    4th time riding my bike on a blind trail up in the local mountains I was in the zone absolutely flying and unintentionally roosted the shit out of a corner, no idea I had done it until all the mud came back down around and I front of me. Made me feel like a bro. Fast forward month I broke my rib riding....

    If you really want to learn this, pump up your tires to 45 psi and learn to pump flat ground chainless in a parking lot or paved path. Once you can maintain your speed on flat ground without pedaling by pumping the bike when your drop the tire pressure down to 30 it is super easy. The g out and downward force compression while dumping the bike over is the most important part of it.

    @timquain5341 4 года назад +4

    I've been trying to roost for I'd say at least 5 years. My rear wheel will just not lose traction. The only way I have gotten close is by jumping my weight off the rear wheel and jumping/skimming my rear wheel to the side. I find this technique easier on the flat but impossible on berms. I know it is wrong. I've tried the technique described in this video but I just turn and my rear wheel follows :'(

    How I imagine it is like whipping a jump but your on the floor. You can even do it on flat ground without a berm

    • @Tj-hw2ql
      @Tj-hw2ql 4 года назад +7

      It's nothing like a whip

    • @captaintraction4024
      @captaintraction4024 4 года назад

      A whip you are typically upright, and you can land sideways (kinda)
      A roost, you are very much so sideways, and pushing your rear tire beyond its limit. It is much more scary

    • @Alexbeauchesne1
      @Alexbeauchesne1 4 года назад +4

      Kicking out the wheel on flat ground is not exactly like roosting. When kicking out on flat, you want to be light on the back wheel and push the bike sideways with your hips.
      When roosting, you put all your power downwards, through the pedals (not really sideways) Since the bike is leant over, you break traction and the back end drifts. Without a berm, roosting will inevitably send you to the ground with massive road rash.

      Niklas Svensson - thanks. I guess I’ve had a hard time figuring it out because when I need more grip, I usually drop my tire pressure and my tires grab the dirt better... 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe because the dirt isn’t as dry??

    • @niklassvensson9119
      @niklassvensson9119 4 года назад +4

      @@MTBTrailRider Its becose when you turn the force is presing the tyer sideways, so to a point you have more gripp, but when it folds you are on the rim/sidewalls.
      For brakeing/climbing less air = more gripp.
      For turns its only true upp to a point and depends on the dirt and trail.
      Try do turn with no air or only 5-10psi and you will see what i mean ;)
      Dry just make the roost look more cool and makes it a bitt easyer when its loose. Same as riding in mud, but without the wetnes.. :P

      @pbakai182 3 года назад

      I'm pretty sure 'roosting' or drifting will almost always be slower on a MTB, whereas professional rally cars will get a faster stage time from it (car much heavier than bike!)
      Drifting on a bike is merely for the fun aspect. Even though it destroys the track over time.
