Showing a difference in taking inside and outside line. That’s the great stuff. What is hard (for me) to consume is the latter part where speed is greater and it’s hard to see all these little things that are flowing below you ;-) Still great video!
I was one of those who voted to keep your video format rather than shorts. This is one of the reasons why, such a high quality content. Your tips always make me a better rider. Love the safety tips as well especially not riding alone when taking risks, you never know what'll happen. I look forward to your future videos! Love this kind of format, makes eating my meals more enjoyable 💯🔥
Late to the party but I just wanna give props for talking about your crash and the decisions you made. To many people “just send it” without giving it much thought. It’s important to remind people that to become a good rider you have to be able to keep riding. So you have to use your brain.
I think we all love Remys and channel because he explains every inch of the trail and what he’s doing on it so well and why is it always the smallest jump and mistake causes the most pain
Even when he doesn't explain, I always pay attention to his front tire. I'm always amazed at his line choices. It's more evident when he's riding blind behind someone. He processes line choice incredibly quick.
Yeah being so new to riding I really like the verbals of you and Yoann when getting ON and OFF the brakes as I'm still learning/trusting to let go/ Thanks🤘🏼
Opening corners, if possible, to me is the best tip. With the wider radius it get's better flow. But one thing, the video told me: experience, you got a lot of experience. It's not only commitment. And that is the main difference between you an the people watching your videos. On the trails you've ridden in the video you are in a natural flow. That is an achievement of your experience.
Most people know to scan the trail ahead and we constantly remind ourseleves to do it, at least I do. But the tip to ensure to constantly scan from near to far is gold. Thanks Remy
Dude, I appreciate the description in this content. It definitely helps with my own riding. I tend to just smash through everything. I just started being coached, and riding behind someone who is more advanced who sees the trail in a different way makes riding much more fun.
Thanks for the tips. My counter tip: I would change Maxxis 3C tires to Dual compound if riding in those conditions. 3C's soft compound will harden and loose all grip in low temperatures. Common problem here in Finland :)
I'm really new to mountain biking and I found the instruction in this video valuable. At the same time, it seems like some explanation of how going slower than you expected caused you to land in a different place would make the instruction even better. For example, after riding the line twice to show the less and more ideal approach at 25:17, if you were to stand trail side to show the two landing points, it would have made the difference more clear. That said, thank you so much for all you do to share your passion for mountain biking. The vulnerability you and Steve have shown in other videos when discussing how you recognize whether you're in the right place mentally to ride a feature on a given day... that's profound insight for any rider.
Thanks Remy. Thanks for explaining how 'you' approach things, and explaining, (in detail), what happened on your last crash. It's just good information for us newer riders and helps link together a lot of 'what to do' situations. Thanks Remy!
Scanning the terrain, looking both forward and directly in front of you, seems to be one of the key skills in mountain biking. I think I figured this out on my own, but it's always good to have a reminder.
I was fortunate to be able to move and settle in sea to sky area. I fell in love in mountain biking but without any background and zero skills I have to learn from scratch. This type of videos is what I watch repeatedly to help improve and solidify my skills. Thanks for another awesome informative video. See you on the bike park 🤙🤘
remy I love how you analyse this topic in such a versatile way I believe this video is the one I can really understand the most and apply to my future biking.
Dude awesome video please keep doing these every once in a while. I'm progressing and getting into more advanced techniques and it's REALLY HELPFUL when you break down what very obviously comes quite naturally to you for us mere mortals as we get better. Have a great day be safe!
Been waiting for a while for another one of your teaching vids. Good advice too about not riding risking when you’re alone. I ride alone all the time and have had a few crashes, but you’re right, we need to be more reasonable.
I love the coaching videos @remymetailler. Maybe you can focus on braking, front and rear, when. That would be super helpful to us rookies! Thank You for the wonderful content.
thank you sir..great instruction.I used to do trails like that on my hardtail and this was exactly what I learned to avoid dangers., with my rear bouncing all over the place...
@@remymetailler Yes I spend much of the time gripping the frame with my inner thighs on that stiff Cannondale frame..the only thing that bike knew was let's go,fast.I had went full XT, ceramic rims and pads pushed the seat all the way back, and had the stem mounted in the negative position..I miss riding..
I ride a fraction of the speed you do but I recently had a crash that really scared me. Lost front wheel grip down a steep section and went ribs first into a large branch. very fortunate to only have some bruised ribs and a couple scrapes. Its cool to see a pro does the same thing I did after and went back to analyze exactly what happened. thanks for sharing this!
Yes, same here: in December, my front wheel washed out on a small polished wet root, in a corner and I went head-first I to a large tree. (TG I wear a full-face, and had body (shoulder) armour on that day). I really screwed up my neck and shoulders, but I was also very lucky... It takes a while to "feel normal" again, riding.
