[xXGH0STEYEXx]

[mxo1210]

I was a bmx rider when i was a kid...& to now riding a specialized rockhopper comp ht disc 07 mtb...it's so damn easy & hella fun! You just gotta charge it!

[Commodore0069]

ur a fucking douche

[lentilsouper]

wtf. a retard knows this man.

[fatalist06]

OK--here's a positive comment: flee Expert Village and find the vids by Pancho Herrera over in the LiveStrong series. Because it's not enough to BE an expert--you also have to be able to speak coherently.

And posture. Good posture really helps.

[fatalist06]

Expert Village. Get the feeling there's a lot of pubs in that village. And no library.

[thrashistheshit]

@fatalist06 Sounds like a cool place

[tavonevox16]

I NEED ROAD BIKING TIPS.

[marjorieyeager]

Aaron gives good tips,,, am sorry for the RUDE comments of others

[BuickAndRobby]

See our video on why bicycle helmets don’t keep you safe. You’ll be surprised.

[markos824]

what about me i opened my eyes too much and i got dizzy

[septimussphrogg]

'Cornering is an art' - genius line

[Whitsittkillz]

this looks like they gave a retard a tricycle

[redlinebiker04]

Should I practice my eye exercise's on the street before I go ride on the dirt hills? Is it proper to not sit on your seat when taking a breather, rather on your top tube? Sorry for my newbie questions, I'm just trying to be the best biker I can.

[KuhlmanVideos]

Yes! i now know how to turn on flat ground!!

[skaterjudge]

Sweet, thanks aaron.

I see you have trolls on your videos lol.

[juimon0s]

esta todo puñeteado no puede subir tan facil

[mharky84]

60rpm, shoulders rocking, front wheel wobbling... what a climber!

[thekillerbeira]

Good guide. But seriously who doesnt know how these simple techniques? Look where u want to go obviously. Its sad that we need to teach people basic skills such as these. However, very good guide for dummies.

[jtm0008771]

@thekillerbeira lol not dummies dumbasses

[thoromicina]

It`s funny how so many self called "pros" like to criticize everything they watch. But..not everybody is a pro, and this vids are perfect for starters.

Not everybody is born being an expert on the track.

Thanks for posting. Good vid.

Dude that fork of yours is in serious need of some extra PSI.

Who made him an expert anyway?

[moparfanatic26]

@ftpaddict he got his pro adge from goodwill.

[00s0am]

YAY, Finally! a video that shows me how to turn on flat ground! Don't know what i was doing for the past 3 years on the tracks.

[BMANN0117]

its true that if you look at an obstical you may hit it, but if you don't look at it then your probably going to hit it anyway, my point is you don't just look where your going you need to keep your eyes moving, looking for anything and everything. say theres a branch hanging in the trail, if all your doing is looking at the trail then your gunna whack your head off it. this guy is definatly not an expert

[pixuma]

"Hi! i'm Aaron Philips, and i like to pretend to be an expert!"

[JTMarlin8]

Yep, this guy's a real douchebag who sucks at biking.

[Razvy1102]

good luck

[anshutz92]

does fatty dirt bike rider need a cookie? or maybe a few chocolate cakes will keep you from whining! stfu fatass and go ride your damn crotch rocket

[meant8]

pussy mountain bikers. Ride a dirtbike.

[franciscccccc]

And be fat

[pixuma]

Yeah, thats totally why many pro dirtbikers call us freeriders crazy

[bikeskills]

Watch the world's best mountian bikers demonstrate the basics on the Bikeskills Channel on YouTube

[ItsDanCog]

you gotta have your outside foot down on berms so if you loose balance or drift too much you can put your inside foot down to regain balance without your pedals spinning back on you.

[Hughbhurt]

Wow really, if you ever railed a berm then youd obviously would know that if your inside foot is down on a berm then your pedal is going to dig into the ground and your face will be eating dirt.

[bRiNgBaCkDa70s]

i was wondering why i can turn, now i know. i wasn't using my eyes, when i opened them up it was sooo much easier.

[ARCHangel992ZDU]

@bRiNgBaCkDa70s Have you ever been mtbing? I've only gone four times and I totally get what he is saying, if your just being funny whatever but dude that is true.

[patrick5158]

i totally kinda wanna know who is this video made for?

[foxrider191]

OMG

I did ALL YOU SAID TO DO but that doesn't work my bike still straight =(

any can help me ?

[sniper01234567]

OMG THIS IS HARD....

[lacongerasambera]

I dont know anything about bikes but i do know that I ride 365 summer or winter(-30 degree Celcious). I keep faithful to my bike even if its not a 5000 dollar bike.Ohh I work my stamina out aswell 20 miles a day!There

[firefightjason]

omg i cant turn my bike

!!!

[bikeivan]

your a bad!!

[portales2010]

Thanks for the help! All these other wise ass dildos obviously belong on their own litle, who's got the biggest 'mountain bike', planet. For all those people out there who have a life and want to find a new fun outdoor activity I say go for it and don't let these morons discourage ya.

