Lot's of good information here. I'd like to see this technique on semi-rotted hemlock that is still solid but with no bark, wet and humid, on an angle in an eastern woods setting. In that condition, you are essentially hitting a piece of smooth ice with your wheels. My crashes are spectacular.

I love this channel! I sit here in my cubicle dreaming about riding and I also get to listen to some tips on how to ride better so I can ruminate and then put them to use when I get to ride I suppose. I rode to work today too. Might have to get some practice on my lunch break!

Mate, your channel is gold! Thank you.

You’re doing a great job rich! Putting all your tips into practice and getting better every day! 👍

1 failed attempt, 100 successful... You're such a good rider! Makes it look so easy! As allways perfectly explained! Makes us want to ride! 🙂

When I was a kid riding with my dad a lot I noticed that you had to hit down trees straight on. Every time I hit one I did weird angle with rotto soon as that's spinning back higher hits the tree the bike takes out slides on the tree like I'm grinding a rail on a skateboard. So everything you said in the air makes sense to me thanks rich

Could you do a break down between the VE35 and IX-05H front tires? Or if you already have a good explanation could you point me towards that video. Thanks

Earlier this year on a trail I called "the log hop trail" we had a log that was about 18", elevated, on a side hill, at an angle on the approach and up hill. Comedy ensued!
