    This is by far the most helpful video I've ever watched about how to corner. You two do an incredible job of explaining the physics and reasons for body positions. It doesn't come naturally to me so this has really helped me improve my cornering.

    • @vicwesmtb
      @vicwesmtb 6 месяцев назад

      Hi there, thanks for the comment! We don’t bunny hop at all when jumping so not losing any energy. We don’t bunny hop off a jump, we load and then unweight (explode) and lean slightly forwards with the bike… this ensures you keep momentum without changing the trajectory off of the takeoff and lip. This is completely different to bunny hopping. Hope this helps! Cheers 🤙

    so let me get this straight, i load and explode with my feet , very little to no input from my hands ?

    • @vicwesmtb
      @vicwesmtb 9 месяцев назад

      Hiya awfully average, when it comes to unweighting the bike, loading is mostly through your feet, your hands just hold the front wheel up (but not by pulling it up). Don’t pull the front of the bike up towards yourself, the front of the bike is relatively heavy and you will most likely only pull yourself forwards (into a dangerous position), instead of allowing the front of the bike to get light and stay up. Once you start dropping with a lot more speed (high speed) then loading becomes almost negligible, as the speed you carry allows the rear of the bike to clear the lip without the front wheel dropping and causing a “buck” and OTB. In this scenario you can push the front of the bike forwards with your hands to meet the angle of the landing, but this is an advanced manipulation. I hope this helps . Cheers 👊

    I put off doing a 3ft drop of 1.5 years because it got tin my head and for whatever reason I could not visualize myself doing it. Maybe because it was off a concrete slab...even though there is a series of drops just before it off rocks that I had no issue with, even one that was the same size or maybe even a little bigger. Once I finally committed to doing it, it was once of the easiest drops I had ever done.
