    When I really got into mountain bike racing back in the early 2000s, I knew it’d be key to understand how to corner fast. Trying to imitate how the motocross guys would train, I ended up doing lots and lots of cornering drills, usually on slippery surfaces, focusing on a technique that was repeatable, predictable, and fast. I’ve got a strong BMX background, so I figured, “Why not turn corners into a chance to pump the bike as well?” I can’t say that I have the “best” technique, as I’ve definitely seen a few other cornering styles that are just as valid, but this style has worked awesome for me over the years!
    I have a full cornering tutorial here on my Patreon page, where I post monthly riding tutorials: / 27981205

    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
    From your videos I learned how to lean the heck out of my bike; and why; and why point the belly button to the exit of the turn. And not look at the minutiae of the turn, just focus on the exit or I'll hit exactly what I'm trying not to hit. 👍
    I do follow Lee McCormack's advice to always, always, be centered on the bike; I do not lean back even to pump the bike( I lose traction on the front if I do that).

  • @colbyscott9822
    @colbyscott9822 2 года назад +2

    Great video! One huge thing hurting them is they aren't looking down the trail, especially Dustin. You can actually see them lift their head at the exit of the corner to look down the trail. I'd bet that's most of the reason Dustin kept riding off the outside of the turn.

  • @notice_fpv
    @notice_fpv Год назад +2

    I've found that if you are leaned over and weighting the tires properly, even if you do loose some traction, you tend to drift more controllably and once you get used to the feeling and learn to trust the bike.... That drift is FUN!!

    It was real cool to see how after practicing that one tight left corner a bunch of times when they got to the slalom both of them were really good at the left turns but nowhere near as confident on the right turns. Was so clear how even that short amount of practice made a huge difference.

  • @donmiller8716
    @donmiller8716 4 года назад +9

    Great video! Coming from a lot of years of racing Motocross where weighting the front in corners is almost always a must, I would have never thought to pull back in the Apex. You can clearly see it working

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад +4

      Hey Don, the first parts of the turn (braking hard before entry, leaning forwards to initiate the turn) are very similar, then since you can't pour on throttle and feather the clutch, that rearwards pump is how you can drive your bicycle through the turn. Oh, and I never use my front brake to hook into ruts on a MTB, either. In fact I literally think to myself "no front brake" in most corners! There are a bunch of different and equally valid cornering styles, so just practice some drills and find what works for you and your body type!

  • @RideAlongside
    @RideAlongside 4 года назад +11

    DUDE! This is so so good Jeff. I realize what I do now when I make the bike rocket out of turns. I ride heavy on the front through most sections of trail, but in corners I shift back after the apex and it rockets me out on the inside. Never knew how to explain it until you did such a tremendous job in describing it. You made me want to practice some turns here in Prescott, AZ. Now that the monsoon rain came, it’s all hero dirt out there too. Perfect time to use the extra confidence to see how far I can push it on the side knobs!

  • @MD-uu5nt
    @MD-uu5nt 3 года назад

    I feel like I have learned most of these techniques separately but always struggled to put it all together consistently. I've been in races where I've performed well in some stages and crap in the next. One day I'm close to the elites and the next I'm miles away from the winners of my category.
    But this video and others you have made just show the importance of patience and trusting in the technique instead of trying to force things. There is so much to do right in every corner if you forget about the basics and just rush, then you can't physically go fast.
    Great video. Getting closer to the elites consistently thanks to videos from guys like you.

  • @ethanbenton6676
    @ethanbenton6676 4 года назад +1

    The reason why you don't have to lean the bike over as much in a berm is that the g forces are strong enough to push your center of gravity over the contact patch of the tire, so the less g force, the more you have to hang off the outside of the bike. Its just like the harder you brake the farther back you have to lean in order to keep weight on the wheels

Perhaps another video showing how you develop a feeling for the timing on when to start pulling back on the bars. Great group for your video.

  • @michaelwalker4363
    @michaelwalker4363 4 года назад

    Yes! This is the best cornering video. It’s seems it’s the cornering that is the key to all speed. :) Everything I’ve watched people say get you weight forward. And that wasn’t natural or fast for me. I noticed that when I would lean back I got around the corner faster but thought I was doing it wrong. Thank you for the video and clearing up my misunderstanding. Can’t wait for my next ride.

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад

      Cheers Michael! There are a bunch of different ways to corner, and honestly, I don't think forewards/back/centered is that big of a deal. Getting low on the bike is more important. I love it when I can pup a corner well, so this is how I've ended up cornering most often though!

      Ha! I'm actually not excited to do a general jumping or drops video. I feel like those would be more beginner oriented, and I'm not at all comfortable with instructing true beginners. It was sooooo long ago that I was learning this for the first time that I can't really remember that feeling! I did do a video on how to boost a jump, that's probably the closest I'll get: How to boost jumps: www.patreon.com/posts/24161821

    Cornering with Confidence is HARD. Any tips on cornering on loose over hard (aka kitty litter)???

