sorry i don't agree with the comments with the levers i tried this once and could not snap at the brakes quick enough and ended up in hospital, i have now gone back to the 45 degree angle, also would just like to state if you have to lift your fingers like shown in the video to pick at the lever it put's your wrist out of line making it weaker and more prone to brakes if through your forearm and through your wrist and down the fingers through the brake are all straight it makes pt1 sorry

[BigVDrums]

This guy needs to calm down.

[MrAndyy2009]

These vids are brilliant, they just dont work on ipods!

[LoveOutDoorSports]

I found this video to very informative and I will be going out this evening to try the "skinny bit" techniques.

them gear brake 2 in 1 units are crap

[icebearlover14]

@06tolsonl

I would disagree.

[06tolsonl]

@icebearlover14 they look shit coz they masive

[icebearlover14]

@06tolsonl

OK so let me get this straight...

You would buy something not for connivence but for looks? I mean sometimes looks is important too.

Secondly you are riding trails there is usually not that many riders near you.

I mean a hummer is massive and looks like shit but if you were to drive around offroad would you use a ferrari or the hummer?

Plus learn how to spell

They look like shit because they are massive.

[06tolsonl]

@icebearlover14 buy seperate units, i also ride downhil/cross terrain i have hope brakes and sram gears and its fine for me, they also look like bricks

[MrWowgoon]

the guy looks like a crimanal. :S

[hallstewart]

I generally prefer to have my levers "up" a bit more so that I drop and stick out my elbows, not drop my wrists, and overall lower my torso. I find have more flexible movement available then.

[AVRILSBEAN]

There should be kebab shop on every trail.

[pyroman675]

[bloodshot16]

[PublicSafetyWarnings]

Most (nearly all) of the actual riding shots are at cannock chase

eg

th skinniy bit

the drop off bit

just if you wanna have a go yourself :)

[abjectboy]

No offence taken. I don't really see it as right or wrong advice in this matter, as Dave is says in the piece, this is what 'normally' works, but hey... whatever works for you that's cool with me. Thanks for your comments.

[connla]

I feel the advise given is extreamly helpfull and I want to subscribe and tel everyone here in Ireland to do the same. Keep on Trooping guys!!!

[abjectboy]

I'm confused by your comments Psychlopath. Are you saying the lever position is utter rubbish then agreeing with the advice? FYI Dave Smith is an ex Olympic cycling trainer and professional mountain bike coach. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the show ;) AB

[Psychlopath]

I am saying a raised lever position is a positive thing, rolling wrists forwards loses control and should be avoided, raised levers position stops over rotation and falling forward on bike. Try it. I know exactly who Dave Smith is. Not meaning to cause any offense but on this he is wrong in this instance.

[abjectboy]

As Dave says, this is what 'normally' works, if something feels better and safer for you, that's cool too. Thanks for your comments.

[Psychlopath]

Advice on lever position is utter rubish. Higher level position encourages a break in the wrist and prevents over rotation on bike. Lower levers means rolling wrist forward and weakening position on bike.

[bedbugg1]

you got served XD

nice jacked
