A lot of people say "stand up" or "ride taller" but the rationalization explaining how being tall gives you more space to recover from mistakes was a new way of thinking of it, and that's pretty cool.

And plus you are less fatigue. I did notice that after riding a day in the bikepark. The next day could hardly move my legs because I rode squatted all day long. And I did that because I was told to get in the Attack Position as soon as I am on the trail...so the this was the best advice for me

Standing up for better handling and creating more «travel» with arms and legs. Damn that makes such a huge difference

Damn it, **That moment when you realize you're still a joey. I've become a half way decent rider in the last few years and was watching this thinking, I don't think I bend at the legs and crouch like that...do I? Got up to the trail today and tried standing more upright and was like f**k I really do normally bend my legs like that. Used a more upright posture today and I was actually struggling to cope with how quick the trail was coming at me. Forget better in a day, better in a second. I think I'm going to have to raise my stem by just a few mm but I was really shocked by the fact that I was instantly able to ride way faster. Thank you so much for making videos like this Remy! You're literally changing peoples lives!

Your scientific approach to mountain biking makes these how-to videos great. Hope to see more of these. Maybe a tutorial on your drop technique?

I am a beginner Trail rider, I have watched and applied riding tall to my local trail and it was a night and day difference. I gained a ton of confidence knowing I can adjust when the situation require.

Standing tall, heels down, outer foot down - taking making mental notes for next ride

I think this is one of the best videos from Remy. Would love to see more of such videos from Remy. It's not only entertaining, but informative & educational. As people say, providing education is the best way to give back to community.

I’m loving your content Remy! I have been trying to adopt your tall fairly straight leg neutral position for a year now and I still find I tend to sit down. I cant believe my eyes when you corner so fast even is flat corners up so high. I have noticed I am not ready to double features that come up fast when riding at my 90% pace because I’m not at neutral and already too low to compress the bike forcefully. Your video has inspired me to take the time to regularly be critical of my riding to keep working on mistakes and progressing. Thank you!

Awesome Rémy. Can’t understand why people give videos like this the thumbs down, they can’t be riders or they would understand.

Well, I think 3 out of 2000+ is still a good quota;)

Absolutely love the methodical approach to skill building, especially the concept of riding slow to be fast. Brake control buys you time to make decisions, and instills confidence that ‘it’s not an emergency’. One significant enhancement to your videos would be slow motion shots to emphasize the difference between you and your student. Stance, cornering position, eye gaze, etc. would be much easier to see at a slower / longer time scale. The KZread controls to slow the video 0.25x don’t really have the same effect as 240FPS. Thank you for all you share with the community, and keep killing it!!!

Some great little pearls of wisdom, merci Rémy ! What stood out for me, was 1) using the compression after a steep section for traction; 2) using mostly front brake (and dropping both heels) on slab descents; and 3) validation: weighting & dropping the outside leg (as a skier, that is a default and as a former roadie, what I always did - but a lot of mtb'rs are in denial about that when cornering, so ty) - particularly on off-camber descents!

Remy, I think your are possibly the most analytical rider on earth. Really smart breakdowns of riding motion. Keep it up my brother!

As much as I love watching you shred gnarly lines with pros, this was super beneficial to me as a new rider. Would love to see more content like this! I definitely need to ride taller and remember to drop my outside foot!

Awesome Video Remy, you are an incredible good teacher/coach :D

This straight legs tip changed my life! Thanks so much Remy

What an awesome coach. I get more from Remy's videos than any others. He's so analytical of his own riding and so aware of what minor adjustments are needed, he can pin down the proper advice.

The standing tall really hit me. I think I am guilty of being too low. I was thinking about that the whole way trough the video and it made perfect sense. Everything they are riding looks much easier when you have more room to maneuver the bike around. Also that might be a reason why rear wheel lifts and bunny hops weren't going as planned for me. Can't wait to try this tomorrow! Awesome video! Keep up the good work!

Great video Remy! As a bikepark coach myself I learnt a lot to apply to my own riding, which I can pass on. Thank you.

thanks for the tips Remy simple yet very effective. 'STAND TALLER' hits me hard af! haha..Great difference when riding the trails. Less fatigue, more views, and great way for weight distribution. :P

This is a great video. I enjoy having the more "average" rider in these videos as it becomes more relatable since there's no way I will ever ride like or as fast as you do. The cornering tips are useful and what I am trying to improve most.

Simply brilliant tutorial Remi! Especially the standing up equation, always thought keeping low was the way to ride efficiently. Please Remi more of this👌👍

I think the best tip was one that wasn’t talked about much. Which was being in the mindset of critiquing yourself so you can learn from your mistakes. Also, sessioning is more helpful for learning because you can break down what you need to do into small increments. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge Rémy!

Hi Remy, Can you do a video on cornering? I think that would help a lot of us out! Love the videos!

Another fantastic vid! You’d be a top-shelf coach - funny, expert advice, keen observations, simple talk. More of these vids would be awesome!

Rémy more of these please - I am sure I will watch this one hundreds of times. Thanks for the exceptional teaching.

"If you are in the ready position the entire time, that defeats the purpose of being ready"... this concept I found very contradictory but the more I think about the idea of standing tall, less fatigue, neutral position makes sense. I will try this next time I am out in the trails or the park. I should also look at purchasing a shock pump and experiment with pressure. I get the feeling mine is too low and bottoms out on hard compressions, I've seen it in videos, but I struggle knowing what to do.

Excellent video. Would love to see more coaching/tutorial vids like this, I really appreciate your detail oriented approach to riding.

