7:25 : "Use hips to pivot the bike". Gives a new technique and dimension to your turning

Using the terrain to control speed - berms and compressions.

I like the tip about keeping your body loose and letting the terrain guide the bike a bit to keep it planted. Love your videos, Remy!

Beginning @7:34 was most helpful for me. I find myself fighting the terrain and not being loose. Another awesome video man!

Working with terrain to manage your speed 👏🏽🤘🏼💪

Thank you, I do my best! Lots to come from that epic trip. Every Thursday, maybe the monday as well.

@@remymetailler That’s awesome news, I love watching as many of your videos as I can in order to improve myself as a rider

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.

Love them, but hate people just came back from 4 days in Squamish/Whistler and on the last day woke up to my devinci Spartan and my brother's kenevo gone great trip but horrible ending😢😢

Me 🤘

all on this Channel i thing

@@james_rides1588 Man that sucks. Were they secure and locked or did you let your guard down?

They are great 👍. (I do put ski trips higher on my list - my first love)

I actually never thought of scanning the terrain and using it to slow down. Made me realize Remy's brain is processing many layers as he shreds.

@@justsayin3600 I grew up skiing knar so that comes naturally to me. However the execution doesn’t. What’s easy skiing is far less easy on a bike for me to pull off. I took up mtb biking late. 🙁

Same here! You are not a bad dude for a french guy.

@@remymetailler hahahaha!!!!

Glad I could help! Enjoiy

Thanks so much

But to be honest, everything at Fernie is steep and loose, even the trails outside the park haha. I remember my first lap at Fernie, decided to ride Ewok since it was a "blue", hit the nice woodwork, end of woodwork here's a drop into a steep AF root chute haha. 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.

Thank you!

Hey I have posted one every week, check them out!

Glad you like them!

Good addiction to have!

@@remymetailler Definitely!

Awesome!

21/25 on my DH bike

Thanks!

Il y a le parc du héron à Villeneuve-d'Ascq où le paysage est sympa, et tu as même une jolie descente de gazon coupée en deux par un chemin piéton ce qui permet de décoller sans trop de risque, puisque le dénivelé tourne autour de 25/30%.

Steve Vanderham ahaha I will tell him. Coming back soon.

I'm sure it's cool too!

Glad you like them! Putting a lot of efforts into it so hopefully it helps a lot of biker out there.

@@remymetailler oh it helps a lot. I am in biking quite long time , but your setup tips open my eyes and get me more and more realy dialed.

He is fast! I was cruising though:)

Thanks 🔥

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.

Same

That's what he was riding in the teaser clip at the end

Welcome!

That is the athlete's version so the logo is more visible than the black one.

Ride on a parking lot or little downhill road and slowly brake / let go until the power is there. It takes a bit of time

Push your weight on your feet and bars.

Oui

It s ok to loose traction if you know the berm will catch you

@@remymetailler Thanks. So all part of using ‘the hill’ to manage your speed and direction 😊

Sintered

@@remymetailler thanks!

I did in 2015, did not go super fast but also had no fun. Now 6 years later things could be different.

Bien sur, en 2022

It is true, but some steep trail if they have catch berms stay rideable for a long time.

@@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!

Thanks! If he had been a bit yet I would have gone faster!
