    After many years of riding, I went back to these fundamental drills. I've been helping my wife get back to riding after having both her knees replaced. This video has proved to be perfect for us to practice together in a large open paved area. It is amazing how quickly Rita's confidence has returned just by repeating these drills a couple of times each week.

    Roxy speaking is more helpful to a new rider than watching most bikers actually corner. She really explains it like a teacher teaching a subject. So helpful...

    All this time i thought that if i go to the trails i would eventually learn cornering but you are 100% correct, being able to practice this on flat ground and gravel will build the muscle memory to apply this techniques on trails.
    Thank you!

      Thank you, J, for being open and such an inspiration for sharing this with all of us! If you’d like to follow my proven drills, you’ll find them on my coaching site - you can simply follow from home and they are built up way more methodically than I could ever on UA-cam 😊
      You will find them on Roxybike-coaching .com (I can’t link it directly, as yt has begun blocking direct links). Also, you’ll find a FREE Trackstand course there ❤

    thank you for the video! really important to practice the basics! I used to try fancy advanced things and not allow enough time for basic skills. A year ago i realised WHY i had some fears, uncertanty on many things ... because i did not practice the basic stuff enough, at safe speeds, safe place. I did over 10 years biketrials but when i started MTB trails i realised i did not have good practice at cornering because at bike trials i was not using cornering much. trials is mostly static :) i like your videos and how you explain!

    • @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire
      @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire  Рік тому

      So true. Unfortunately, many people believe that trials is “much more complex” than biking so that a good trials biker will be a good mtb coach. However, in my opinion they are different sports and although SOME things transfer, many things don’t. Just like you said, cornering is one of them.
      Have you already checked my coaching site? I believe you will profit a lot from my FUNdamentals course - or if you are German from my course “der Festiger”, where I work with you personally to turn all this theoretical knowledge into bodily abilities 🙏💪

    I agree when you say that you don't really learn on the trails--maybe learn the terrain. The skills that you learned on the flat ground successfully is applied on the trails. I discovered how deficient my skills are and my need to learn cornering skills every time I encounter tight switchbacks.

    I have watched a lot of great videos on cornering here on YT and I believe this is the few that take the time to explain the intricacies of cornering in this detail e.g. slow speed cornering requires a different approach versus high speed cornering. I guess it's not all about leaning the bike as far as you can go to corner :)

    @janheczko7405 2 роки тому

    Hi Roxy,
    thank you very much for the videos. That one on body position helped me remind myself of how I used to ride my bike some 20 year ago (and forgot since) and things start to make sense again. Also, trackstand is my friend. Nowadays, the time spent with my kids toddling on their bikes around the block is not a missed training session for me anymore.
    My cornering-related question is this one:
    Is there some preferred way to get around the need for the saddle to be low? E.g. in a XC or marathon race without a dropper post.
    I tried a few styles of wrapping myself around/over/through my skyscraper seatpost, but - obviously - they either limit my range of motion (thereby compromising continuity (of pedal/body/bike position) and confidence) or... well... limit my range of motion in some other way.
    I guess I just kinda answered myself, but perhaps there's still some trick or general piece of advice that I'm missing.

    • @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire
      @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire  2 роки тому

      Hi Jan, no, you've already answered the Q yourself, riding a high saddle always comes with a cost, which is why actually most pros have already upgraded to a dropper and the trend is clear...
      The skyscraper will limit your ROM and/or jeopardize the fundamentals of stability, no matter what... It's just anatomy + biomechanics... Sorry.
      If you'd like to work with me to find solutions with the least possible disadvantages, though, then you'll find my online course (structured drills) and coaching offers here: roxybike.podia.com/
      Enjoy practicing with your kids and thank you for the answer!

      Hi Michelle, you're welcome. No, not really, because to seperate the bike from the body, i.e. to be able to move around on the bike/allow the bike to move below you (which we need to stay balanced in the bike and corner), you need to stand up. Because if you're planted on the saddle, your possible range of motion on the bike is highly limited. That's why we want to stand up on our bike as much as possible. Do you already know these video of mine?

      To tell you the truth I’d recommend increasing the speed only gradually to avoid this to happen in the first place... Also, if you get low (bend arms) with a solid trail position, with your weight on your legs, it is easier to rescue such a slip. Because then you are able to “give” and then pull back the bike.

    Ist denn nicht auch der Untergrund entscheidend für die Geschwindigkeit und Neigung? (2:31) ich kann mir vorstellen auf losem schotter kann Geschwindigkeit und Neigung nicht so gross sein, sonst schmiert das vorderrad weg oder?

    • @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire
      @Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire  2 роки тому

      Generell ist die Traktion auf losem Untergrund geringer und daher wird saubere Technik wichtiger, aber wenn das Vorderrad wegrutscht, ist die Ursache meistens nicht die Geschwindigkeit und die Neigung (sonst könnten Profis nicht schnell Kurven fahren), sondern fehlende Bausteine in der Fahrtechnikpyramide die das Fundament für Kurven bauen (dazu habe ich auch ein Video).
      Generell gilt jedoch: es gibt für jede Geschwindigkeit eine optimale Neigung, um Traktion zu haben und den Radius der Kurve zu bewältigen, und je schneller man ist, umso mehr Neigung braucht man, um auch auf losem Untergrund noch Traktion zu haben.
      Da Kurven ein komplexes Thema sind und es daher entscheidend ist, ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, habe ich einen mehrmonatigen Kurs dafür auf www.Roxybike.online 😊
