Id say what he done was an option and not really essential or necessarily a faster way of doing the corner. its an extra variable you could do without especially on the rough unpredictable stuff
you guys obviously know shit all about bike technique. this is a common technique, and it is designed to be used in this situation.
essentially he is increasing the length of the corner, and therefore making it eaiser and faster to go round.
watch any pro dh’er, steve peat, cedric gracia, sam hill.
i can also understand why people would be against it, due to track erosion, but all tracks need care, and when done correctly can increase your speed enough to make it worthwhile.
watching all this guys vedio i think tht he is reli skill full!!!
well actually its not that weird
but looks a bit improperly when u see it the first time, youre right
weird, bike with disc brakes but no suspension
I try not to have an impact on the trails – that being said this video and all his videos are very informative and I for one appreciate them.
not to mention it can ruin your tires and brakes.
this is horse shit…
Most people cant understand that this is a video on how to sliding and not how to ride fast that corner. Good information maybe wrong location.
you do but dont do it that him
wtf you had no need to do that!?!?!? you utter prik dont tell people to ruin trails like that remove this pile of shit! that was a piss easey corner to make! utter wanker!!!
Are you kidding me? As a trailbuilder and MTB Advocate for trails on the west coast this is a slap to our faces. You should be ashamed, worst advice I’ve ever heard on YT. Your reasoning for making the turn is just absurd. Lower the seat and you can turn your bike easier…..simple as that. Hope you remove your stuttering advice………its terrible.
video picture fuckin sucks balls
This is Rediculusly Balls.
this is rubbish shocking
do u use your back brake at all during skidding ?
Want everyone 2 know U don’t have a clue? Just follow these tips!
1. Ride without a helmet.
2. Use freedom as an excuse to damage thousands of hours of other peoples trail work. (dood, I wanna shit on your pillow, we should all just do what we want)
3. Skid your bike on a natural surface trail.

Be hones?t

Then copy and paste this on 10 vids withi?n? 5 minut?es,?
And whoev?er you are missi?ng,?
Will surpr?ise you tomor?ow
Sliding’s a perfectly valid technique, it all depends on the trail surface you’re riding on. Round here the ground’s very sandy/gravelly, build up any kind of speed and you start getting sideways.
Yes it does erode trails very quickly but building tracks here in the first place is a none starter because the ground’s so soft, so it’s either ride what’s there (and slide around and erode it away until you find rocks or roots) or not ride at all.
So thats how you get around . ic thx
This guy is an idiot, he must be the reason that we have to do so much work on our trails, stop skidding and ruining the trails!!
skidding will not benifit the rider at all. If you want to use this method then flick the bars into the turn thus pointing the frame in a direction that will offer a bigger apex. skiding-no need.
wtf. last thing we need is a bunch of rear brake rodneys out there destroying good trail. stop the madness, listen to Vibrato444
