Pressure Control is the essence of riding a mountain bike safely: In this video you will find the answers to these questions:
- How to find grip and maintain maximum traction on loose terrain?
- How to avoid going over the bars?
- Why you do not want to feel heavy in your hands!
- Why heavy feet light hands is so essential
- How to get traction while riding steep and loose mountain bike trails?
- What is pressure control?
- How to achieve balance, stability and control on your mtb?
To grip or to slip is “just” a matter of maintaining a balanced stance and pressure control! And in this video I show and explain the HOW TO of these rather abstract-sounding concepts.
I delved into the physics of traction a few years ago. Don’t worry, I will not bore you with the detailed physics of riding and the physics of grip… Instead, I hope to convey the essence of balanced riding in easy-to-grasp and easy-to-apply concepts – because BALANCE is what you need to maintain grip.
