You need to come back and do a tutorial on how to ride that after it's rained for 3 days. It turns to slick as snot clay and is nearly impossible to ride! Dry and dusty is tough but not so bad.

Ya this is what the dirt is like where I ride. Super loose and skiddy when dry, super slick and unpredictable when wet. And about 10% of the time it's perfect Hero Dirt in the middle. Haven't yet worked out how to ride it properly in either condition.

Remy is so smooth on everything especially when he is doubling, he puts his front tire down so quickly that for an instant it is at a 90 degree angle to his body position, but he is able to whip around so effortlessly and he makes it look easy. It is a joy to watch. If my front tire isn't inline with my body, bad times. Great channel.

Though by the end of the day I was sending it on Aggravated Assault and Playground, didn't quite get comfortable enough with the steeps there to try Kodiak Karnage though.

Merci for taking the time to make videos like this in addition to your pure riding videos. Great content all round! Just a thought... rider weight probably has a bearing on what tyre pressures to use so maybe mention your measurement when discussing your tyre pressure. If you don't mind giving out that personal info. So that people know how relevant your pressures are to them. Very few videos mention that when someone says 'I'm running X PSI'.

You talk about a couple things that I feel like aren't really talked about when people watch videos on how to ride. Would love to hear more about that stuff. For instance talking about pushing into the handlebars while braking. I'm wondering if its only during steep stuff or if I should be doing that more often. You also talk about standing up taller when riding and using the core less. Right now I feel like downhill nearly wears me out faster than the uphill. Maybe I'm just way too tensed up. I would love to have more tips on being able to just relax a bit more and letting the bike do what it wants more, than constantly feeling like the one that has to be in control the whole time.
@-tr0n3 жыл бұрын
I'm no pro DH rider, but having ridden hardtails my entire life on the shore, whistler, etc maybe I can help. I always want the bike to be light on the tires, you stand tall and centered and let the bike pivot and move below you until you need the traction. If you try to force lines all the time, you will wear out and end up catching ruts at really bad times. You set the bike up for the line you want and then you have to let it do it's thing. You'll see racers absolutely float over rock gardens and root sections, barely touching the ground. They are riding very very light on the bike by just floating above it and letting it move. They ride alternatingly light and heavy to float, and then get traction, and then float etc. This takes a lot of practice and trail reading to know when to do what, as riding light in the wrong area can turn into air time when you don't want it! When you need the traction to rail a turn or hit a braking zone or set up a line choice, you rotate your weight to either front or rear or centered as necessary to PUSH into the bike and dig the tires in to get traction. You see Remy pop and float down that jank and then push the catch berms to dig in and slow down. Maybe I'm off completely! Have fun out there.

@ghensold3 жыл бұрын
@@remymetailler Erosion prevention measures can definitely help, but these steep trails will always erode relatively faster. You can see it happening just from being ridden, people skid the rear tire to maintain control and it throws dirt off to the side. If we imagine 20 or 50 years into the future, what will these trails look like? Of course this does not apply to steep trails on bedrock. I worry that with time and increasing popularity of the sport, the ecological damage from mountain biking will become more apparent and it will lead to more restrictions to where we are allowed to ride and build trails. You have mentioned erosion in previous videos so I hope you will continue to bring awareness to this issue. Thanks for the great videos!
