April worked so hard on this one! It was so cool to see her determination and it made me really proud of her. It was really fun trying to break it down for you guys, Let us know if you have any questions or comments below! :)
The preload in body rotation is also used in skateboarding. This looks harder because of the fork preload needed as well. April is hardcore ,you are a great team.
Great teaching video, broke it down nicely. I've always wanted to learn this trick, will be really useful on downhill switchbacks. I always have put to much emphasis on the front brake (just like with stoppies). Got those after watching that video. Am confident I'll have more success now, just takes knowledge and practice. You've provided the knowledge. Thanks. And April - way to get after it girl!👊
Intelligently Stoopid if you want to spin the other way Kyle suggests switching foot stance. I tried to spin the other way without switching stance and it was way harder!
I actually loved that you went ahead and posted this even without April getting the full skill. It was encouraging to see how many tries it can take to make good progress. It motivates me to want to go out and keep sessioning things that I think I just haven't given enough attempts to master. I hope you film April doing a part 2 so we can cheer with her when she gets the handlebars turned all the way and gets that 180. :)
Wrigley is spot on. For these skills that don’t come naturally it’s important to see that it takes alot of practice. I’d venture to guess that most bikers are average riders at best (not taking away from April’s level) like guys like me. While only a select few who become pros like Kyle may have grasped these types of moves quicker.
Well said Wigley. April is a real trooper working new riding skills in front of the camera. Applied some of your lessons on today's ride. Carving turns with body position, jumping / hitting bumps with preload to prevent nose diving on short kickers. Keep up the good work!
April was sooooooooo determined to conquer this new skill. I think this deserves a follow-up video after she gets more practice. Love hearing Kyle's descriptions of things to do and April's input on the things that are helping her progress. Always interesting! And this is coming from a 72 year old hack that went from on-road to off-road racing back in the early eighties; but, still having nowhere near the skills that April has learned and displayed over the past few months. But, I never had a mentor like Kyle. Keep it up you two!
Thanks Bill! It helps a ton having Kyle coach me through everything. I don’t like giving up, so hopefully we can post a video of me getting it one day!
I'm jealous. April manages to somehow stay graceful even when she's crashing. And... I had it wrong all these years! I always initiated with the brake and didn't push with my hind leg. No wonder I never got past 90 deg.
I first rode a mtn bike in 1985 and have had plenty of hospital visits which help me to understand my skills are not [yet] developed to the required level. Sometimes fitness can fill in the gaps but now I have the time to work along with you to increase my skill level. Please keep making your videos. Kyle, your patience and skill breakdown is helping ALL of us. April, you are the voice of all of us. Say what's on your mind (we are all thinking it anyways...). Many of us are putting away our road bikes for the year in favour of mtn and fatbikes so we have a real current need of your help. Teach on! We will watch, practice, & learn (& avoid hospital visits). Tomorrow, I try the endo turn! [...well, in a grassy field first, any more hospital visits and I'll be issued a frequent flyer card].
I never even thought about pushing the bike with my back foot, I always thought it was just momentum from the initial swing/pop. Thanks for illustrating it for us April! 👍🏻
I heard April say feeling defeated. I hope you realize at the start of the video you said your goal was 90, and you way exceeded that. So feel hyped! Good job. There's always more for next time.
All of these videos are great stuff and very welcome. Watching someone struggle to learn a skill helps us who also have to struggle. Thankyou for your wonderful analysis of each skill. You are a great teacher.
April's progress is so inspiring! I love watching her challenge herself and grow and succeed! I'd love to know how she's doing now with her endo turns, almost a year later. I also had to smile when Kyle said "it makes me feel sad inside" at the end. I also feel sad inside when I see my husband crash :)
I wish I could give you an update, but I haven't put in another day of endo turns. I have been focusing mainly on wheelies and am more determined with that.
One of my favourite things about these tutorials is the real emotion that you don’t edit out, you can see and hear the mental battle April goes through, we see far to many video “tutorials” that are all finished product. Thank you April for your persistence and Kyle for being patient. You guys are helping me progress 🫡
It's never about perfection. It's ALL about progression! April met her goal which made this a perfect video. And it's finally come to light why your tutorials are so effectual - you reveal errors that can be learned from... can hardly say that for other how-to MtB videos. Thank you for another grand delivery!
I've always wanted to do this trick. Alot of good info in the vid, can't wait to try it again. It all makes sense the way you demonstrated it. Great job guys.
@@frankruff4445 Hey Frank. Great comment! Kyle and April may not see it though since it's embedded in my message so you might want to repost in the main comment thread. Happy trails!
