This how to mountain bike video, shows me riding off a curb with my weight back and arms extended. Notice how I get "pitched forward" as my arms are yanked down the curb. Also notice how my entire body weight drops the same height has the curb, Ker plunk! Imagine if the obstacle was a little bigger and I was on steep hill! Imagine how much worse this would of been if I was squeezing the seat with my thighs. Have you ever had the feeling of being pitched forward on a descent? for more info check out my blog at betterride.net

  • Great short videos and explanations on proper body position and technique. You can really see the difference on how the body reacts by just riding off a curb.