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад +4

      Hey Masher, this is the technique I found specifically for loose over hard pack. I practiced primarily in baseball diamond infields in CA with their hard pack with gravel "fines", which was the most slippery surface I could find. In this video we used a gravel road, as that's pretty challenging compared to plain dirt. Seems that this style works well in most conditions. If it's super slick, you'll have to be more precise with your pump, but it's doable!

  • @hiro111
    @hiro111 4 года назад

    Really helpful stuff, thanks. IMO, smooth fast cornering is the single most important MTB skill. As a relatively new rider, the key insight for me was to use the dropper all the time. This may seem obvious to more experienced riders, but when you're just starting it's hard to understand that getting the seat out of the way and getting lower and really leaning the bike over is hugely helpful in railing a corner fast. Where I still struggle a bit is how to properly weight the bars so that I don't wash out the front end but not put so much weight on the bars that I'm struggling to turn. It's a fine balance. Practice and progression, that's the ticket.

    This was great! That explanation you did in the beginning just before they started drills was gold.
    I’ve also found that pumping through a turn and coming out with my weight back helps me get through tighter and faster. I think it helps with confidence too, since I feel like I’m in a strong position on the exit.

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад +2

      Thanks Dennis! Man, it probably would have been a better public facing vid to just run with an explanation with a couple examples, but I wanted to show how much these guys improved! Agreed about weight back- that's why I'm doing a wheelie or pedaling out of so many turns!

    Hey Jeff, great video! You have such a unique cornering style, it always looks like you’ve got most of your weight in the rear tire, why doesn’t you front tire lose grip? I’ve always thought you needed to be front tire biased on a corner to not lose grip.

    I would try to add that it the lowering of the outside leg has less to do with the speed of the corner but the aperture of the corner. Bermed corneing at 15 mph I typically don't put my outside foot down. The lowering of my outside foot has more to do with trying to stabilize my drifting in the corner if necessary....

  • @Nit2315
    @Nit2315 4 года назад

    It's weird because it also feels more natural to me to pull back a bit on the handlebar at the end of a corner, but it's the first time I see a pro rider saying it's not a bad thing. I'll try to apply this technique more instead of trying to correct it by pushing the front end to get grip.

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад +1

      Nit, there are a bunch of different ways to corner. This is the style that works for me with my body type. Look at Greg Minnaar vs Sam Hill vs Wyn, they all have completely different styles. Just keep practicing and keep note of what works and doesn't, and you'll find what's best for you!

    Hm I always thought you wanted to have your weight equally distributed (over the BB) and not removing weight from the front by leaning back (because of front tire washouts)? Had a rough front tire washout, which I'm sure was me not realizing I was on my front brake, but also had me thinking I was not having my weight and general positioning correct (and possibly a bit too much speed, hence the brake).

      I think that there is a disconect between how he describes it and how he actually rides. I think he is using the pump to weight the front wheel hard in the middle of the corner. The pull up at the end is just a side effect of that and shouldn't really be practiced IMHO.

    Have you just been looking at my personal RUclips search history? I've been hitting parking lots for an hour most days before I start my ride! I ALWAYS need help on cornering. I love the pumping approach, I really feel that when I'm riding pump tracks with huge berms but I've never really applied it to flat stuff, definitely something to add to the arsenal.
    Just out of curiosity, any tips for flat, chunky, line-deflecting, rooty nightmare corners? Or does the same kind of apply (with just a bit more careful line selection)?

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад +1

      Hey G, thanks for the note! I read a good article on LeeLikesBikes.com a decade ago about corners with obstacles in them. Point was to simply corner as normal, and hit the obstacles like they were being hit straight on. It seems to work most of the time, but I'll slow down and pump less when it gets really rough!

    • @Petr388
      @Petr388 4 года назад

      But Jeff says it has more use in slower turns...I would also say in off camber turns as well, but yeah most of the DH or enduro racers use it as little as possible, since with feet leveled you have more power to pump the turn and you have less chances to mass things up since it is more simple move. Unlike Jeff says, most of the racers know how to pump the flat turns, I think it is one of the basics of cornering skills.

  • @dunin.majewski

      Not if you want to exit the turn faster than you enter it. And really risk washing out should your lean angle be off at all.

  • @falllinemaniac
    @falllinemaniac 4 года назад

    I was unrepentant about braking into the apex. Since then I'm looking for acceleration in the turn. Your pump at I presume is at the apex involves "pulling" the bars. Is this the same pull as with the manual? Pull hard enough and manual out?
    PS at carparks and trailheads waiting for the group, I do that exaggerated corner low center of mass and hard lean and everyone thinks I'm a lunatic.

    • @JeffKendallWeed
      @JeffKendallWeed  4 года назад

      Hey Julian, if you watch more of my riding vids you'll probably see that I manual out of corners all the time. Or I'll do a small power wheelie. This is how I connect turns into other trail features, kind of making for more "flow". I did a public video about how to flow down the trail, and mention exactly this in that vid.

    im getting definitely better at it, but im still not really sure about the pump you are talking about and if your body positioning moves slightly more to the back instead staying centered?
    if i start to move it back, my front gets lighter and starts more to skid. little halp? :3