Why weren't you guys ( and UA-cam) around 40 years ago. I'm 60 now and I just cannot learn these tricks anymore although I do try, April's determination is contagious. Fantastic video as always,
I found this channel through the @b1ker podcast recently. I watched this video this morning and was able to digest this information and make this happen in my front yard. I don’t have it dialed by any means, but the fact that I was able put these pieces together in just a few tries tells me I’m on the right track. Thanks!
Ha excellent vid thanks.April has done very well thanks in no small part to having a good coach. The vid highlights perfectly that I was doing everything wrong. I brake before unweighting, try to turn after braking etc. I now get the concept perfectly, kinda like the handbrake turns you do in a car (without the lifting in the air) where you YANK the steering wheel and then pull up the handbrake. Now to go out and physically try the correct technique. I note that April seems to be trying to "counter steer" instinctively right after she initiates the turn and the wheel lift, and I believe that may be the cause of the struggle to get past 90 degrees.
These are the best MTBing instructional videos I've found, Kyle explains things so thoroughly. The derailleur maintenance video is spot on. April is a doll (with nerves of steel) they're MTBing's version of chip and Joanna Gaines. Keep it up, give us more!
Congrats on another great how-to video Kyle & April. I learned a lot from you guys. Love the way you breakdown each skill and inform us of the common mistakes others do. Looking forward to more videos from you guys.
I like the way you broke it down. If it was easy everyone would be doing it, these skills are what separate riders from great riders. April you have so much patience and can see your determination. Makes us want to get out on our bikes and practice till we get it right. Thanks
Another great video guys. Its nice to see somebody learn these things from scratch. Aprils sitting on the floor look of 'I've had enough now', is one we've all suffered. My remedy is usually beer + icecream.
One really good tip, is to focus on your front wheel a bit more. Think that you are pivoting and balancing on the front wheel; see Kyle's chest at 7:43 vs your chest, April, at 6:35. That will get you doing endo turns in a day! Great vid you guys!
Affirm saying "I didn't really accomplish it" is heart breaking! ESPECIALLY because she did accomplish her goal - 90 degrees! And that left arm - the thing happening is a survival reaction. She's unconsciously locking her left arm and turning the wheel back into the safe direction. (which I learned in this video, and have not practiced myself yet!) That unconscious reaction will always get us! Lol You guys rock! Thanks April for trying so hard! Inspirational!
Thank you for the kind comment! It is hard to go against your subconscious to want to keep you going your original direction. Maybe I will get it with more practice 😊
@@AprilRideMTB You were getting it! you guys rock! ENJOY your videos! Would love to chat with you guys about overcoming the subconscious and flow as well! (not flow trails, flow states and how they help with training and performance)
another video that was put together very well. I love the side by side comparisons of right and wrong. I've been wanting to learn these for the longest.... thanks again to the both of you for making me a better rider.
I did that for the first time a week ago following a really smooth rider, kind of an accident, we hopped the front wheel over a small log and needed to turn, he did it perfect and the little bump from the log and seeing him do it gave me just enough lift and confidence to make it as well. I was stoked, lol, can't wait for it to stop raining and try again!
Great job April! I don't think I could manage if someone was filming me practicing, even less so if I knew it was going out on youtube... So, mad props to April for having the courage to be a newb on camera!
Ive not been on a bike in 20 years and just getting back into riding. a 29er is a big change for me, these videos are really helping me feel a bit more comfortable on a big bike. Thank you - nothing wrong with building on solid basics ( these big bikes handle soo much differently than i remember my old 26 incher )
Loved your Determination April, I feel that your drive to succeed has possibly been the most important part of this video. That is the one skill that many Beginners look for in these coaching videos and seldom see. You guys rock!
Excellent coaching, Kyle! I like how you notice & tell specific points where April could do differently and how you ask her to reflect what helped her most make progress. Also I find it useful how you break these tricks in to parts, in more detailed way than most UA-cam how to videos. I believe this video helps me with my endo turn. April’s positive attitude, commitment and desire to learn is very inspiring! Keep these videos coming!
April is such a good sport. Learning new tricks is hard but she really stuck with it despite a couple tumbles. She's going to be a better rider than me in no time and I've been riding 20 years!
Definitely seeing all the falling was great. Once you can fall off with no fear there is nothing you can't learn. Transfers across many sports. Your body learns a lot from an easy fall.
Another fun / extremely informative video. The number of tips showed I had no idea how to don one. As previously mentioned it was good that you posted even though April didn’t quite achieve what she wanted at this stage. Brilliant and thanks again.
