb skills mastery - something MOST riders (and even coaches) don't even pay the slightest attention to.
Watch the full video to understand why you went OTB in the past, what to do to avoid it and what may be missing in your manuals and rear wheel lifts to master these mtb skills!
By using your ankles purposefully and placing your feet on your pedals mindfully, you can avoid fails and gain control over your mountain bike! Pedal slipping on a mountain bike is usually a matter of not being balanced through the feet, of sloppy foot placement and a bad ankle position. To avoid mountain biking fails, avoid going over the bars and to make your mountain bike ride a success - follow the tips in this video and start to understand how your foot placement and ankle position effect your riding!

Thank you, Roxy. So many KZfaq video presenters teach everyone to keep their heels down. You are the only one that explains in full detail when to have both heels down, when to have both heels up, and when to do a wedge. You are very thorough and intelligent in your approach to coaching people in mountain biking. You truly care about your viewer's safety and progression. Your heart is pure and your mind is magnificent. You are a blessing to us all.

Ok you’ve taught me something here and I’ve been riding steep tech downhill for a number of years now…the foot wedge…on your other video I mentioned to drop the heels but I did not notice that in fact I do perform the foot wedge instead of dropping both heels at the same time. Anyhow, it definitely made the biggest changes to my riding to date and I still remember the first time I tried it…that was how much of a difference it made!

I’ve been super conscious of ankle and foot placement now. I was taught to drop both ankles on steep stuff, and had done this as a default foot position, but being more aware and creating the bowl effect has made things feel better . Also watching the DH World Cup in Leogang, almost all riders have the foot and ankles as you describe, and you can see how they are steering with the legs and feet as opposed to the arms. Just my observations. Thanks!

Due to jacked up body parts, Im pretty well stuck riding exaggerated mid foot on pedals. It is what it is and I just have to work with it...... I use Catalyst pedals which are the biggest pedals ever. To support my feet and avoid jacking my ankles up worse.

@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 8 ай бұрын

Well, in this video you'll find out what to do with your ankles, though.

@jimwing.2178 Ай бұрын

IMO, riding with the pedal spindle under the arch is superior (except for one instance*). This works better if both the heel and the forefoot is supported by the pedal. That is the intent of the Catalyst Pedal. All ankle action described in this video can be done while using the mid-foot position. I have no idea what people mean when they say that a centered foot position decreases range of motion. It may decrease toe flexion, but what good is toe flexion? *Anybody who rides flat pedal can take advantage of this technique: When riding long stretches of non-technical climbs, try moving your feet forward so that your heels are fully supported by the pedals. While pedaling think about pressing all your force through your heels and think about generating that force with your gluteal muscles. Your glutes should be stronger than your quads, so climbing will be easier. Also, you are saving your quads for those times that they should be the prime movers, which is any time you are off the saddle.

Hi I had an idea for a video...what about one where you teach "common sense" outdoor safety precautions like not going solo, or if you go solo to have someone know where you're going and when to expect you to be back, how to prevent heatstrokes, what to do if you're caught in thunderstorms outdoor, how to to check the weather before heading out, how to prevent tick bites etcetera? I feel like as a community we often give this sorta of knowledge per granted and it really shouldn't because these things are just as dangerous as going OTB. Obviously just an idea, I didn't want to sound arrogant. Have a nice day 😉

Hi Roxy. Thanks for a great explanation. It makes more sense to know why you are doing something, rather than just being told, “this is what you should do”. Quick question regarding handlebar/spacer height , I’m thinking the ideal height is so you can keep your weight going through the feet to have as little weight as possible going into the bars whilst in the neutral riding position? I keep getting conflicting advice about keeping the bars low to help weight the front tyre in corners. Thanks, your videos are so helpful .

@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! There is no one-fits-all answer to this, as it depends on the gemoetry of the bike, your torso length, riding style, etc. However, all I can say: your riding technique will influence the traction (what many people refer to as having "weight" on your front tire) MUCH more, than any spacers can ;-) But: I do recommend getting your bike fitted professionally - this will solve any doubts.

Agreed, Jack! I work together with pro coaches from many areas and exchange ideas and principles with pros from different backgrounds (surfing, skateboarding, rowing, volleyball, martial arts, riding, physiotherapy, neuroscience etc) and as soon as you get into PROFESSIONAL coaching, all of them say - the small things make the BIG changes! But the most important (and most overlooked) part is always having SOLID fundamentals - because this is what everything else is built on. Which is why I like to say (and apparently Lance Armstrong also said it): if you're new to a sport, the best thing you can do is to hire the best coach you can get. It'll spare you many years of trial and error and years of automatizing limiting movement patterns that you'll have to UNlearn later... Thank you for commenting and sharing, Jack! ~ Roxy

I can't imagine wanting to go longer on your cranks. I guess it depends on the kind of trails you ride. I ride tons of techy trails with plenty of roots and rocks so pedal strikes are always a threat. I'm actually going to go smaller with 165mm cranks. I think the biggest deciding variable would be your bottom bracket height. Definitely curious to hear Roxy's response. 👍

@jimwing.2178 Ай бұрын

Yes, longer crank arm do give more stability. However, shorter cranks have advantages that may be worth a slight decrease in stability. As far as I know, the best way to determine what's best for you is to try different cranks. That can be an expensive experiment, so really think about aspect of pedaling what you want to affect. For example, I wanted my knee to flex less at the top of the pedal revolution so I chose shorter cranks. I no longer feel the decreased stability because I subconsciously adjusted to it. I also don't feel knee pain anymore.