[koko56]

huh, what are people saying to discourage anyone? I'm really just asking.

[HelihunterX]

WTF is the point of this Video? Are you kidding me? Is he really explaining how to make a U-TURN?

[idiotzrule]

Cool, he has told taught me how to turn and the most important tip of all! use your eyes!!!

Armed with this knowledge out I go!!!!!!!

[guitardude12345]

hey ppl i got a question. why do people in mountain bike videos and ppl i see on on the tail never have full-suspension?they always have a hardtail.

[pcimportsnz]

Ahh because they aren't hardcore enough to have a fully.

[71011345]

because not everyone has the money. id love to ride a full-suspension bike but cant afford one. the one in the video is full, though

[ItsDanCog]

bikes with no suspension or only front suspension are alot better for doing dirt jumps, street riding, park, trials, and flatland. you can get full suspension bikes for dirt jumps, but it wont be as good as a hardtail in most cases. Full suspension bikes are used for downhilling and other diceplines. full suspension is very helpful for downhill because it keeps your wheels on the ground as much as possible so small bumps don't send you flying off your bike at highspeeds. alsogivesmoregriponburms

[DanielRichards5]

ever1 dont watch expert village stuff its shit!

[wtfchazpwnt]

How much he struggles on that hill makes me laugh. pretty sure he'd get eaten up on any semi difficult XC course.

[pixuma]

hehehehehe... fuck the deraillers, run singlespeed, makes you sooooooo much faster. i will never go back

[pokrmastr29]

if someone needs to watch a video on how to mountain bike to teach them how to ride then I'm guessing they probably shouldn't ride... just a thought

[trueeasyrider]

To be totally honest. your video is very boring. but you got a a beautiful bike. Thanks anyway for making this video.

[numinis77]

please, stay at home and explain this bullshit to your wife, may be she will found it good.

stupid video....

[madaboutrc]

He has a shit bike, well the frames alrght, forks need more pre load, needs disk brakes ect.

[darkprecurser]

doesnt even matter. its fuckin stupid to think people need like 600 dollar or more bikes and disk brakes and shit to ride... as long as you ride and do what you love thats what its all about.

[madaboutrc]

I will pm u my reply, wont fit. Any1 who wants a copy can ask :L

[sean9091]

preload? you mean TRAVEL - dont post faggot if you dont know about bikes, he doesnt need disk brakes, hes probs got magura hydraulic rim brakes by the looks of it! and mabye its an xc bike so he wants to save weight , so he gets all the stuff that saves weight!

[madaboutrc]

Travel is perfect on that bike, the preload is wrong. And that bike doesnt have hydro brakes... Those hubs dont look up for xc but oh, it isnt an xc bike...

[ORnaBO]

some v-breaks are better then disk breaks so stfu! only if that are hydraulic dick break are better than fast everything

[madaboutrc]

Ok i havnt got a clue what you just said, and im sure your right. But those v's arnt better than your average hydro setup like some of the juicy's

[ORnaBO]

but hydro is not average xD i dont see much of that on the street more the v's ol all v's and soma poor disks ok so see ya xD

[madaboutrc]

Most decent mountian bikes are bieng used by people that want fun on the trails. in a bit then m8 ;P

[kskbmx09]

i wish i was as smart as u........ ur a fukkin morron

[ownertwinz]

i know lol

[kdes]

[noremorse126]

[motorcrosser12]

[doumanian3]

o just shut up

[doomsdaymuffan101]

i have a full and i can get every where i don't see the difference

[GermanYankeeFan1]

i have a hardtail ... are hardtails better than fullys ?

[enteng2366]

i hate full suspensions.....i'll stick to hard tails

[laserracer519]

all your opinion

[doumanian3]

yah i was like u too but once i ate it a couple of times down a steep and bumpy ass hill i dicided to go with full

[warbear1993]

lol if u keep ur eyes on it you hit it O.o

erm, nooooo... do u want me to change ur nappy 2?

xD

fucking pathetic, if ur arms arent independent u shouldnt be aloud out the house, never mind on a bike, iv been downhill bikeing for nerly 2 years, iv never had that problem

[watcinmetodi]

if u wana drift the bike dont keep the foot completely downwards but halfway and infront

[frankster262]

wat if you guess you going to crash?

[SARDelta313]

i dont know how to use the brakes

[venskus2009]

that was the absolutely wrong bike for this video. full suspension is only, and i mean only for downhill. and rtards

[MTBkerz]

hell no im a down hiller and a trail rider and i get by fine i hate hard tails.

[Utilizzarre]

Lol I'm so glad you think that because I brought a mountain bike with just front suspension as I prefer it and all my mates think that I'm gonna get nowhere with out full suspension. They got me slightly doubting my bike but you have re-assured me ;)

[stuprestonexperience]

well said full sussy bikes fail uphill, especially if you are a little overweight lol

[thekidwithdog]

full suspensiong is only for downhill lol

what about 4x, slalom, all moutain, and XC,

what decade are you from everyone uses full suspension now

[rhetoric09]

um ok dipshit. I free ride and i have a fully, i also use one for xc so its all on personal preference. so dont be a dick, sir.

