[Monkaloptapus]

Sure this is a great vid to any enthusiast. I am sure none of us here are pros. Good work dude.

[Hammond1467]

THAT WAS COOL NOT!!!!



[MinecraftPIGbomb]

1:07 made me lol at how he went by! XD But good vid!

[supergenomekiller]

guys the insults are not necessary these tuttorials are for beginners and intermediate riders who want to better themselves. if you think your good enough to not learn, then please search mountain bike tricks and stop commenting negatively, thanks.

[2mustange]

Thanks for the tip

[Halpin9T4]

He sounds like Michael Cera

[boazclark]

I have watched allot of your videos and I would hate to ride with all those leaves on the trail!!

[MajorHuck]

@andyman1005 you missed out that he's a dog rapist in his spare time.

[MajorHuck]

@adam1collins this guy will get you killed if you follow his advice. that is why everyone thinks he's a douche monkey

[endo0o]

he's talking only shit like always ... if u know nothing about riding .... pls dont listen him !

[adrenalinejunkie821]

nice vid

[originalhoboboh]

@andyman1005 Make your own video fuckhead!

[MrBeenis]

@andyman1005 youre a goof

[HiruMihnea]

90% of expertvillage biking videos are complete SHIT !

I`m not hating on the guy or the initiative to make these videos trying to help others...not at all, but it just doesn`t feel like they`re doing it right, and most of these guys are not good enough to teach others how to do stuff !

[flippy0450]

[Niko6888]

his vids are funny

[LifeOfHerb420]

probably not such a great idea to put all your weight on the handlebars as you take a fast, but very slight turn like that. i would be more concerned with where im focusing my attention with my eyes. usually if you pick a line, keep your momentum, and maintain the appropriate balance for the pitch and difficulty of the terrain you should be fine. you'll head exactly where you're looking at as long as your body follows through and flows into the turn.

[steekify92]

whats with all the hating? dude made a video to help people, if it dont help you then just dont fuckin watch it you retards, whatever he does works for him so it isnt wrong, stop being so pathetic

[MarkLn1]

that just looked like a turn not a drift

[x1expert1x]

when didu do it i didnt see.

[freerunnerman888]

@x1expert1x lol

[dirtTdude]

uhh... lean back, steer early and break late. skidding and sliding is hard on the trail, creates erosion, its hard on your rear wheel. leaning forward to unweight your rear wheel at speed is a recipe for going over the bars every time...

[yocatmeow14]

not good place for fiding

[xxWOwixx]

he is fat :-)

[Niko6888]

@xxWOwixx lol



[7PinkFloyd7]

this place looks kinda like it sucks for riding

[nicholas90ify]

[x1expert1x]

[BlakeKawalec]

[theguyformelyknownas]

He rides the Bike like a pussy, muahahahaah

[ItsDanCog]

tbh he rode that better than i was expecting, i bet he's faster than most of you guys...

[lacongerasambera]

WOW ur good.!!!

[SkankyEJ7]

Execution of technique:  0/10

[Ryanpusslover]

[KingxXxDan]

[TonyParanoit]

I love how He puts that foot down

[foxracer12ful]

i agree with crababable it is dh its suposed to be rough so dont be a little pussy and bitch about rough trails

[Sikproduktion]

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!! LOL =P

[L4x8lo0dz]

If this guy didnt know..skidding causes breaking bumps..which causes gayness. If anyone has ridin whistler they know what im talkin about

[venskus2009]

yeah...thats powersliding...

[sgeorge001]

has he shit himself? 0.56

[TonyParanoit]

Thats Horrible

[sgeorge001]

made me chuckle

[edref2]

don't skid on the trail

its not cool

you don't look cool

use the front break instead to slow down

you can skid when on roads so that its ruining you tires rather than on the trail when its just ruining the surface for the next rider

there are bits of surface at the mountain biking park that i go to that are really crap cos people like you are to scared to use their front break

"oh no, i might go over the handlebars!!"

dont skid

it aint cool

[mejfletch]

What was that? He got about two cm of slude.

Anyway, I agree with Edref2 skidding isn't cool. It slows you down and wrecks the trail. If you lose control like I have a few times, then by all means, hold it until you can straighten up, it's fun, but holding on the rear brake is just pointless.

[TonyParanoit]

Im guilty of that, but nobody learns right away

[T4STYDUBST3P]

@edref2 Haha ruins the trail for the next guy? If you had actually ever downhills you would know that its about uneven terrain. So Im sure it doesnt matter if it gets torn up.

Oh and in this vid he is definatley riding a nice smooth trail with no leaves on it whats so ever isn't he. Does it really matter if he skids?

[nimdawf]

drifting is when the wheels are spinning not when they are locked up that is called "sliding"

[mtbrider253]

too "drift a bike" dont you haf to going alot faster and keeping both feet on the pedals. ive never laughed so hard a bike rider in my life

[pablobombahonorato2]

anda comer burguer kin wn picao a biker xDD

[didiGDA]

que lolll vai pa casa perde mas é a barriga o gordo

[alimay2k8]

a pice of shit

lol the boy nearly fell lol wat a dick doesnt know how to ride

[uberbikin]

what bike is that?

