Mtb kickouts for tight turns and switchbacks

Practice this easy maneuver for tight turns and switchbacks if you have them in your area.

The two switchbacks are wide enough to make the turn, the kickout was done for an example.

This is joke, right?

@KEEPitSTUPID, ug well, it's meant for really tight switchbacks that are so tight, your unable to get around without putting a foot down. This one's that I'm on here are not tight, I just used them for the example. If nothing else, new riders will get more control over their bikes with a partial 'track stand'.

Is it possible to do it on a flat peddle? I tried it on a flat terrain and crashed. I injured my ankle too.

@mechael, yes, you just need to practice a little. Lean forward and put 80% of your weight on the front tire...

Hahaha. Mad respect man!! some newbies are going to meet the ground trying this hahaha. Took me a while to learn I remember haha.

@GrappyFlappy......maybe, they should not practice on the trail! You can see that a mistake may cause some injuries where I'm at...

Awesome dude, since I'm new to mountain biking, I always have to put a footdown to turn in a switchback, but I'm definitely going to try this!

@HealthyNactive yeah its a pretty good bike. i got an amazing deal for it on eBay. came with £600 of upgrades and got it from a guy who one day decided to mountain bike and he'd never used it! the tyres still had the little rubber nipples on them from the factory! got it for about 25% of the new price. i do like the santa cruz bikes, i really want a nomad frame but i just cant afford it lol. funny what pops up on ebay though
