Thanks for sharing your experiences. It’s much appreciated

Kinda like a wheelie! I think climbing things like that rock are the coolest moves in mtb. I know there’s a lot of love for jumps and what not, but to me the ability to climb ledges and boulders are my most desired skill.

[@singletrackskills6192]

Thanks!

Awesome vid, thanks for posting. That little pedal stroke after doing the front wheel lift is a great little method that I hadn't thought to do, will definitely put it into practice on tech climbs.

Thank you 🙏

3:00 "Punch drunk", Ha! Sounds good! :D

Lon brings me along for the comic relief... 😆

Looks good. The water right beside the rock ledge adds some pressure to clear the ledge.

Thanks 🙏

Endo turns on downhill switchbacks for your next one?? Another essential skill for desert riding. Great vid and simple explanation.

[@singletrackskills6192]

Thank you

Thanks. I’ll sub. I’m a 63 year old noob who can ride some blue (and even black), but not fast, or with style. Looking forward to learning (and practicing) more. Thanks again.

[@singletrackskills6192]

Right on!

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

I’m 66 and want to learn how to wheelie

[@stevematthes4325]

I have hurt myself trying to do one of the tricks that you demonstrated. Can you please give me the name of your Lawyer. Thank you.

[@brandonwellington3547]

You just got yourself a new subscriber. I'm just good enough to really hurt myself and need help with this stuff.

[@singletrackskills6192]

Awesome; thanks 🙏

[@OKFrax-ys2op]

If we all go along, it’ll be a wagon train! Sweet!

I would call this un-weighing the back wheel instead of a punch like Jeff does.

Call it a fairy-cake if you like, it still worked😂
