    A good habit to break is to avoid riding the brakes. Brakes should be used for slowing down. They should not be used for maintaining a constant speed. Your brake pads will last longer, too.

    • @ChunkyWalnutX
      @ChunkyWalnutX 26 дней назад

      As a beginner I went on a too difficult trail down hill and the bike just kept gaining speed. Obviously due too my lack of skills, trail difficulty and powerfull brakes I managed to lose control and crash. Could've been pretty bad since I fell on my head.
      But if I hadn't been applying some steady pressue on the brakes the speed would've been insane and the crash even worse.
      How else can you modulate the speed? Just more powerfull brake usage in spurts or lighter but longer use of them thruought the ride

    • @alhypo
      @alhypo 26 дней назад +1

      @@ChunkyWalnutX I would say to use intermittent braking. I.e. alternate between braking and not braking. That being said, if you're on a trail that is too difficult, you should go into survival mode just to get through it safely. Which is what you did. You simply can't ride a trail with optimal braking that is far above your current comfort level. So think about working up to that trail and getting more comfortable with speed on easier trails.
      When I'm on a fast, flowy trail, I try to let the bike roll its natural speed. If it feels too fast, just apply even braking (both brakes) for a few seconds to burn off some speed. Then let the bike roll freely.
      On more technical stuff, I try to brake on the "easy" parts. Like maybe there is a little flat landing between two steep rock rolls. The flat section is where you want to brake. Then you creep up to the next technical feature and come off the brakes as you roll into it. The steepest, most difficult parts are where you DON'T want to brake because braking comes at the cost of control. And that is when you need the most control.

    Advice for larger/heavyer riders about brakes: don't be afraid of going overkill, brake fade is a bitch and once it gets you there's almost no way to save yourself from a bad crash. Get metallic pads and the largest rotors you can, you will need them once you get to stupid fast sections if you do urban freeride.

    My tip is to use only one finger per brake. That way you are less likely to use too much. Also, always cover the brakes as you are less likely to snatch them this way

    Anyone do sausage braking? Load up the brakes, load up the forks, then go heavy on the brakes, then let off the brakes progressively, Small in, fat middle, small out. It's another motorbike thing but it works insanely well and lets you put a LOT of power through the brakes without throwing your weight around and really lets you take the piss 🙂

    The example of braking in the berm was a gross exaggeration and unrealistic, he jumped on the brakes pretty hard, instead he should of lightly trail braked into the berm, just like how you trail brake on a motorcycle.
