your channel is my personal all time favorite... at 47 I'm not shredding at all. You showed me just joy of bike! Unfortunately I'm a EU guy who can't afford to visit you, but its very good to have you on the planet ... cheers! (PS: @lee: I use your old book as leveller for my hometrainer ;)
@@hb7030 As a young man crashes were the currency of progression. Worked okay. But that mindset that changes probably when you have kids. And lots of people give up on progression. Progression without crashes is the ethos. Crashes are still a reality for me but I’m less tolerant and looking for new hacks to progression.
@@JoyOfBike Hey, I hardly crash and I progress in my 20s, so it's possible for young people too. I just don't like time off my bike and paying health insurance deductibles.
They should make your channel a mandatory subscribe for anybody getting a mountain bike for the first time. I'm 58 and as a kid lived on my 20" bmx. They were way different in the 70s. I stopped riding the road bike I got in my 20s about 30 years ago. This past year I started back and quickly found my first real hardtail mountain bike. Afraid of busting my butt, or breaking my hip, I'm not riding the bike the way it was intended. Your channel is a must for someone like me. Thanks
I spent most of this video laughing out loud. I think it was the repeating, red warning screen with the dude going OTB that did it. By the end, I could physically feel your joy and was basking in it myself. Good vibes and another great edit. Cheers guys.
Hey guys, GREAT VIDEO! I have one suggestion... in the trials world we always practiced the "half pedal" We would time everything so that a half pedal stroke would propel your bike a bike length... This is basically what you're doing but the timing would start a little further back and with your cranks in a 3 and 9 position but instead of rolling with your normal foot forward it's your opposite. I'd do the drop just like you're doing in ONE cog harder so that when your rear wheel is leaving the edge your cranks are ready for the drop in the 3 and 9 position you're used to. It looks like you're both pedaling in a tiny bit too low of a gear and when you leave the edge your cranks are clocked a little too low so you're not landing quite as smooth as you possibly can. Make sense? Love your vids!
I've been watching bike videos on UA-cam for over 2 years and you just now popped up in my list today. got my handsv full now trying to catch up. Great content.
Awesome channel guys. I'm 42 and just started MTB 2 weeks ago, I like when the "butterflies become a chip chunk cookie" or whatever that was :))))))))). Great videos!!!
When I started riding 20 years ago this was the only way I knew how to drop. I've just started learning the other styles of drops the past 2 years thx to UA-cam
Your videos are so nice. Use to run moto trials in club level 10+ years and moved on to MTB. I mean, totally different sport. Even the most simple things are difficult and so different from trials. Im 53 y and having the time of my life
i went over the handlebars on less than a two foot drop in 07 and i hurt so bad I didn't touch my MB for 13 years. thanks to ur channel i undersand what happened and I'm ready to start over with proper techniques.
Totally rad video. Frigging LOVE the STOP frames in the video. Great job taking safety first guys! Wheelie drops are so frigging much fun if only for the endorphin/adrenaline rush from the sheer terror of f-ing up. A million years ago when I was 30, my buddy and I spent hours/days/weeks practicing wheelie drops on the curb in front of my house (the neighbours were thinking “what’s wrong with these grown-a$$ men?”). We then found a12" or so rock drop on a trail to practise and then went straight to... wait for it.. picnic tables!!! OMG that was such a rush. At some point the drop height gets to a point that it’s no longer safe to flat drop and you have to learn to wheelie and then drive the rear wheel straight down so it lands first but that’s moving into trials territory and that so ain’t where I’m at! LOL
Thanks Michael. I'm with you. I'm not taking my drops any higher for a while. That middle one was 29 inches. An inch less than a picnic table and the other was 40 inches. I'll hold. : )
Man I love you guys and your authentic joy in teaching and advancing even each other in the process. You can't fake the "namistoke" LOL. I'm soon to be 61 and did my first LEGIT wheelie / manuals yesterday ONLY BECAUSE i watched YOUR VIDEO. Am I great at it? Not yet, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I'm gonna be "Grandpa Wheelie" in my neighborhood because of the joy it gives me to do them. Thanks my dudes!
Got my afternoon plan now! Head game is the hardest part for me - these little tidbits like “say rad things and you can’t think bad things …” - part of what I will be practicing. A new JoB post is like getting home from a ride and someone baked chocolate chip cookies. Keep it coming! And ya -wheelie drops matter in New England.
Still loving the videos Alex and Lee. The teaching is always first rate but what really makes this place unique is the discussions about the rider’s internal state, fear vs excitement, knowing when you’ve found your inner stoke and are ready to shout it to the world. This channel is about mountain biking but it’s also about your whole life. I’M ENOUGH!! 😁😎 Rock on you guys.
Guys your videos are just gold. Keep putting them out. What a great partnership and what a great delivery method for skills I've not yet learned in 20+ years of riding.
Hey guys, thank you, i always wanted to do the things you do, but i told myself "you are to old for this", NO, its just a number, now i bought MTB and i start slowly doing this crazy things. Thank you so much for motivation!
It is just a number. What is real is the fitness and skills and you can progress!! The funny thing is once you have a new skill you only celebrate for a day. Then onto the next one. Enjoy the journey!!!
You guys are hilarious! I love your channel. I’m 47, trying to keep up with my 13 yo through MTB races and stunts. You guys keep me in the mildly cool dad status. Thanks. Keep it up.
Last night I was looking for something in my closet, and my old copy of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills fell off a shelf...…..and there it was Lee McCormack's name on the cover. Guess I've been a fan for longer than I thought!
In neuro linguistic programming, empowering talk is the base for strengthen the mind and self confidence. Positive self talk is the foundation of success.
