    Hey Remy! Love your videos, can you make a video on how to transfer weight on the bike, corners, jumps, whips, stoppies, manuals, and overall bike control like being light on your feet so you can move the bike around? If so, I'd love to see it! Keep up the great work bro, you're inspiring many people!

    • @remymetaillerraw
      @remymetaillerraw Рік тому +17

      When I say making yourself light, I mean unloading your weight of the bike (almost slowly jumping but while keeping the bike on the ground). And when I say making yourself heavy I mean compressing the suspensions and applying all your weight on the bike on a centered manner.

    • @ZhengZL69
      @ZhengZL69 Рік тому +4

      Hey, this might seem obvious but I think these weight transfers are better learned with practice. It's almost like cornering, watching 50 videos isn't gonna get you far, but trying to corner changing your technique each time will eventually get you going fast out of a corner.
      It's the kind of thing you gotta go by feel imo.

    • @nprakas1
      @nprakas1 Рік тому

      @@ZhengZL69 Exactly. I watched so many videos, it didn't do anything for me until I had a full season of riding hard trails, riding them repeatedly and compressing harder or unweighting more. It's safe when done incrementally, just push yourself barely past your comfort zone every time you ride

    I love watching your analysis of features. I like to be similar (much smaller features mind you!) so it really reassures me that the pro's go though the same process. I find it hard when you're with others to do that process as I feel like I'm holding my friends back whilst they wait which is why I do much alone - much to your point in between 2 baguettes!

Such an epic epic bike; not only does it handle bigger stuff (my standards not yours 🤣) but it’s also incredibly agile and playful whilst doing it, to an extent I didn’t think was possible for a longer travel bike. Who knew?!? 😁

    • @remymetailler

      Good question. With the enduro bikes being that good now, DH bike is only necessary for me when riding a tone of laps in Bike Park where I need more reliability and something more stable. Adding travel comes handy when it's really rough and fast too. And of course for racing a proper DH track.

I’m very new to MTB and last season was my first season (but I’ve been watching you and many other riders for a couple of years) and I’ve been lucky to find a great bike, it’s a 2021 stump jumper trail bike with 140mm of travel. I come from a skateboarding background and have ridden a BMX bike before so I feel really comfortable on the MTB and I use my bike at my local bike parks, I’ve tuned it for my weight and riding style but I wonder if I could benefit with a longer travel more stout bike.

    could tell me the brand or even the model of you saddle?