Great video again! The Heals down is something I never think about. Must remember. Great tip!

Hey! I work with that guy! Awesome video- just checked out the first few minutes, but will watch the rest later. Breakdown of tips with examples are awesome. Good coaching.

Great video and really good to follow how you approached his riding and then gave your tipps on how to improve!

That was fantastic! I'm getting ready for a mountain bike trip next week and now I have a bunch of notes on things to try. Thanks for the great video -- I'm hyped to go ride!

Tons of great tips. Learned a lot about how position relates to control. Can't wait to try this stuff. Please do more of these.

This was super helpful! More of this please. I knew to put the outside foot down on an unsupported corner for traction but didn't think about doing it on an off camber slab. Great tip! Also, from now on I will be thinking about standing taller on the bike. Thanks Rémy!

Nice! One of the best things about riding technique I saw period.

Please more videos like this, very good teaching skills, keep it up!

Wow Rémi vraiment bien. Super d'avoir des conseils, parfois des choses que je ne savais pas ou des choses de bases que j'avais oubliées. J'ai déjà hâte aux autres vidéos dans le même genre 😉

This Chanel is amazing. Thanks for your effort Rèmy.

This is a brilliant video Remy. Thank you for all the practical tips. I felt the best tip for me was the understanding that lowering my heels actually enables me to be more spread when there is a steep decent and allows me to have a higher position while staying low.

Excellent Video! A year's worth of coaching in 1/2 hour. Stoke level is extremely high to get out an learn all these tips, Remy and Jacques.

You as a personal bike teacher... Awesome. Keep going! Your videos are great.

Such a sweet spot of instruction for intermediate riders. So helpful.

Waw, thanks for this video. I learned so much just watching!

Wow. Ive been riding for 15 years and that first lesson blew my mind. Ive never thaught of it that way. Now i'll be making sure to stand tall on the bike. Thanks Remy

I'm not even 10 minutes in and Remy just solved my bad stance/squat habit. This is probably why I feel like I'm going over the bars. Remy!!!! Edit: Just watched the whole thing. Man Remy as long as I've been riding I never worked on my outside leg down ( like skiing) to corner. Makes complete sense now. Remy!!!

The first one i realy had to take notes on!! Thanks for this video. Ill definitely improve on my riding with this kind of tips!

Today I've put in practice the stand up position and Remy... what a difference it makes! It's crazy! I've felt more confident and it was more easy to control the bike. There is a section that I did today and normally I've to put a lot of effort to make a good time and with the stand up tip I didn't put much effort and I have beet my PR. Thanks for the tips Rémy 🙏

Thanks Remy, great video. The standing higher tip is definitely something I plan to try.

A+ instructor, well below average student but likely an awesome neighbour that Jacky boy is. Well done fellas!

So much value in this video Remy!! Please do more content like this of helping people out on single black trails, us normal humans have heaps to learn off you when the trail difficulty and challenges is something we can relate to. I'm definitely guilty of riding permanently in a defensive attack position. Since watching this I've been conscious to allow myself to stand up taller and relax a bit more for most of the trail, it's made a big positive difference to how my ride feels. Also realised I've been weighing the wrong side when riding off camber, which explains a lot haha. It felt natural to want to keep weight on the higher side, but logically can see why the opposite is what prevents the bike sliding out from under you. Would also love to hear your thoughts on learning to trust your bike - you're probably one of only a few who truly push their bikes to their limits, but for most of us our bikes are far more capable than we are. Since watching your videos, I've been learning to trust my bike a lot more with things like grip (including becoming ok with some natural sliding) and its ability to roll over the rough stuff. Have found it's a huge piece of mindset when starting to progress your riding as a relative newbie to the sport and stepping up to tackling black features. Thanks again, loving your videos!

I am still riding a full rigid bike from 1990 (GT Karakoram K2). For the most part I can keep up to my friends where we ride, biggest thing I have learned most of the time is body positioning is so key when riding. I love all your videos Rémy, very exciting stuff, can almost feel like I am riding those trails as well. Cheers

Super helpful video. Your explanations about why to stand tall were insightful.

Excellent video! Fantastic set of tips that are so applicable to so many of us as we strive to ride fast and smooth. Best tip for me...foot position when cornering. Tough at first but with practice becomes intuitive and makes a massive difference. I agree that Jack should try going chainless...having ridden with him lots suggest for the uphills :).

Cette vidéo est vraiment top! Ça m a permis de m améliorer sur mon pilotage ! Merci Rémi

Thank you for all those little important tips. Appreciated

Some really helpful tips in this one … will try it out on the next ride.

I'm at Snowshoe right now and this was just what I needed, Great riding tips!

Really great stuff! Things I will remember from this lesson are standing tall (rather than always in crouch) to have better ability to make corrections and less fatigue, trying to pick line with fewer compressions is faster, I know to break before turns,,, but breaking early before attacking a feature and then releasing the break before the feature thus allowing the shock to return to full extension so the shock can handle the feature not limited by a partially pre-compressed shock was super helpful! Great info as always! I am trying to find those TIME Speciale pedals!

the nr1 thing i took from this video: Remy is a short man

Love these educational videos. Only thing you could play around with is possible slow motion or annotate the path to take with digital lines in the editing or both!

Yes! Ride as if you don't have a chain. When there's a compression or a string of roots or rocks the best way to carry the speed is to lighten your weight on the entire bike. I actually learned to focus more on flow because I lost a chain at the beginning of a 5-mile downhill trail.

This is great, Rémy. Thank you very much
