Thanks a lot :-) Nose Pivot Turns, however, are not fundamental at all. They are one of the most advanced moves on a bike. But yes - I will name the fundamentals you need in the video, too. Thank you for commenting and being here! P.S. 58 is a great age to take your skills to the next level, you still have MANY riding years to come!
I been mtb:ing for 1.5 years. I watched a lot videos even read books. But you are great at explaining things. I can do some "advvanced" things, just easy but many basic skills are hard for me. I spend a lot time on parking lots and also do skill training while commuting. Just saying you just unlocked like 2-3 skills. I feel you just shared it in way I could understand. I did foot wedge last 2 months because it just came naturally, I even tried to trained it away as thought it was bad habit. Even your videos about scooping your feet, I kinda always saw myself as more pivots and leverages. So I had weird time learning. Thanks for sharing so much knowledge for free. I am poor and I am grateful for the knowledge. I like that show and tell in diffrent way. I think you are right there is very skillful people outthere but they are not really sure how they got there. Now this winter I really want to learn nose pivots. I think it is scary, which is weird becase jump doesnt scare me. My only big crashes had been slow OTB turns with inslines. So thanks, I hope I become comfortable with balancing with the front =)
That was a really good video Roxy. I was inspired to learn endo turns after having walked most of the right hand turns on a trail called Zetas de Aixortá, near Guadalest in Spain, and then I saw you riding that exact trail in this video! 🤣. Keep up the good work!
Haha yes - it’s a fun trail and without nose pivots, really unrideable. Just published a top to bottom video about it for my patrons and judging by the comments, they really liked it 🙏 it’s an amazing trail!
Love it. Thank you for saying that there is a bad side ... It's normal. I was practicing this and I found that it's more easy for me to turn to the left than to the right. 🤗
I found a great time to practice this skill is while waiting for friends before the ride. I throw my backpack on the ground and do rounds mainly by flipping the back of the bike (plus short movements forward). There's always the one guy who's constantly late, so why not make that time useful.
Great job, Roxy! Thanks so much for posting this, and especially for mentioning the prerequisite skills up front and detailing the dismount. I haven't seen another video that covers these as part of the stoppie.
Antonio piñeiro thank you Antonio. Step by step you’ll get there :-) Frustration a great lesson for life. Maybe try to: Set your goals smaller and enjoy the journey 💚

Dag, I did it for a short session, and two days later I had muscle aches all down in my shoulder blades from muscles that were not in shape for that trick. Lol. And I call myself in pretty good shape. :-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Absolutely :-). Last weekend did a road that is just all uphill till it runs out into a state HWY. It tore me up only the 5th ride since the pandemic ended. Well, today I went after it again. I was hoping for a 1/2 hour decrease in my time. Well surprised when I looked at the electronics when I got back home. I cut over an hour off last weekend's time. Guess where I am going again for the third attempt next weekend. Yep goal now is to make it up without stopping and taking breaks. I am thinking maybe two more tries before I am up for the task. The purpose is to get back in shape before I head back out into California trails. Pushing is not my favorite thing to do. But there are places I carry the bike up because I do not have the skills or the strength to pedal up. By the way Santa Barbara CA 93110 is my riding area. We have some great trails here.

