Ride Over It! An Unexpected Way To Learn This MTB Skill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Riding up ledges and obstacles can be a daunting skill to learn, but we've figured out a way to practice WITHOUT any obstacles. You can pick up the entire technique on flat ground, build your confidence and control, and then apply it to an obstacle or ledge when you are ready.
In this video we'll break down the pedal up (or "punch" technique as it is sometimes called) into two main parts: standing wheelie and pedal scoop. We'll practice both skills individually, and then put them together in a rocking motion on flat ground. That same rocking motion applies perfectly when you're ready to ride up a ledge, you'll be surprised how easily this skill transfers.
Remember to always start your pedal ups with your opposite foot forward, that way your strong (forward) foot comes around at the perfect time.

Thank you. Your videos are helping me bring back and improve skills my body had forgotten.
Welcome back! Stoked to hear it!
I'm progressing with this skill. I'm ok doing it on smaller obstacles now and currently training my mind not to grab on the brakes for bigger ones 😅
I'm never going to be as good as the guys i see on the net but I'm better than the rider i was yesterday.
Thanks for the lesson, man.

That's awesome! Practice makes progress, for sure!
You are SUCH a freaking good coach, Aaron 🌠
I love listening to the intelligent and comprehensible way that you always explain the "what" & the "why" & the "how" of all the skills and techniques you teach. Great demos, too!
(I was blessed to spend several seasons as a professional ski instructor in the winter and a kids' MTB coach in the summer - I am so appreciative of anyone with a passion like yours to SHARE the sport you love and excel at)
And you're always ENCOURAGING, the way a truly good mentor should be!!
Aloha & mahalo!🍍🚲🤍🌴✨
Thank you so much - this totally made my day!
@@SuperRiderTV Cool! You're very welcome
🚲🤍✨
Nice Vid.
Could you make a detailled video about manual side to side balance. Cause im really struggling to keep the balance. I can pull into the manual but dont stay in it cause of side to side balance.
Thanks❤
Yeah! As soon as the weather clears up around here, I need a bit more space to do proper manuals, they're tough to teach in the warehouse. Just got snow in Portland this morning!
Hola Aaron, espectacular el tutorial muy esperado por mi parte, los pequeños detalles son los que hacen la diferencia. Muchas gracias!!!
Gracias Rodrigo!
Thanks Aaron, as always very useful. Unfortunately you're right about the practice... It works
Thanks! Practice makes progress, right? :)
one thing I don't know if you mentioned is that you are doing a punch, ie pushing the handlebars forward to get the back wheel up. That's probably more important than scooping the rear
Good call!
Such a useful skill! Killing it dude 👊🏼
Thanks! Means a lot coming from you! 🙌
With the pallet on marge that is 30" so just over wheel height on a 29" nicely done! No hop required!
I stacked another pallet on top of that one, just to see...might be pushing it a little bit! Just shy of the next box height.
Thanks,Aaron for another great tutorial video.
Thanks Martin!
I’m old and horrible, but if anybody can teach me this skill it will be you! Thank!
Ha! Here to help - practice makes progress! :)
I am old as well. 72 years old. I have learned a lot from Aaron over the past few years.
Old and horrible rules! That's why I'm here...
great video, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Keep it going Aaron nearly 100k 🦾🦾
Making progress! :)
This was absolutely brilliant! Thanks!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
I too struggle with side to side balance in a manual. I can comfortably track stand for more than a minute even in a switch foot stance. But struggle feeling even pressure in my feet for manuals
Looks like we definitely need to put something together on this topic, I'll start working on it. Thanks so much for the input!
another great video ..., thanks ☺️
is there any disadvantage using the manual method?
Thanks! As for the manual method, I find that I have slightly less control (especially if I'm on bumpy terrain that can catch the back wheel). Ultimately it's great to have command of both skills, but I usually rely on the pedaling version most of the time.
@@SuperRiderTV thank you ☺️
then I guess I'll have to get used to wheelie with the opposite foot 🙈
With the manual method I found it extremely challenging to get frome the back seat to front seat & to make a high pedal scoop..
I just found out others teaching the punch instead of the manual method, what do you think of this ?
@@krankesEtwas This is basically the same as the punch method, as far as I know? Hopefully a good supplement to what you're already practicing.
I would be interested in hearing what you think about riding up stairs.😁
Big fan of stairs! 😎 ruclips.net/video/JhTBQzmvXdU/видео.html
Awesome video ! I was wondering, when do you use this pedal up technique vs lifting front wheel without pedalling ?
Thanks! Great question - it usually depends on speed. When I'm moving slower and/or want to have a little more control, I pedal. If I'm rolling pretty quick, I just lift the front wheel. I definitely lean more toward the pedaling version though, I feel like I get more control with the pedals engaged like this.
Great video, but you guys always show this going onto a flat platform or rock. How would you use this on a large log, where there is no flat section to shift your body. I can easily do this on flat curbs, but a 2’-3’ diameter log stops me cold every time. I’d love to see a video on large logs.
Great call - here's a version of this tutorial that I did on a giant log, hope this helps? ruclips.net/video/ldCmEYzPiRc/видео.html
I have a dirt jumper with 26" wheels. Should i use it instead of the big travel 29er trail and enduro bikes?
Totally your choice, either bike will have advantages, although I might suggest learning it on the enduro bike since you’ll likely apply this technique to that bike the most?
Hi Aaron, I've always used a 1/4 pedal stroke with strong foot forward to do this rather than 3/4 pedal, what's the advantage of the 3/4 option? With the 1/4 I am coming in strong foot forward with even pedals and then do a slight backpedal to get in position for the 1/4 and still have strong foot forward.
I find the 3/4 pedal to work best on higher obstacles, plus I’m able to get a create more momentum with it. 1/4 pedal works great in certain applications as well - I use them both, depending on the scenario.
How about getting over a small log while going up a relatively steep hill?
What’s my strong foot? I’m usually left forward but my right may be stronger .

I just love you...
What grips are you using in this video?
Deity Supracush - I've got them on all my bikes, definitely my favorite grip.
Аарон, какую ширину руля ты советуешь иметь?