Such a great video. Loved the instructions and the trail itself you chose are properly awesome. It's understandable that the trail condition change when it's cold but it was a bit of an eye opener for my next ride to always be careful to assess this aspect of the trail. I really liked the part where you did the same line as your neighbor but slightly more to the outside even if not ridden by many to open up the corner more than the main line shows. Reminder to keep an open mind on line choice and not necessarily stay in the one or two most ridden lines.
Vraiment super interessant MEME pour des gens qui roulent mille fois moins fort que toi. Je roule à Québec sur des surfaces qui ressemblent énormément à ça et c'est super interessant d'avoir toute ta reflexion, décomposition. Merci !
Thanks a lot dude for giving again essential tips. Definetely will improve my riding again. It's really impressive to see how much effort you put in your videos. A ton of work I can imagine! Much appreciated! Thanks a lot! 100 % my favourite pro rider out there.
As instructionally sound as this is, I can't help but be distracted by how beautiful the area is. Like, man, what an awesome place to be in. Norrona: Quality apparell for quality riders.
thanks Remy for the tire pressure info! I've been running the same as you but I'm 72 kilos all kitted up with 2 liters of water. I have tire inserts and I'm not as gnarly as you are, so I think I'm good. I like how the low pressures grip and the inserts save my rims and keep the tire firm in hard turns. There are some really rocky rough trails in Southern California. I'm running the same tires front and back and they are 2.6". Remy 65 kilos Rear tire: DHRII @ 22 psi Front tire: Assegai @ 20 psi
Great vid Remy, always appreciate it when you provide advice and tips like this! Just had a similar crash a couple of days ago and broke 2 ribs, doh! Just slightly off line and clipped a tree that I didn't think I was quite that close to. Landed with all my weight on my arm under my side and that smashed a couple of ribs, frick'n painful!!! 😬
Great video. Thank you for your time explaining. I would like to see more on the body positions and combination of small drop and sharp turns immediately after that. I am something of a beginner close to intermediate and just 50 year of age 😂
A good idea when riding alone (and potentially crashing) is to use a gps tracker. I use a Garmin inreach mini. You can share a link when you start and then your family/friends can follow your position and you can send an emergency call on satelite network. Doesn't cost more than a relatively cheap phone.
Hey Remi, it could be nice if you added some "slow-mo" footage when you are going very fast on a section, that way we could better see your position and the behaviour of the bike ! I think it could be a great addition to your already great explanations Continue comme ça ! 💪🤟
great video Rémy, always good to see new tips. I recently had a very bad crash involving me lading on my handle bars and giving myself a hernia. I was just wondering how do I move forward after this big change in my life? I am only 17 years old and I have a lot to learn and anything from a legend always helps. thanks man!
Last week I had a crash on track that I know well. I fractured my wrist in two places and shattered the end of my Radius. The surgeons did a great job of rebuilding my wrist. The surgery was 4hrs and they installed two plates and wires to hold it in place while it heals. On the X-ray, my had looks like one of Edward Scissors’ hands. Your passion and commitment for riding the way you do is amazing, especially after your crash. Do you have tips for overcoming the pain and fears that come after an accident and surgery like mine, for when I start to ride again? Thanks
Thanks, that's just what I needed right now. By the way, I almost always ride alone and I have my Garmin automatically send a link to my tracking information to my girlfriend. So when it's getting late and I don't come home she can see my last position. Always made it to the hospital by myself up to now though but you never know.
Always impressive. I have one question. (@9:14) you detail how you open this corner by taking a highline over the roots. However this looks very fresh and to the mortal, wouldn't be considered a part of the trail. How does this affect the overall trail if the lines to open the corner are not intended by the trial builders?
Knowing that the builders are young racer I'm sure they appreciate that line. The main line is very damaged and opening the trail is necessarily for the longevity of it.
Mon commentaire favoris que tu as donné durant ton vidéo est de partager ou nous allons lorsque nous partons seuls en nature et quand nous pensons être de retour.
@24:50, huh? I was going slow. I was feeling my stomach in my throat. My mouth was watering from the speed, and fear of crashing. Then you said, you were going slow? 🤯
your videos are amazing and i saw you use the hero 12 GoPro is that also the one you would recommend if you want to start making mtb videos? (because i would like to do that)
This come down to personal preference. I personally love a 35mm rise bar with 8 degree of back sweep and 5 of upper sweep. That is what the OneUp Carbon bars have!
Just curious did you have surgery for your AC joint separation? I had the same injury and was discouraged from surgery by 2 different doctors. Thanks in advance!
What tips is the most helpful to you? Welcome to Norrøna as my new clothing partner! I'm using the skibotn collection: www.norrona.com/

Yes that last section is fast. Not easy to ride or explain:) @@pawewielgus2105
Always been a huge fan of Norrøna. You will not be disappointed.

I like the honest hindsight. Buddy ride is always smart but solo riding is something I think many of us do.

It will still be softer than a 3C terra