Thank you again for another great video! Really felt for April on this one, 'beginning to feel defeated...' & as you know, often after one attempt which goes well, the next one, instead of being the same or better, is back to square one! Analogous to life I guess. It's comforting to know, even trick cyclists do endless failures before the 'take' which makes it look effortless (e.g. Danny MacAskill sliding his bike on a tree trunk, was 200+). It nearly brought a tear to my I at the end when you said, '... makes me feel sad inside..' Love you guys!
Yeah its hard having those "breakthroughs" and then back to square 1. April did an awesome job that day, we will for sure do a follow up when she gets them dialed!
You're very cool guys :-) I've been on my bike for many years but always lacked the proper tecnique for the eno turns and the bunny-hops. Since the snow has finally melted away here I startet today with my first "training session" based on your videos. I got still a long way to go but I already see some (still minor) improvements. Thanks a lot for all your cool and easy to understand videos. Just amazing!! Greetings from Switzerland :-)
Well done April! It's easy to knock this but these types of turn require absolute control over the bike. and are more difficult than many other skills where there is just a single movement to focus on. Practice is the order of the day, and don't give up - your were really good, and great fun to watch - you made me smile! Kyle, you make these movement look so easy and natural, but breaking down the movement and the slo-mo's are priceless. It showed me what I was doing wrong....! Another great video,
Thanks for the hint with the push-leg to the back thing. Something I will definitely consider when I try to learn this skill in spring. Nice Vid, helped me a lot to understand how it works. Greets from Germany.
I recently did a session learning to wheelie, it's actually really helpful just sessioning skills on your bike. Tomorrow is learning to endo 180, cheers for the tips in your video 👍
It seams Endo is a little difficult move but for sure very satisfying and useful once is mastered. Aprile shouldn't feel bad about it because it was great effort and progress! I am sure that many of us will not even come close to 135. So just keep on rocking A.!
@@AprilRideMTB awesome! I look forward to it! Have been catching up all your videos and I have learned so much! Hoping to get my wheelies and manuals dialed in with those tips
You guys are great. It's fun just watching you work together. And you're giving me confidence I can do it too. BTW, it's very helpful hearing you say you practiced for a couple hours. So I won't give up after 15 minutes...
Thanks Ron! All of our videos have more tries than we show and not everyone picks things up in the same amount of time. I am still trying to get those dang wheelies! -April
Another good one! Thanks April for your hard work. I'm adding this one to the list. I'm still working on the stoppie. Hey maybe you guys can do a rundown on your bikes and how you set them up? Thanks for all the help guys!
I watched this video last night. Then I took these newfound skills to the park today and gave it a try. The best I got was about 90°, but it was fun! I'll keep at it! Thanks for these videos!
Kyle and April, you haven’t posted many videos of late. It’s hard to know what kyle is going through physically and emotionally with his illness, and April is no doubt going through tough stuff too. But I want to encourage you kyle to teach even if you up for riding much. Your style of teaching is so easy to follow and encouraging. Find a way to keep doing it kyle become your audience is still out there.
Hi guys. Thank you a lot ! As specialty to you April. You are really hard worker and what you do is absolutely appreciated! Your skills are far higher than mine and I wish some day to get same level. And what you do encourages me to move on and train. Kyle ,same big thanks to you! You are ideal teacher!
The whole "getting your rear end light before grabbing a bunch of brake" is such a great tip, well done guys.
Thanks Doug! Glad it was helpful!!
Same for me! Thanks
@@aeros_yt I couldn't understand can you rewrite in simple words?
Please!
@@akshit9774 Turn handlebars first, then front brake second. NOT front brake first.

i really like how you show the "number of attempts" on these videos; it really helps put things in perspective
Yeah, it is usually a long day of trying to learn skills like this with as much progress as possible (in one day) and usually a day of recovery after!

It nearly brought a tear to my I at the end when you said, '... makes me feel sad inside..'
Love you guys!
Yeah its hard having those "breakthroughs" and then back to square 1. April did an awesome job that day, we will for sure do a follow up when she gets them dialed!
your channel is great dude! Always positive in many ways! Thanks!
I appreciate that!
You're very cool guys :-) I've been on my bike for many years but always lacked the proper tecnique for the eno turns and the bunny-hops. Since the snow has finally melted away here I startet today with my first "training session" based on your videos. I got still a long way to go but I already see some (still minor) improvements. Thanks a lot for all your cool and easy to understand videos. Just amazing!! Greetings from Switzerland :-)
That's awesome, glad you are doing some training sessions 😊
Really great video with many tips! I'm having trouble with endos as well, looking forward to applying some of these techniques. Thanks!
