Featuring On-Trail | MTB Skills: Practice Like a Pro #34

Спорт

Back in Episode #6, we practiced featuring using a Feature Board to get repetition in a controlled environment. Today, Simon and @linnearooke are applying those skills in the wild and testing them on Tiger Mountain's most famous trail, Predator.

ABOUT SIMON LAWTON
Following his own Pro Downhill mountain bike racing career, Simon Lawton (Owner and Founder) has spent the last 25 years analyzing the top riders in the world to understand the tiniest details that contribute to their greatest successes, and also any weaknesses that are holding them back. With an exceptional understanding of kinesiology, Simon has developed his own teaching curriculum that explains the incredible relationship between human and machine. He has trained top pro mountain bike racers across the world, and his foundational techniques apply equally to beginner riders. His on-bike drills allow you to break down complex skills on the bike and develop correct techniques.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but until this year she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.

    Really nice session guys, great riding! I think I'd like to see Linnea compress her susp a little more before jumps. On camera it looks like she's working a bit too hard to "lift the bike" instead of letting the susp do the work and pop her up. Cheers!

    Just so everyone watching knows, the "GoPro effect" is in full force in this vid. Predator is a legit double black trail and way more aggressive than it looks here - the quashing and airing over those features and zipping down those two (STEEP) rock gardens toward the end is very impressive.

    Just for grins, what tire pressures are you riding? I know you're tiny, but I could mathematically compensate for the weight difference for reference. You never ask a lady what they weigh. BTW, was that a cut or a tire deflection flat? What are your thoughts on foam inserts, like CushCore, to prevent that instance?

    I run mid 20's to high 20's and sometimes as high as 30. I was likely at around 26 in the rear and 24 in the front for this episode since the ground was dry and really slippery in the turns. Would have run more if pushing super hard. Linnea runs a similar amount of air. I sometimes use a Cush Core in the rear - like in the Alps. Linnea's rim was failing and splitting so the liquid all came out. She just needed a new rim...for a while! She doesn't need Cush Core at her weight. This was her first flat tire ever, so no need for her to run it. I don't think they are necessary for most riders these days. For really heavy people, super fast people, and e-bikes it can make sense. -Simon
