Mountain Biking and Trail Riding : Bike Positioning for Mountain Biking

[Guesswhokk]

So, what is the correct position? any vid?

[slkjohn]

Expert Village is, without fail, shit.

[mrtheroosterdude]

DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THIS CHICK SAYS!!!! If you have any bike questions, contact me. I was trained by a biker who placed 2nd in the entire state of Wisconsin. So if you have any questions, contact me. I'll be more than happy to answer them :-).

[javaleira]

there are 3 basic mountain biking position..one where ur feat are on pedals...the other ur feet are on the pefals and the last one the feet are on pedals and ass on seat.

[blindxsv]

this is a no shit moment.. this is retarded

[crystalisify]

isnt it better to sit down when climbing, if not stand up a little bit infront of the seat so ur front wheel doesnt fly up?

[aartappelgroot]

The worst possible person to instruct on video.

[soalman12]

All those posistions are wrong anf they are just the basic styles, dude for climbing and flat u wanna stay in ur seat as much as posible cos then ther no wheel spin and lower center of gravity, so you are sooo wrong.

[Sapoconcho7]

bad bad bad bad ...... and very bad

[mushroomh3ad]

She sounds like one of those bitch ladies who is talking to kids about how to ride one, her tone of voice, and its not a saddle, ITS A FUCKING SEAT!

[lacongerasambera]

yeah its not country or Memphis Tennesee

[crystalisify]

if ur behind the saddle and ur a guy, if u hit something with ur front tire, doesnt ur "place" hit the back of the seat

[blackdragonfish]

She's right. But god she reminds me of Busch trying to give a speech

[edgeof1]

hi debbie

[fullyOwned]

[thed1rt]

well, you were wrong... almost entirely in fact.

[bouffslave]

[kimchijeegeah2]

[ownd1000souls]

[0091paddy]

How can you be talking for everyone? Idiot.

[Grsz11]

then why watch?

[875forever]

cool. nice biking!

[scbdotcom]

For sure, not everyone needs a world champion to show them how it's done right, but for those who DO WANT TO SEE It DONE RIGHT there are world champions at the Bikeskills Channnel (user/bikeskills)

[munrubenmario]

Didn't your mum ever tell you blokes if you haven't got something nice to say then don't say it at all.

Obviously everyone who watches these videos are olympic or world champion mtb'ers judging by the comments. Get over yourselves.

Youtube seems to be for knobheads big noting themselves on just about every subject known to man.

[Invisit]

Ur making the same dude...

[liveyouroutdoors]

Nice Video...especially for beginners. Everybody should know these basic tips!

[virtualmaximum]

That's really good info for beginners, and even some experienced mountain bikers.

[Hazza36s]

thankyou

[kthekid]

SIZZAR ME!

[flitzere]

päddl, sättl. läävel...wiederliche sprache!!!

[fleckmantis]

äce of späts ;)

[rocktheflow]

thanks heaps for the info! Just about to get into mountain biking, and this is really helpful. Thank you! :D

[mongorich]

Good tips for beginners, thank you.

Why some people feel compelled to make negative comments on videos produced to help people is beyond me.

You are not funny, you are losers. Keep it to yourself.

[cny70]

Thanks for the tips.

[raoultittel23]

Good basic information.

You know, some of us have to start somewhere and this info is pretty useful. I love all these 'Its all just natural' and 'gee why dont you know this already?' mega-stars who are obviously excellent mountain bike riders. You do have the option of not watching this stuff. Hey I know, why don't you tell us how to do it! I'm sure you can to a better job than her, can't you?

[000ruprecht000]

I think the videos are helpful. I don't understand why people watch this video then comment about how they are the best mountain bikers in the world and this video is for noobs. We YOU were watching it....weren't you?

[davey11222000]

how the fuck is that hippo gonna avoid obstacles hahahahahaha

[centereddude]

wow. easy to talk shit when you're anonymous...grow a fucking heart, asshole.

[RandomHero565]

its gd to know the basics,if uve never been propa moutain biking b4 then u need to no this stuff, but 4 pple like me and alot of other pple hu r watching this we no it all alredy, its a natural thing tht comes to u wen ure riding!

[kyneff]

lol this balance stuff is kind of a natural thing...lol if ur leaning foward going downhill ur not very smart

[slomo8888]

wow...she revealed the secret...

[crolee]

Thanks for posting, it's good to know the basics.

