THE FEELING

Using your own weight to generate traction and control is a feeling that will often happen to you on some features, but will be lacking on others. Berms are often a shape that you can trust. You’ll get that heavy drive all the way round and come shooting out the other side. Two corners later, however, that feeling has gone. You stall, have to pedal out the exit, and you have no idea why it felt good in one but not the other. In this article we’re going to look at why that happens and how you can give yourself that ability to exit corners and features with control, confidence, and momentum.

The Neutral Riding Position should be your default position and the starting point for all movement.