Good videos. When you mentioned that you have a good side/bad side it made me reflect on leading foot. I was just out practising my track stand after watching a couple of your videos on that (although I already have a pretty good track stand, I wanted to analyze what I did compared to what you were showing). While practising the track stand I decided to try more with my non-normal leading foot to see how well I could do it that way (as well as changing up which way I turn my wheel). Seeing this video now made me wonder if you changed your leading foot depending on the direction you turn. From what I can tell, you don't. This surprises me a bit because on a tight turn I always put my outside foot down, regardless of the fact I usually ride right foot forward. Have you tried changing your leading foot depending on which way you pivot turn? Would that help? I'm going to try to learn this pivot turn, but I need to work on my brake modulation a bit more if I want to get it as dialed as you do yours.
Hi Fill, neuroscience shows that it is NOT helpful to change the leading foot (or leading hand or any leading body part in any sport) as it’s like forcing a left handed kid to write with the right hand. We will never be 100% equal on both sides, however, we can train to be almost as good with our same lead foot forward at skills going both sides. The disadvantages of swapping feet outweigh the advantages. The loss in stability in the move and stance are so big, that it would not help to switch feet. Even the pros I train do not switch feet. Unless they were forced to do so very early and then they all say they still favor one side over the other. Of course you CAN practice with the other foot sometimes, but in a demanding skill it will take you SO much extra time to excel with both feet forward, that it’s more efficient to just spend the time practicing with your lead foot. It’ll take you further up the skills algorithm in less time. (I have a video about the skills algorithm).
Hi there, oh I feel ya, for me at 5,1 every bike is huge 😅 Here’s a step by step tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/dI7Fq89qdWc/v-deo.html I am sure you can get there with practice!! If it’s not working with this tutorial, then check out my riding position breakdown video and my braking tutorial. These are the prerequisites for dismounting safely :-) Have fun an it’s really important to get this skill dialled, trust me! 😍 And I know you can!
Hi there! Have you seen my newest tutorial on how to dismount? I really hope it helps! On Point Episode #3: Downhill dismount ua-cam.com/video/dI7Fq89qdWc/v-deo.html
Nice video! how cnsistent do the trackstand need to be before nose pivot turns are a feasible challenge your opinion? Will 9 out of 10 attempts do? Thanks Roxy. 🙂
hey how are you love the way you explain, i have been glued to your channel for the last three days. and you have videos and also love the "video short" . OK... On the normal and advanced pivot turn, before you set up in the way you want to turn you do an opposite (counter steer) before you trun where you want to go then feather or stop front brakes completely. You video cuts out that counter steer. can you explain why the counter steer? I see it also happens every time anyone turns a bicycle. It's subtle and i think its a natural thing and at the same time so important to turning/corning. Do i make sense?
Hi Sydney, yes, it’s an indispensable part of steering and cornering, as it causes the bike to lean/tilt into the side you want to ride to. If you countersteer to the right, the bike will tilt to the left. If you then increase this lean or do a stoppie turn, then the bike will ride to the left more naturally and you’ll have more traction. It’s a deep topic that I can not go into in too much detail here to avoid misunderstandings, but I’d encourage you to try it and see what happens 😊 Thank you for commenting and watching!
Great instruction... I have been practicing these over the past few days.... sometimes I have good success, but I haven't become consistent at all. I have been thinking about the lean a lot and just how much is the right amount? Thanks for the tips and inspiration!
Scott Rulander hi Scott. Thank you. Happy to hear you’ve been having success! Are you consistent with the prerequisites I am talking about in the video? Trackstand, riding figure 8, braking etc? (Have some in my channel, too) Because what I see very often is that riders progress to this (very advanced) skill too early. And if you’re missing parts in your skill ladder, it’ll always going to be a wobbly ladder = inconsistent. As to your question with the lean: at slow speeds only little lean is necessary. And in order to avoid the feeling of falling to the outside - something I haven’t mentioned in this video comes to play; the LINING up of the rear wheel. What I mean with this is: you turn your handlebars into the direction where you want to ride (let’s say left) and then perform the load, explode, brake and your hips will rotate to the right. But you want to rotate JUST as much, as to LINE UP with your front wheel. So the amount of STEERING determines the amount of swing of the rear. Does that make sense? Otherwise I’ll film a trouble shooter about this one day :-)
@@Roxybike_Ride.and.Inspire Thanks for the reply. I feel like I have the prerequisites. The steering and lean make sense... I will practice some more and if I still feel like I'm a bit stuck, I'll record a video to analyze.
The part of this technique I find mentally difficult is not so much the technique (which TBH I have still not got dialled) but I find that where switchbacks are used in southern Spanish mountains they are typically very loose, littered with baby head rocks, have a steep gradient and the consequences are unpleasant to contemplate. Very advanced, not there yet (me).
Yep, true. That’s why it’s SUPER important to build these skills gradually in a controlled environment to make them automatic - then the mental challenge will also go away, as your body can perform the moves „subconsciously“. I like to say: competence builds confidence 😊😊
That’s because 1. this is an older video 2. my channel is not monetized: I am not a UA-camr, I’m a professional coach who’s shares her knowledge for free - my channel is funded with donations (aka “buy me a coffee”) 3. I couldn’t afford a mic back then. Watch it on a smartphone and it’s definitely good enough to be heard :-) Plus: the newer videos are much better (thanks to donations and patrons!) 😍

Always very nices moments watching and learning in your videos.
I have time to....i had a road bike crash ! Hip broken! 👋👋
Oh no 😞 get well, soon ❤️🩹
This looks so cool 👍 got to practice this next time out . Thanks