[mrspiffy1981]

The points about positioning over the saddle definitely need conscious effort for beginners. I would disagree with pedal positions. on corners at speed it's usually better to drop your outside pedal to lower the centre of gravity and keep the inside pedal out of the way, tbh, most of that is common sense.

[WhitlockSam]

If you don't know this and are try to learn this from a video, you will never get it. Most of the stuff about biking on trails and downhill has to be learned by experience!

[sk8erboy6619]

this is just common sense 2 balance ur weight

[crs7986]

you are a fat lesbian that probably sucks at mountain biking.

[djm17723]

hmm common sense?

[SolidKnight]

You'll almost instinctively do these things.

[mackiej12]

thought the video was good. Good tips for those new to biking.

[Strip3dSw3ater]

THIS LADY SUCKS BALLS!

[ApexIXMR]

This is common sense. If you didn't know the stuff she said in the video, maybe you shouldn't be mtn biking yet. Start out on paved trails or something.

[vergolapio]

yea dude, i knew this positions since i was kid riding my little bike, its just balancing your self, otherwise youll get smack on the floor, i agree with you dude, its just common sense

[nakedrussian]

You'd thing that people a part of the "expert" Village would already know this. And that the admin of this expert village are experts enough to know that no one is going to watch a video and wonder "what did debbie say was the correct way to ride?" when they get out there. Give me my life back..

[toadmann7]

owned!!!!!!!

[middlefingers7]

buy a kickstand.

[lukessupercow]

what a shit video. jesus if you need to watch a video on how to ride basic stuff you shoul'nt touch a bike.

[roas2]

more women bikers please!

[Animallover1890]

thank you :)

[LiviMacer]

i second "knocker83

[knocker83]

debbie is it? bike position is it? shut your fat stupid ugly mouth and get a life. slag.

[Jpmadore1]

Yes, you really should.

[fatusd]

just go out and ride you will learn how faster by being on your bike more

[vidmasterlivenl]

Listen up, i'm a m-biker myself and i got a few tips to add to the video. 0:45 if your a guy you have got to stand as high as possible (believe me). 0:55 don't use there is lets say a rock in front off you you will lose your balance very quickly try to put more weight on the steer to improve the grip off your front weel. If you just started mb keep on the sadle when you climb.

[HallWack]

That's mostly intuitive and comes with riding...

[canmoron]

2 fundamental elements missed. 1. When climbing ELBOWS DOWN (not just bent as described here). Elbows down lowers the centre of gravity, forces you to naturally move forward on the bike and allows for much greater low speed control without the common error of over-correction. 2. On steep descents, a neutral position allows for much greater directional control, as opposed to the behind-the-seat (old-school) style. Braking skills are honed and much greater balance and control are achieved.

[charlou3]

You don't need that king of video to know of to ride... Just RIDE YOUR BIKE!!! And you'll be fine with your positioning, you'll learn everything by riding.

[inteinsi]

Good for beginners...like me :-)...

[Filipei7]

im sorry but you would have to not know how to ride a bike if you didnt know these things. And sometimes when I climb I lean back a little to dig my back tire in and get some traction

[gurusam666]

for a beginner this is pretty helpful but ive been riding for almost 8 years (im almost 16 now) and theres alot more to it when you get to the big obstacles where you have to sort of rock over and pedaling without moving the tires side to side also the lower leg adjustmens for riding some northshore stuff but great video for a beginner or a recreational rider

[JackupCyrus]

HEY GO BACK TO SCHOOL OR STAY IN IT, MAYBE TAKE A ENGLISH CLASS, I DONT KNOW DO SOMETHING... sorry for the CAPS!

[gurusam666]

well, i am in school, in fact, i am in the ib program. this means i am taking higher level classes than you took in college (if you even went, which i doubt you did since you still spend you friday nights trying to make fun of teenagers who are, in fact, smarter than you) also instead of apologizing for your lack of computer skill, you could have hit the backspace button and retyped your three lines of stupidity.

[Teboner92]

oooooo international baccalaureate. that's fun. My mom had to go to a conference out in L.A. for it and i'm not sure she likes it too much. But we also have a douchebag govenor (baldacci) that like cutting 21 million dollars from education funding

[teedubyo]

'an' English class

[gurusam666]

good point lol

[Coupesm]

JackupCyrus... ripped

[badopinion]

AWAY ! ! ! ! ! !

[hollymade]

Nice video, well explained

[tlsaterbo]

This is really helpful- I a m a rookie, and I have had trouble with the hi-ho silver front wheel on inclines- Thank you for taking the time to do this :)
