I hope he becomes a regular

I think GCN and Lasty are very classy in treating this man with great respect, and for honouring the fact that he is doing this entire video in a second language. Possibly even a third. Big ups!

The skill by Sven is just poetry in motion to watch, a true and total campione 🙏 - this GCN is a classic ! 😘

"I'm not going to tell what your going to feel"; that about sums it up.

So true!

Sven's explanation: Fairly understandable to good. Sven's execution: Master class. Time to toast some "mineral waters."

Interesting to see what an ex-pro's choice in equipment is now without sponsor obligations. Manufacturers have been pushing for disc brakes in all areas of cycling & to see Sven choose cantis over disc is interesting.

cool dat sven nys wereldwijd gaat! echt vet om hem hier te zien

For me, this video really confirmed Tom Last as GCNs resident authority on cyclocross content. Definitely he needs Matt's old red chair for retro tech in the old GCN show red couch days!

Fantastic. Award Sven a Get-Off-And-On Bazooka. Matt could learn a lot from this, especially his remounting technique.

Sven is a good teacher

Sven is my hero💜 i am happy that i discovered this vid

best "how to" by far! Sven nys legend!!

Rather a long time since an interesting video was uploaded. Thx guys.

Trek specter jersey is awesome! I now feel like Sven.

Never thought I would be so mesmerised by slow motion footage of a man jumping on a bike saddle.............

brace your hip against the saddle as you move your hand from the hoods to the top tube. It's not mentioned, but you can see Sven do this. Otherwise, it's very hard to balance without both hands on the bars. Was having a hard time learning last night before i realized this.

Yes!!! I'be been waiting for a video like this!

Look at the difference between Sven and Lasty through the barriers at the end of this video. Note how Sven picks up his bike and the saddle is to the outside of his shoulder where Lasty picks it up and the saddle goes into his arm pit. This is an important difference especially for smaller riders. Your bike will not clear the barrier if the gap between your saddle and your armpit is less than the height of the barrier. Always pick your bike up like Sven with the saddle outside your shoulder.

wow he's not only good at cyclocross, he's also a great teacher! very cool!

He teaches and cheers his son on. What better teacher to have than, Sven. Thanks for getting him on!

this is really cool, made me want to try cyclocross, thanks !

Great video Tom. Excellent job.

The clipping in section was obviously included for Matts benefit.......the same can be said for the dismount of an obstacle! a log perhaps!

4:36 LOL! :) Put a smile on my face, great video Sven!

The King of Cross speaks :-) thx@GCN for getting Sven onboard !!

Fantastic vid. Thanks!

Great video. Thanks fellas.

Love it! More Sven! :) Thanks for the great video!

Sorry, guys, but the way Sven teaches is absolutely flawless. You actually feel glad after watching this. Sorry again, and thank you, guys.

Brilliant video! Makes me want to cyclocross!

Very good explained !

one of your best video, super interesting

Great video.

The skill not covered here is make sure you can pick your feet up far enough over the hurdles after almost an hour at threshold - I discovered how hard this can be a few weeks ago and nearly sent myself cartwheeling! :)

Matt! At 4.04, for stability, hold the top of the top of the bar first ...

Sven........Excellent job

Total masterclass

Video of the year

That's what I worried about 4:30 technique, yeah my balls.

all of these are one of the most important parts apparently

4:14 When he remount, he use his inner thigh first and slide an inch or two to the right position. The process is so smooth that even himself didn't notice it.

I just started racing CX and this is damn hard at anything but toddler-walking pace.

Lasty was literally speechless 😂

More Sven please

I like how he says "Click In" your pedals. It's got a nice ring to it. And I also thought he was going to Bunny Hop in the video but that didn't happen. :( Great video though.

YEAH, that's a cool video!!

Lasty looks delighted to be with a legend of 'cross. #restingbrickface

amazing. so great that you got him guys. Lasty, what do you mean 'one' of the best cx'rs of all time??!!

sven is great now i know how to do I'm going to try

hihi 'to see a video of CCN' 😃

Sven Teaches how to train for balls of steel

Legend

Legend oh my god.

All i could think was about landing on my nuts but then he said it. xD

GCN video of the year - How To Get Off And On Your Cyclocross Bike | CX Skills With Sven Nys

gold. thanks

master class

Simple individual manoeuvres but, added-up together, could save you minutes in competition

Pretty useful for triathletes as well

im worried if matt tried these stunts

sweet 1X11 setup

Just compare colour of Lasty's and Sven's skin... Just like Geoffrey Soupe's Orbea Orca paint job!

Can Matt clip in after getting off tho'

The problem with cross bikes such as Cannondale CaadX is that the top tube (standover height) is so high. So it only makes sense to mount it using too much acrobatics, like in the move Sven jumping over the saddle. I actually had to go a size down in CaadX size in order to have a standover height useable for both road and off road.

Did he say CCN? Cyclo Cross Network?? Count me in!

This is what we call "Breaking it down Barney style."

I'm just wandering that due to the terrain of the course you guys may need to get off & on at the right side of your bike. Do you do take this practice yourself or not? Thanks.

ik ben van belgium

I love the way they mount the barrier completely in step, on the same foot. Was that an accident or did you do several runs at it until you achieved the choreographed look?!

stustjohn it's Sven Nys. He can do that blindfolded.

hi gcn, is it worth it to upgrade a low end front brake caliper to an ultegra?

Currently cyclists are learning the bunny hop!

thats great and all but can we talk about the two absolute champs at 6:39 who jumped the obstacles without even dismounting?

Having started cyclocross this season this is helpful but carrying a bike on your shoulder when its as light as his is no problem but when its a heavier bike like mine its a bit different!

I'm as slow as a turtle with my 20kg bike on my shoulder :D

So is being cross chained better for acceleration if the course demands it?

Hi, is there a trick not to get stuck with my right leg when I get off my cyclocross bike? Do you think, that the saddle is too high?

OMG! Why does Lasty look so miserable?! He's standing next to Sven Nys! How can he not be more excited?

Looks like Sven and Lasty were working on synchro-cross when going over those barriers together.

This looks like Wisconsin. Is this in Wisconsin?

CCN = Cyclocross Cycling Network Guys, are you planning a new channel?

Well that's all well and good. And I'm sure it's quite useful in cyclocross. But it's no reverse pivot thingamajig that Matt showed us last week.

i thought they already made a video like this

ChristianXRdz2 channel they have. From two CX seasons ago if I'm not mistaken. But this time it is with Sven Nys! And also I am guessing that it is good for newer viewers who have not seen the previous videos....

who's the GCN rider in the background at 6:17 ?

Is cross chaining a CX skill? A 'no-no' on the road but ok in the mud? :)

Look where your pedals are positioned before hopping on so you can clip in quickly

Looking at his body fat percentage, I'm wondering: is Sven actually aware he's not a pro anymore? Mad respect!

@Matt Stephens - skip straight to 5:00 minutes.

Sven should should join the GCN presenters team

which gcn rider is that in the back???

I have a heavy bike with external routing under the top tube. Any ideas of how I could shoulder with out chopping up my shoulder/neck?

you could consider a shoulder support to, that goes down one arm and fastens across chest under other arm.

He runs way better than Chris Froome.

I still cannot understand how road handlebars can better than flats for this kind of riding

Ahhh cool like he can jump on the bike... Thumb up! Great!! I try it next weekend... urgh...

On the flat this can make sense, but I've discovered on some heavily cambered courses it can be useful to be able to do it on both sides. Also some top riders don't seem to do so - Kevin Pauwels for instance can often be seen dismounting drive side.
