BODY POSITION

The steeper the chute, the more you’ll need to move your weight back, but be careful not to overdo it. Make sure your arms are still flexed at the elbow so that there’s some weight on the front wheel. That way, you’ll retain control over the steering and maintain grip. Once you’re in, ride committed. Look ahead to the exit of the steep section and be ready to let the brakes off once you’re comfortable to do so. Roll out and continue down the trail.