Not only that you guys are very informative, detailed and technically minded people. But the level of enthusiasm is so underated and so contagious that gives hope to everyone. This technique is a truly game changer. Thank You so much.
Ever since I've watched you guy's, i dont want or i don't trust any other tutorials videos. Me as a beginner I learned alot and take value of the basics and fundamentals on riding a bike👍👍👍 Its like Lee is the "Uncle Drew" of mountain biking😅 I just want to learn more The "Lee likes Bike" way🙌🙌
"Say rad things and you can’t think bad things" Love it!!! I get my kids to shout "I can do it" before they try something gnarly, and when I did once to psyche myself up it definitely worked. Another great video fellas, well done on your successful progression.
How do you guys not have every mtb wannabe subscribed ! This is THE most superb advice and 'training' on the entire internet. Can you do something on 'speed and control don't be afraid of velocity' thing? Like 'why speed is good and when to be fast?
The other mtb wannabe's simply haven't discovered the channel yet but they will certainly subscribe when they do. Yes agree with above and also the same on loose gravel surfaces which to be honest freak me out .
Thanks. I have never thought about speed as a thing to teach. I've noticed very different comfort levels but I haven't stopped to think about how to create more comfort for people. Would be fun to show a section of trail and hit it at varied speeds. I like it!!! Thanks!
I just started riding mountain bikes 6 weeks ago at 44 and this channel set me up for success! THE HINGE was a game changer!! I've progressed so much in such a short time! super thankful for my yoga practice too which made the hinge natural and comfortable for me. hello from Bend Oregon!
After watching a bunch of Joy of Bikes with Lee as the guest - you can see that you guys bring the best out of each other and it's contagious. Love it.
I also love how you guys are open and honest about the fear factor, even with your own high skill levels. Being honest about that sort of stuff really helps us, rather than having some tool telling you to "just send it!" for things you are not equipped to ride safely
Great video! On my go-to trail there's an old flat shed roof that's about 10ft x 10ft. It's not level, and the lowest point is 1ft off the ground, so I have to get up that step and a split second later power wheelie off the other side at about 2ft high. It's not the highest, but there's a lot going on in a very short amount of time. Definitely gets the adrenaline pumping. I loved watching the progression you guys had through this video!
I flicked the switch recently and it really does work. This video will finally allow me to conquer a flat drop that I ride around on my daily ride (once I am 100% ready of course). Fantastic instruction once again.
You guys are awesome 👌 great stuff I'm 55 years old just got my first mountain bike haven't rode a bike in years I means years lol , but I'm really loving it and learning new things from you guys .
Thank you for sharing. I always like your mechanical explanations and I feel much more calculated and confident in action. Just send it how-to videos do not hack it for me. Just tried it out on some slow techy sections on the trails today and it has became a very useful skill.
definitely my favourite channel such enthusiasm is awesome and funny to boot.Ive watched this video 4 times now and am sure I could do this on my Ebike. Im learning how to wheelie and getting reasonable wheelies now so Im gonna try this with a couple of planks in the back yard. Keep it up guys thanks very much. 60 this year (geez that sounds very old) who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks, I don't have that old age switch in my head haha
Just turned 40 this year and this is the UA-cam channel I was always wanting, after a few weeks following all content is rad. You guys always get my stoked level right up there. Awesome breakdown on how to do all kinds of things. Thanks Alex and Lee I really appreciate it. :-)
I'm 46 and getting back into MTB'ing after 20 years off and you guys are hands down the best teachers and encouragers out there! I don't think anyone could watch you guys and not feel the stoke! Thanks guys!
Thanks for this. I had a pretty significant crash last year trying to showboat and wheeleeing off a 1ft wood feature/drop. Timed it wrong and speared myself in the chest with the handlebars. Obviously, I stopped doing it. Now I know how to work my way back. 🤙
@@JoyOfBike It was slow speed and not too high, so I was only sore for a few weeks. I ended up with a sweet ODI logo stamp on my chest for the summer though. 😅
Every time I watch your videos I get more and more excited about developing my skills as a mountain biker. I love the pacing and approach in your teaching methods. Easy to grasp and pragmatic.
Hey, love the channel. I am 48 and learning how to MTB. I have just started getting comfortable with riding down stairs. Can the wheelie drop work on stairs as well
Nice vid, Alex & Lee. I gave this a try off of a curb tonight. Felt good. But I’m definitely more comfortable just popping into a trials back tire hop and hopping down a drop. 😉
Continuing to crush the vids! Love your heart and skill for trenching. I’m not ready to tackle this one yet but fun to see where I can take it. Still trying to hop!
You guys are becoming my favorite MTB channel... my age and relatable
Heck yeah!
DITTO!
Agreed, this channel provides actually usefull information.
SAME!!!
Well crap looks like I'll be there sooner than I'd like.
Say rad things and you can’t think bad things. That is some deep stuff right there 😎
Yep I'm gonna try this too hahaha this is logic!
Essentially the second lesson in this video, so good.
So perfect 👌
That's a JOB T-Shirt back print Right there !
Ya! There’s only room in your head for one voice at a time 😋

This has to happen.

This is still one of my favorite bike videos. All the best to Alex and Lee.
I'm glad you dropped the "mountain biking over 40" stuff. These are just solid quality instructional videos. Honestly, probably the best on UA-cam.
We will still be doing over 40 stuff but if your young feel free to tune in. : )
@@JoyOfBike Lol, maybe smart given how much mountain bikes are now days. Average age of mountain biking has to be late 30s, early 40s.

True story
loving your videos guys
Damn I wish I was you guys. I wanna hug you both. Especially at the end when you both conquered the big drop together. Stoked
After extensive research I have found that this channel is awesome. 🤓
