Ride Over It! An Unexpected Way To Learn This MTB Skill
Спорт
Riding up ledges and obstacles can be a daunting skill to learn, but we've figured out a way to practice WITHOUT any obstacles. You can pick up the entire technique on flat ground, build your confidence and control, and then apply it to an obstacle or ledge when you are ready.
In this video we'll break down the pedal up (or "punch" technique as it is sometimes called) into two main parts: standing wheelie and pedal scoop. We'll practice both skills individually, and then put them together in a rocking motion on flat ground. That same rocking motion applies perfectly when you're ready to ride up a ledge, you'll be surprised how easily this skill transfers.
Remember to always start your pedal ups with your opposite foot forward, that way your strong (forward) foot comes around at the perfect time.

Thanks! Means a lot coming from you! 🙌
I'm progressing with this skill. I'm ok doing it on smaller obstacles now and currently training my mind not to grab on the brakes for bigger ones 😅 I'm never going to be as good as the guys i see on the net but I'm better than the rider i was yesterday. Thanks for the lesson, man. #PracticeMakesProgress

You are SUCH a freaking good coach, Aaron 🌠 I love listening to the intelligent and comprehensible way that you always explain the "what" & the "why" & the "how" of all the skills and techniques you teach. Great demos, too! (I was blessed to spend several seasons as a professional ski instructor in the winter and a kids' MTB coach in the summer - I am so appreciative of anyone with a passion like yours to SHARE the sport you love and excel at) And you're always ENCOURAGING, the way a truly good mentor should be!! Aloha & mahalo!🍍🚲🤍🌴✨

Nice Vid. Could you make a detailled video about manual side to side balance. Cause im really struggling to keep the balance. I can pull into the manual but dont stay in it cause of side to side balance. Thanks❤

Yeah! As soon as the weather clears up around here, I need a bit more space to do proper manuals, they're tough to teach in the warehouse. Just got snow in Portland this morning!
With the pallet on marge that is 30" so just over wheel height on a 29" nicely done! No hop required!

I stacked another pallet on top of that one, just to see...might be pushing it a little bit! Just shy of the next box height.
Keep it going Aaron nearly 100k 🦾🦾

one thing I don't know if you mentioned is that you are doing a punch, ie pushing the handlebars forward to get the back wheel up. That's probably more important than scooping the rear

Awesome video ! I was wondering, when do you use this pedal up technique vs lifting front wheel without pedalling ?
@SuperRiderTV
5 ай бұрын
Thanks! Great question - it usually depends on speed. When I'm moving slower and/or want to have a little more control, I pedal. If I'm rolling pretty quick, I just lift the front wheel. I definitely lean more toward the pedaling version though, I feel like I get more control with the pedals engaged like this.
I too struggle with side to side balance in a manual. I can comfortably track stand for more than a minute even in a switch foot stance. But struggle feeling even pressure in my feet for manuals

Looks like we definitely need to put something together on this topic, I'll start working on it. Thanks so much for the input!
another great video ..., thanks ☺️ is there any disadvantage using the manual method?
@SuperRiderTV

Thanks! As for the manual method, I find that I have slightly less control (especially if I'm on bumpy terrain that can catch the back wheel). Ultimately it's great to have command of both skills, but I usually rely on the pedaling version most of the time.

@@SuperRiderTV thank you ☺️ then I guess I'll have to get used to wheelie with the opposite foot 🙈 With the manual method I found it extremely challenging to get frome the back seat to front seat & to make a high pedal scoop.. I just found out others teaching the punch instead of the manual method, what do you think of this ?
@SuperRiderTV

@@krankesEtwas This is basically the same as the punch method, as far as I know? Hopefully a good supplement to what you're already practicing.
I would be interested in hearing what you think about riding up stairs.😁

Great video, but you guys always show this going onto a flat platform or rock. How would you use this on a large log, where there is no flat section to shift your body. I can easily do this on flat curbs, but a 2’-3’ diameter log stops me cold every time. I’d love to see a video on large logs.

I have a dirt jumper with 26" wheels. Should i use it instead of the big travel 29er trail and enduro bikes?
@SuperRiderTV

Totally your choice, either bike will have advantages, although I might suggest learning it on the enduro bike since you’ll likely apply this technique to that bike the most?
Hi Aaron, I've always used a 1/4 pedal stroke with strong foot forward to do this rather than 3/4 pedal, what's the advantage of the 3/4 option? With the 1/4 I am coming in strong foot forward with even pedals and then do a slight backpedal to get in position for the 1/4 and still have strong foot forward.
@SuperRiderTV
5 ай бұрын
I find the 3/4 pedal to work best on higher obstacles, plus I’m able to get a create more momentum with it. 1/4 pedal works great in certain applications as well - I use them both, depending on the scenario.
I I just love you...
How about getting over a small log while going up a relatively steep hill?
What grips are you using in this video?

Deity Supracush - I've got them on all my bikes, definitely my favorite grip.
What’s my strong foot? I’m usually left forward but my right may be stronger .
