9 months ago i could ride any of these little drops!! so definitely getting better! check out the first time i tried these track (only second time on a trail!!) ua-cam.com/video/CYr1lc1Opwc/v-deo.html
When I’m struggling with jumps I film my approach to take off until back wheel has left the ramp you can then look back at your body position through the jump. Really Enjoying watching your progress 👍👍
Great to follow your progress. Looking forward to see you getting to an uplift place. A day at one will improve your riding beyond recognition and you'll have the best ever day on a bike.
oh yes we really want to do an uplift too. we are close to innerleithen but i think the DH track might be a bit out of my riding ability at the moment.
@@DownhillDesireMTB Pretty sure Make or Break at Innerleithen is all rollable. A day sessioning that would be a game changer confidence wise. There's Descend around your area as well. I''m well into my 50s, still trying to improve and going to the likes of Antur, Revs and Dyfi have developed my riding beyond anything hitting regular trails could. Looking forward to seeing your continued progress.
Cant wait to get back out once the haibeast is fixed, need to sort out this jumping malarkey il have you airborne next time were out, excellent work though bud and great vid...now lets see the stoppies🤣
Bit silly having a footpath crossing g through a bike trail. I remember when the trails were still in penshaw woods there were notices to walkers to warn they were approaching bike trails. Can clearly see your confidence has grown. Seem to remember you being g quite nervous on the lower part of that drop. Keep it up mate any bit time you sound on the bike is of benefit.
