Why You Can't Roost Your MTB: Common Problems Solved!

- Jackson explains and demonstrates the technique behind a real, dirt-slinging roost. The misconceptions, form, and purpose of roosting are all dissected in this video. Roosting is something we started doing (or attempting) about 5 years back, and many of our friends have wanted us to teach them what roosting is or how to do it. It's definitely our favorite way to corner on a mountain bike. After walking people through the process so many times, Jackson figured we should just document it and release it to you guys! Being a super technical person, Jackson dove in and gave you guys the full technical breakdown.
Now, don't abuse your powers; there doesn't need to be C-shaped marks on every berm in the East Coast (Or West), but let those berms know who they are messing with!

I've been shredding for 20yrs. Across America. I've watched all the vids. This. Is one of the best explanations of the nuances of schralping I've ever seen. Subscribed.
I was saying the same thing. Every other video somehow doesnt do a great job at explaining the feet position and rolling motions.
Best video on the topic that I've seen thus far! Props! 🤙
This is by far the best and correct explanation of roosting that I've seen. Subbed and a thumbs up for sure! "Rippin freshies" hahaha
Thanks, great job explaining and demonstrating!
This was really well explained. Props!
Great explanation!
This was a great breakdown of all the subtleties - you folks nailed it.
Thanks dude🤘
great video mate
Great video. Thank you. I’ve been making the “unweighting” mistake. No wonder it seemed so janky.
Proper video boys! Ill take this to the trails next time. Could you please do a detailed instructional on how to do a proper scrub/whip ???
Thanks dude! That's definitely something we could look into
Scrubbing is just destroying the berms only do it when your repair it yourself afterwards
You clearly don’t know what a scrub is so move along
@@jonathanangieri153 I know that scrub is a technic to jump low and fast over jumps but here in Germany we understand under scrub brapping.
Good video!!!
Nice explanation
Super sick boys! Note for criticism… slightly due down the volume of the music when your explaining stuff. Besides that fire! Great tips!😎
Best video on this
why is the music so loud??
would you recommend leaning into the turn more than regular cornering so the rear tire can slide up the berm easier?
For sure, the deeper the lean the better.
best way to go down the trail
Been to Killington, Creek and Thunder probably 50x the past 2 years and still couldn't roost. Jumps, tech, drops, rocks I'm fine with, but berms are by far my biggest weakness. It's a lot different watching on RUclips vs seeing it in person, cause I'm always afraid about going over the berm ... Anyway, built a berm in the woods to practice, and this video has been extremely helpful. Seen a lotta videos, and it's not easy to articulate, but this was definitely the most helpful.
And would you be interested in doing a lesson for me and 2 of my friends at Thunder or Killington this season? I was thinking $300 for a half day, but lemme know if interested. Love the videos!
Thanks a bunch and yeah for sure, reach out again once parks open up and we'll figure something out.
Does the fact I’m on a hardtail have anything to do with my inability to roost? Do you need knobby tires for optimal roosting? Great video btw
It makes it a little bit more tricky but stay with it🤘
Yes, please tell us how to ruin berms at Killington...
cry
I like how u have the courage to say that ur desperate for subs. Subbed
🤣👍
You guys should build a ski bike
We've thought about it for years...this winter could be the one.
Why is running lower psi cheating? I thought that running lower pressure gives more grip. Am i wrong?
Yes but there is a point where the tire will start to fold on itself and break free when it shouldn't
@@ChildrenOfTheLoam aaah. alright. so 30PSI is the sweetspot? had my tires at 25 up until now.
@@DarkauronCZ 25 is fine depending on your weight and tire casing, 30 is a bit high honestly but the saying does go, "30 psi in my minions..."
@@ChildrenOfTheLoam yeah, im currently riding on a XC bike (saving up for a proper trail bike) so my tires are pretty narrow and fast rolling. Tried 30 PSI this sunday and its definitely too hard for what im riding. im noticing less grip.
@@DarkauronCZ long travel bike is better for roosting. actually lower psi is not cheating i think.because everybody have different weight and need different tirepressure for roosting.i weigh 60kg and running 25 psi for roosting
Take a look at 1:35...body weight so far foward almost crotch on stem...all the vids of how to do a roost don't describe what they are actually doing. He says, shift weight back, but in videos he's shifting his weight foward.
My bad, force is put through the back of the bike which shifts weight forward. That clip is also to a point of being so pitted that form kinda goes out the window.
for a lighter rider,you actually need a lower presure like me.i weight 60kgs and running 25psi for roosting
You're 100% right...the 30psi thing was kinda satire
you look so stoned lol
Unintentional roosts are alright, intentional makes a rider look like a squid.
Oh no doubt my guy👍
"speeds your friend, and so is commitment"
well, the female viewers just left lmao