[jokeren123]

this next thing you (obviusly) dont understand so ill explain it to you:

YOU ARE NOT A PRO -so stop fucking acting like one you are a bike mechanic so stay in the garage where you belong and let the pros do the riding...

...JESUS!!!

[b7rabbitgrzes]

1:08-09 - aha... xDDDD

[jattymaniac]

what a twat

[Bikeboy111]

Pussy put his foot down!

[nosurkantlo]

Is this helpful? NO! Learn how to ride, and then teach. Putting down your feet..... please!

[bsr35802]

he put his foot down on the turn.... seriously?

[100yungD100]

lol he came off his bike ? lol it isnt that hard isit?

[mac777daddy]

Take the bike back to walmart dude.

[muipuinils]

there is no drift in germany we call it (wedeln-but that was just s..t) And sorry how need that. just go out and earn some skills

[KAndrewBlade]

wow. now I know not to watch their other videos.

[longlastin12]

lol, im with you, were was the drift, i was too concentrated on the fact that he pushed his bike up the hill 20 feet, lmao, fatty cant ride up hill?

[harry199016]

[chembhoy]

[sandellzach]

ha ha ha this guy is a joke! ha ha haha ha ha ha

[shufflespack]

hahah

[skrewlege]

so embarassing

[b2sfan]

i think he whent to farst

[gunnerpig]

thats rubbish , basically turning fast compared o other vids

[Flare1564]

Thats ridiculous. Seriously, all you ahve to do is throw around your weight on near the rear.

[scnitzel412]

i think these probably will help for beginners as hes giving u techniques so u dont come off n hurt yaself, but theres no better way to learn than experience

[GazzaSaxon]

omg this is comedy, hes having a bubble. he didnt even do one pedal stroke and he got out of breath, lol!.

[Grsz11]

Not like theres a dozen other videos he filmed at the same time on the right...

[znilec]

s 00:40, watch the hips, I think Shakira would be jealous. Man you got some moves!

[natebrom]

watching these vids are the most stupid thing you can do when wanting to ride a bike, just go out to your local trail and take is as it comes, and learn it on your own

[rompesaraguei]

Great Advice! You have to become one with your bike and nature!

HA!

[natebrom]

cheers mate

[supershiznits]

This is so jokes. Just stop watching and go ride. I really think this is not going to help.

[spunts144]

I kinda agree with these guys... Although watching other people actually doing the shit, well try the most basic things that people do. The most basic techniques, and well use them to your advantage...

Watch and learn in other words...

Try it on your own but have fun. =) Where this guy is right is on account of gaining personal experience. Its the truth...

[l33tsoss]

because pikes are totally a xc fork right?

[yacuzah]

pike is AM -.-

[l33tsoss]

still different than XC :/

[power22332]

lol, if he had his foot on the ground a sec more he would crash in to the next tree.

[marcimpala]

Hey, I went out this weekend and tried this technique out my local trails and after a few tries, was drifting like a pro. It also greatly improved my speed...great tip thanks!

[bdoops]

0:52 it looks like he pooped his pants

[ph1lo]

what was the point in that first skid thing you did? the section is basicaly straight.that kinda unnecessary shit is just going to slow you down or possibly send you into a tree one of these days. peace out!

[eyeDfy]

If all these responders are such experts, why are they looking up 'tips' for mtb'ing, anyhow?

[Medium0Rare]

lame... I was hoping he'd hit the tree...

[filhockey]

lol it'd be great XD

[semajsemajfuckfuck]

anyone else thinking of that movie american pie?

this is wot i imagine jims dad would have been like if he did mountain biking as a boy.

[semajsemajfuckfuck]

these videos are great i havent had so many laughs in ages. is this for real?

[bean5022]

personally i would not call that a "drift"

[Nby21Blog]

drift is when ur rear wheel spins and u u keep contorl in cornering ... when you lock the rear wheel that is called skiding

[theyungbuljay]

@bean5022 personly that is a drift i bet you cant do it

[NameUsedAlready]

+1

you do not need to brake to do this. Instead you need speed + weight the front bar +lean angle=natural drift, and then the rear will come back in line and follow the front wherever it has gone

[ukeespencer]

lol its true, i barely rake for cornering if im goin that slow

[ZMC888]

Tap your back or rear brake?

You say back, but you press front to demonstrate.

[31951]

Dear Expert Village, to do a drift on a bike you do not need to apply your back brakes, it is about speed and terrain though a skid is used with your back brakes. i think there was an error. i am a professional downhiller by the way, not a scammer. The guy who did that did not perform a drift or a skid he just locked up his back wheel and stuck his foot out. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

[sunzbckkk]

lol so tru
