Fresh out of a week of blind racing w ridetransierranorte

When you’re blind racing, you need to make split second decisions on unfamiliar terrain.

Would this feature have safer/better/faster to “drop” rather than roll?

Possibly 🤔

In this situation i was able to peak over the edge and see I could push my bike down the trail. You can see my rear wheel come up 😱😱😱

What prevents me from going OTB?

3 main actions:

1) big bend in the elbows, knees and hips as I approach the feature

2) I brace my core which keeps my weight centered over the bb. You can see my hips never shoot forwards over the bottom bracket and my chin never extends past the bars.

3) I press my heels down to drive the rear of the bike down towards the ground.

Did I shift my weight too far back? Maybe a bit. We’re all a work in progress 😃 In this situation, I felt safe. What do you think? Safe or sketchy?

It’s almost Halloween, so let’s get into costume and ride bikes!!

Climbing is an often under appreciated skill. Many riders think it has more to do w strength and fitness, but the truth is you can have all the strength and fitness in the world, but if your body is out of balance, your won’t be able to muscle your way to the top.

How do you find the correct body position?

We always start w traction. You need to do something with your body suck that you can maintain as much traction as possible through BOTH tires.

Three tips:

1) scoot the boot! This means move your butt forwards towards (or sometimes onto) the nose 👃 of your saddle.

2) EAT THE COOKIE! 🍪 this means imagine there is the most delicious cookie attached to your stem, and you want to take a big ol bite out of it. This will bring your chest forwards and down, allowing increased traction on the front tire.

3) Light n Tight. This means brace your core (tight) but be light with your hands.
