Video Summary
AI GeneratedA group of mountain bikers navigate a challenging trail, focusing on technical skill development. The session involves real-time suspension tuning and detailed coaching on how to handle drops, root sections, and jumps safely, emphasizing body positioning and the importance of hitting obstacles perpendicularly to maintain traction.
Who wants to see you jump? There you are. Trail dog.
So with this one, with there being as many leaves as there are in sticks,
just go slow, ride both fronts from your brake, and you can just control your speed over it.
Are you ready?
Yep. Nice and slow, control.
Yeah.
I'm going here.
There you go.
I'm going to go a little bit here.
I'm really scared of the drop.
What are you thinking? It's deep.
Yeah, it's really deep.
Oh, another dog.
Another dog.
That's a good boy.
Let's give him a hug.
What are you looking for?
I'm trying to adjust my suspension here.
Oh, okay.
I've got all the tools needed to make an adjustment.
Yeah.
That's a lot of work.
Compatible.
It's nice to ride on your own.
He's at work right now.
And these are way above his skill level.
Fair enough.
Oh, he wants to do that.
I thought you were going to hug that.
This has the tapered steering wheel.
A little better feeling?
Yeah, I'm just trying to find the beat
that won't send me over the bar.
Where is it affecting you?
Is it on the up or the down?
Oh, the rebound.
So, time to be on the bottom.
And adjust it.
That's a little bit slower.
It should be able to...
I'm not sure how about now.
It would be 10 to 0.
Yeah, so that's the react map.
Pull that off.
I will drop it.
Oh, there's another.
There's another guy there.
That should make a little bit of a
improvement on that.
Is that too firm now?
Yeah, I'll just give it a try.
I don't want to go too much.
I want that one.
Almost made it.
I want this one.
This little one.
Having fun?
Where did you guys rode from?
Where did you guys came from?
Oh, we just rode from...
Yeah, you?
No, all the way from the north.
Where are you guys from?
I don't know.
Oh, we're here.
We're almost there.
Yeah, we're almost there.
We're almost there.
I'm surprised.
It's different compared to
the one we rode earlier.
The one we rode earlier.
At least you can see
the distance.
You know what you're going to ride.
Compared to the one we rode earlier.
The one we rode earlier.
I don't have a body position
on the drops.
I don't have a body position on the drops.
It's easier to ride air.
But I can roll the drop.
It depends on your bike.
If you want to just roll drop this one.
It depends on your bike.
You guys would be able to do this one.
You can do this really slow too.
But this one, yeah I can roll.
Roll this one.
I would recommend
rolling the root section
to the left of it first though.
Instead of doing this, just go here.
You want me to ride past
so they can see?
Someone's coming.
Someone's coming down.
Clear!
You want to show them the
the root roll?
You want to see the root roll?
You don't even need much speed to go on it.
I'm not going to brake.
If you brake in front of the car, you'll roll.
So I'll just let go.
I'll just let go.
Can I brake before going down?
You don't need much speed.
Just control it.
You don't need much speed at all.
You can even stop there
and then go.
It's very low consequence.
If you lock your brake up
on the front tire on that root,
you risk sliding
because of the loss of traction.
So just use your brakes
and then just roll over it.
If you have your seat post down,
then you can have
space over top of the bike
in order to move it underneath here.
Then the back end will pop up a little bit here.
Body positioning,
not too much to the front.
Outside of the center of gravity.
Keep your body bent.
You're basically going to be like this.
Your butt is going to be behind your seat.
Elbows bent.
Knees bent.
And looking forward where you want to go.
There you go!
Your balls are where?
Find it!
Start finding your balls and come up here!
Nice!
Are you trying it?
Crouch.
Attack position.
Start from there.
So you can get your balance.
There you go.
You can even start from there
If you go into the groove,
it will toss you off balance a little bit.
Try to stay on the flat portion.
If you go into the groove,
I would recommend
riding this portion of it
and then going through
straight.
Because if you
try to come out of the groove
all the leaves and everything,
your tire might slip out a little bit.
And that's going to put you
off balance a little bit if you're not
experienced.
And then it will make it very uncomfortable
and you'll get really sketched up.
So either go straight from up here
go down through the dip
or go to the right
and ride the flat portion around it.
And I can go straight, right?
Yeah, you don't need speed.
All you're saying is make it square
on the loops.
That's what I was talking about.
So you want to go
straight over the roots.
Because if you go at an angle
you'll slip over them. You won't get traction.
You want to go from here?
Essentially, yeah. I'll ride to that point
so you can kind of
get an idea.
So from here, straight on
and then
you can get to here
and just roll over.
It's got to be square.
Kind of like perpendicular in the loops.
Either that
or ride up top here
then go in
and do it.
But for you, it's probably going to be easier
to just come straight.
From this line?
Yeah.
Because here you have to do a quick little S-turn
in order to line yourself up
safely so you hit this straight
and you avoid the tree.
What he's saying,
you've got to have that habit
of doing it square.
When it's wet, if you ride in the wet
you're going to slip, that's for sure.
Because right now
it's so dry, it's okay.
But you want to build
good habits.
That's a very good technique though.
You have enough speed.
Yeah, good job!
Nice!
Air time, air time!
Ha ha ha!
Did you get the feel?
The feeling of the crash?
Ha ha ha!
That's what happened earlier,
you crashed and went down, right?
There were people there, that's why.
But you did a good job here
and you went straight here.
Ha ha ha!
Fifty-two, fifty-two, right?
Ha ha ha!
Is that electric?
It's big.
Ready, ready?
Sure, yeah.
We have such a nice day, right?
We're just watching you guys.
Ha ha ha!
You're doing it again?
Yeah, I missed the second jump.
The next two, those guys are coming.
Yeah, baby!
Good to go!
Nice, nice, nice!
Go, go, go!
Kuya is really a play-self.
He's a play-self, a play-self.
I've been jumping for a while
and I can see that it's really low.
He's a play-self.
Hey, you're flying!
Ha ha ha!
You're flying!
Ha ha ha!
You can see more
if you're at the end of the slope.
The height, the one-step-
Oh, one-step, huh?
You should put a camera
on the side.
That's your guide.
Ba, ba!
Ha ha ha!
You should know how
how to bunnyhop.
If you don't know how to bunny,
You just have to keep your speed.
Then when you get to the lift,
before your wheel goes down,
because if you didn't force it,
it will go like that.
When you get to the lift,
your wheel has a trajectory.
Now it depends on the landing.
Like I said earlier,
it's your home,
you can play it safe.
You don't have to do too much,
just relax.
For me, this is just
Your thing is still recording video.
22 minutes.
Do you want me to stop it?
Yeah, for sure.