[irishpimp1001]

there's a synergy between your sight and your eyes....lol

[YouGotTheWord]

good for a beginner.

[tubeyou443]

honestly these videos aren't that bad for beginners... I hate it out on the trail when there's people that have no idea whats going on and caant do anything.

[true415514]

"Cornering is an art as well" :38 haha are u fuckin serious

[piffdoddy]

This guy really knows how to turn his bike.

[benola09]

[DocoTaco190]

[vadilson69]

[jaycedog005]

what if i dont have eyes ? does that mean i cant ride ? =[

[botchok5]

How to turn a mountain bike LOOOOOL....... seriously I think it's just common sense LOOOOOOOOOL!......

[matt101000]

gggaaayyy

[utube4master]

i think i can do a better one lol

You need to pedal more to make the bike go faster

[Commencal666]

Using proper turning technique you go faster for less effort, so you can go faster for longer

[fizzy408]

i swear to god i luv mountain bikes! i hate bmx

[clandrestino]

yo all R stupid.

The title says beginners. FU all. !!

[13TestaRossa]

this is the most worthless video on youtube...

how about you tell us that u need to pedal to get the bike moving for your next video...

[mimzywhimzy]

as a total and utter newbie to mountain biking, i actually found this helpful. evry1 on here needs to chilllllllllllllll.

[Grady05]

o wow, wtf does he thinks ppl dont look where thy're goin, dam i jus wasted almost 2 mins of my damn day

[youngplainjuan]

They need "experts" to tell us these?

WTF

[xota]

[FuhrerKaiser]

[xaogxshango]

this is the worst and most pointless video on youtube...everyone knows this already

[CrazyArab75]

I hope all these videos were shot on the same day cause he's wearing the exact same thing in all of them.

[Dorkus89Malorkus]

Classic target fixation... Heh. See something you don't wanna hit but you just know you got too much speed to break? Just take a quick look the the left and right I have yet to come to an obstacle that didn't have a way around it.

There's always a way around!

[lwfrt]

go home and die

uuuuseeee yoouurr eyyyees

you'r are pro.. ?

[kittykiller897]

Haha.

"Look where you want to go, and go there."

"If you look at an object, you'll hit it."

Umm, no, not really.

[Picapacapopo]

Yeah, really. Do you ride? Try it out. It works when you're riding crazy at least...

[kittykiller897]

I know what you mean, but saying that, "If you look at an object, you'll hit it," just isn't true.

[zlpn]

он шо йобнутый?

учит ездить на велике?

зачем это смотреть? =)

[swishologist]

[Mofolamarmotte]

USE YOUR EYES!

[CorruptedNight]

[Izzzywizzy]

[ettium]

he reminds me of my art teacher

[koolkat250]

Can you make a video of how to pedal or brake as well?

[kungpowkaratechopper]

this was rediculas. "hi i'm gonna say a whole pile of words when really I could just say 'Use common sense"

[zaphod2]

i thought the tips were fine

[bobadobalus]

WHAT THE FUCK apparently if you look at a big jump you can make it. however big it is, as long as you look at it yu'll make it...??!!!

[11thaman11]

LMAO, wat we superman or somethin lol.

[germankid93]

psh, I know I am

[11thaman11]

sooooooo true.

[shadower1928]

keep your outside foot down because if you turn really hard and your inside pedal is down, you could catch the pedal on the ground. If your outside foot is down you can take harder turns.

[PillowcaseHead]

All Expert Village videos suck, cause they're hardly expert at all.

I always end up having to 1 star most of them because they contain poor advice....

[KawabungaFartingDude]

This is shit. Why keep your outside foot up? Just keep them leveled so you can adjust if anything comes up, and of what use is it for me to see this guy turning at 1 mph on flat land speaking about switchbacks on trails? SHOW THE DAMN THING THAT'S WHY IT'S YOUTUBE NOT RADIO!!!

[mac777daddy]

Only reason I could think of is if you turn a switch back on a tight turn and your inside foot is down the pedal might hit the ground or rock etc......

[universeANDback]

Look where you wanna go, and you'll go there? I hope you're not getting paid to make these videos. They make you look like a retard. Go where ever the fack you want? ;P

[8codeman8]

haha, asif they teach you this im laughing histaricly watching this!

[sandberg70]

if you have double v brakes(the normal ones) you may have more chanse to fall, if you have the hydrolic disk brakes you may have a chanse to brake befora a three^^ sry for my bad english-.-'

[aslovre]

i think theat is for mtb is beter normal brakes beacuse when yu fall you can demageg you disc and repeait cost about 200$ but vit normal breaks with nothing heppens when you fall and yuo will fall sorry about my bad english

[FuckMePictures]

It will not cost 200$ , just buy a new disc arround 90$ and thats ok , or you still can make it straight

[mac777daddy]

I doubt that. You can brake anything on the bike is you wreck or fall. Disc brakes rule over old style v brakes.........

[SoulGraffiti]

this man is hilarious

[shorerydr10]

lol his face is messed up cus of the res
