A simple but detailed explanation of how to achieve the correct body position when cornering in flat turns and more. In my opinion, this is one of the most important techniques to learn when riding a mountain bike and should be learned before pretty much any other technique or skill. Hope it helps!—Aaron Gwin
This is the only video I've seen that shows how one should rotate your front foot 90deg forwards/down instead of 270 backwards/down (essentially switching your stance). It's great to drop your rear foot in turns, to load up on corners, but to do it quickly you can really only do it while turning one direction, dictated by your stance... Anyway, fun to have more things to try!
But he also taught a different technique to Ben!
One as won loads of WC's, the other coached heaps.
The pros can never decide drop outside foot or feet flat.
I bet Gee teaches totally different as he rides elbows back a lot!!!!
I believe there's no single way to corner well. There's surely some things you have to look for when cornering, like weighting the front wheel, and lean the bike, but I guess everyone have to find the cues that work for himself to achieve what you need to do.
You dont need to corner on an e-bike, you just corner slow with crap technique and turn up the pedal assist setting to keep the same overall track time. Duh.
So you stopped counting just before several original articles?!
Of the 30 articles I can see on the homepage right now, 10 are original PB content. You can't just pick and choose data to fit a point you want to make.
Also, the links to YouTube content are for videos that are arguably of interest to us and worth sharing, would you rather PB just don't share those things? I definitely would not prefer that.
What exactly are you hoping to achieve here? If you love original content so much go make some instead of dragging the world down. Ergh.
Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm sick of this post-truth BS where idiots get to say whatever nonsense opinions they want and completely misuse data to validate it. The scientific method works for a reason, you can't just say what you want and assume you're right.
Maybe I'm thee a*shole here, I need my morning coffee.
It's also an extremely quiet part of the year MTB news wise.
If pb had a rule of x amount of original articles a day their quality of article would plummet and they'd become MTB BuzzFeed, and then the commenters would whinge about pointless articles... To the pb team: I'm sure you've heard this but I'll just repeat it, keep it up you're doing great, cant wait to see the articles you guys put out when you get some proper material to work with!
@everythingscomingupmilhouse: Think you are missing that morning drug fix, just because it is considered legal, does not make it any more addictive? Cant wait for 2 wheel drift corner technique, as is way more interesting, in that has way more consequences if you get it wrong?
if you go back to let's say 2014, which is the year I randomly checked, you'll se that this time of the year there were product launches and brand videos too, but also rider interviews and stories (cool ones, like on being a dirtbag, trip to nepal, etc) an editorial by Cuningham, damn, even some fun shit fron Waki. It wasn't overnight since Outside took over like some people point out here, but the truth is that quality of content has drooped A LOT in the past few years. The quality content that used to be found here, is the one that is now payable on Beta.
And is not like the #1 global mtb website can not sustain that any longer. Is about making more money. And that's all right, PB is not a charity after all, just don't insist on paint it different.
