STEEPER TRAILS

-

Has anyone told you just to keep your weight back on steep trails? This advice is a thing of the past and results in your bike pulling you down the trail with no control or flow. Just like in rolling drops we want to use our arms and legs as more suspension. Staying close to our bike keeps our body weight centred and allows us to open up that range of movement we are looking for. Our bikes then have room to move underneath us and even the steep sections of trail have that flow-controlled feeling. Don’t go back, get low.
