Aftet I'm able to wheelie for a couple of meters, my biggest struggle is to keep side balance. My steering bar tends to go left or right and it is almost impossible to get out from this state. BTW: any recommendations about saddle height? With standard height it seems easier to init and maintain the balance, but it is more scary than attempts with lowered saddle.
@ColtonCloinger16 күн бұрын
I recommend for you to have your seat up so you can reach that balance point easier and I’ve had trouble with Turing the wheel I fixed it by when I pull up keep my arms straights.

With your tire pressure adjustment you end up with the same pressure front and rear?
@Ridebox_MTBАй бұрын
Assuming its the same tire - yes. Different tires ( casing, volume) will react a bit differently. As the video title says, this is an easy method to get a good baseline, not the end of the line on fine tuning you bike :) From there you can play with it, a lot of riders have slightly lower pressure in the front tire, I personally ride with both tires quite similar... anyway its a good way to get an initial feel.

Great and gets to the point. I've got the stomp and front wheel lift down after a lot of practice. But the part I struggle with most is the hips to bar. Just feels so awkward and hard to execute smoothly so I end up cutting practice short and doing the bunny "flop" as its often referred to. Need to take a step back and just focus on bringing the hips to bars without lifting the rear wheel like you showed. It's tough slowing down the movement and being patient with the forward explosion of the hips!

what's the best way to do drops? I'm confused. some say low. some front wheel lift. some hop. some manual. is it different for different drops or can you use one all the time.
@Ridebox_MTB2 ай бұрын
The goal of us as riders while riding a drop is to exit the drop balanced and land balanced. You want to keep the front wheel light for the length of the bike... so it doesn't dive too soon. Keeping the front wheel light can be done by pumping the bike, manual, a combination of both. Lifting the front wheel is less recommended because that usually causes riders to pull the handlebar, which you don't really want to do. So between a short manual, pump or combining both, you should find the move that is most natural to you, as long as you understand the goal. We do recommend learning different moves as that will simply make you more versatile on the trail. We're covering a lot of that in details on the drops section on our website.

Hi! We believe this is one of the best progressions in mountain biking technology over the last 10-15 years :) The ability to have a wide range of motion at the flick of a finger is amazing, it helps both our performance and our safety as we ride. If you haven't tried it yet I strongly suggest experiencing it, you can always decide to go back to your old seat post You can also check out our online skills coaching program on www.ridebox.bike and learn more about the seat post and many other things to help you progress your skills and adjust your bike for riding as best as possible

I'm just getting into modulating - I'm on a kind of mixture of modulating and jabbing. I found that practicing on a slight downhill really forces the issue of having to feather the brake and it's slowly unfolding to me how the front wheel can still go a bit higher before I get near looping out. Also just learning to wheelie around bends, which is super-rewarding. Another thing I've noticed is that it's much easier to wheelie straight in a confined width space - such as a cycle lane with kerbs either side (such as they have them where I live) - somehow that gets me to go a lot straighter than an open space - I think it's to do with peripheral vision or something.

Nice - I ride a SE Bikes 29er but I love doing track stands at traffic lights. I read that it's good to look down and ahead a little but I generally look far into the distance so I can see the traffic light change. I love how when you get them down a bit more you can make the movements so minute.
