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.

    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!🍍🚲🤍🌴✨

    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

    @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.

    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.

I just found out others teaching the punch instead of the manual method, what do you think of this ?

    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.

    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

    @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.
