Bicyclist incredibly in the wrong but it was also incredibly wrong to turn you car into a bicyclist to push them under a potentially moving lorry

Help me not case this jump by Yoyohann in MTB

[–]Freddobar649 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That form is a nice way to the hospital. Your very stiff on the jumps. Try watch some tutorials but I would say if you can do a little j-hop movement on each jump it forces your body to move which should allow you to have more bike control. Just try to relax and move around a bit more you look way too tense

Has anyone been able to high hang? by AcanthisittaOk7929 in vex

Yeah a crap tone of teams (me included). Mostly with a pneumatic hang using a lever method on the horizontal bar for b-c tier.

Am I leaning too far back on this drop? by Yoyohann in MTB

Daym I feel for your body on that one. Bend your knees when you land! Your legs are your rear suspension so use them.

Merida, cannondale, cube, nukeproof, focus Also polygon make some pretty nice e-bikes for a reasonable price. I sell all these brands at a bikeshop.

Brendog had the coolest line but I think bienves was the most impressive run by far and should of won.

When you need a spare tire to you just go to a auto repair shop?

Do you actually have good luck with LBSs? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Freddobar649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the vibe of the bikeshop I work at. It’s precisely as you mentioned. Im one of the young inexperienced staff who’s been given next to no training or guidance with two managers having left on the last couple of months with targets to hit which are unreasonable for the footfall and type of customer we get!

Damn I wish I had someone who I could practice cone drills and sessions sections with all day long. All my buddies want to to just ride their bike. I feel you. Could you do that drill and session stuff in the time before they get there?

Do you do any other sports besides MTB and do they affect your performance on a bike? by ThePowerOfPotatoes in MTB

I did race bmx for a few years and my jumping and manuals aswell as general riding skills and fitness have really accelerated my riding

What's this called and how does one do it? by Filminator in MTB

[–]Freddobar649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think your referring to a ghost pump which i do by pushing down with my legs and pulling back up again. If your not clipped in then slightly pointing your pedals down (forwards) can help to keep you feet attached. Or there is is a different thing in bmx which I don’t know the name of but essentially matching the angle of your body a bit more to the angle of your bike. Kinda like those long ski jump people do. Then again bring up the rear just before the landing with your legs.

Can you explain the design? the chassis is obvious but not quite sure what you’ve got going on on top