Hopefully it helps you!
Just learned to do this a few weeks ago, awesome to see how you do it so I can make changes to improve, thanks!
Sweet! Yeah let us know what you think!!
Well done April! It's easy to knock this but these types of turn require absolute control over the bike. and are more difficult than many other skills where there is just a single movement to focus on. Practice is the order of the day, and don't give up - your were really good, and great fun to watch - you made me smile! Kyle, you make these movement look so easy and natural, but breaking down the movement and the slo-mo's are priceless. It showed me what I was doing wrong....! Another great video,
Thank you for the kind comments to both of us Bob!
Thanks Kyle.
You and April gave me inspiration in practice.
That's so great to hear! 😊
I was totally doing the first mistake 🤦 Thank you so much for demonstrating it so well ❤️
Happy to help!
Thanks for the hint with the push-leg to the back thing. Something I will definitely consider when I try to learn this skill in spring. Nice Vid, helped me a lot to understand how it works. Greets from Germany.
Make sure you wear knee pads! My knee was pretty bruised from all of my attempts haha -April
I recently did a session learning to wheelie, it's actually really helpful just sessioning skills on your bike. Tomorrow is learning to endo 180, cheers for the tips in your video 👍
Good luck with the end 180! Wear knee pads for sure when you practice!!!
You two are so good! I can see an April Shred Spin off show in the future when the student becomes a master.
That would be super cool :)
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to learn, thanks for the tips!
Happy to help!
It seams Endo is a little difficult move but for sure very satisfying and useful once is mastered.
Aprile shouldn't feel bad about it because it was great effort and progress!
I am sure that many of us will not even come close to 135. So just keep on rocking A.!
I love these videos! Excellent instruction and enthusiasm!
Thank you so much Rick!
What a trooper!!! Hope I have as much patients when I start attempting this! Mind you I'm 65...so there's that!LOL
It was a hard one to learn! Wear lots of padding. The inside of my knee had a big bruise from so many tries and pushing it against the bike to turn.
@@AprilRideMTB Good advise!! Keep inspiring us April!
Please do a video on how to ride up and down stairs! Your how-tos are the best they really come in from a beginner friendly perspective!
Thank you! We will add it to the list 😊
@@AprilRideMTB awesome! I look forward to it! Have been catching up all your videos and I have learned so much! Hoping to get my wheelies and manuals dialed in with those tips
You guys are great. It's fun just watching you work together. And you're giving me confidence I can do it too. BTW, it's very helpful hearing you say you practiced for a couple hours. So I won't give up after 15 minutes...
Thanks Ron! All of our videos have more tries than we show and not everyone picks things up in the same amount of time. I am still trying to get those dang wheelies! -April
Another good one! Thanks April for your hard work. I'm adding this one to the list. I'm still working on the stoppie. Hey maybe you guys can do a rundown on your bikes and how you set them up? Thanks for all the help guys!
Great idea!!! Ill put it on the list :)
Great video, as usual. Can't wait to try this.
April was awesome!
Have fun Peter!!
Kyle & April - Ride MTB Hmmm, I'm not getting very far with this, today. I may need to watch a couple dozen more times...
Oh my guys here.O watched the stoppies and endos like 10 times
This is an amazing tutorial, I've been practicing for months and never thought to carve into it. thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I watched this video last night. Then I took these newfound skills to the park today and gave it a try. The best I got was about 90°, but it was fun! I'll keep at it! Thanks for these videos!
That's still a good accomplishment in one day!
Kyle and April, you haven’t posted many videos of late. It’s hard to know what kyle is going through physically and emotionally with his illness, and April is no doubt going through tough stuff too. But I want to encourage you kyle to teach even if you up for riding much. Your style of teaching is so easy to follow and encouraging. Find a way to keep doing it kyle become your audience is still out there.
Sending lots of Love from India ❤️ You guys look soo sweet together 🤗🌻
Thank you so much Chinmay!
Always nice to watch your videos, youre a got great skills when it comes to mtb pedagogic! Really!
Glad you think so Kenneth!
I’m so bad at these! Just what I needed
Hope it helps you out!! Let us know what you think!
Hi guys. Thank you a lot !
As specialty to you April. You are really hard worker and what you do is absolutely appreciated! Your skills are far higher than mine and I wish some day to get same level. And what you do encourages me to move on and train.
Kyle ,same big thanks to you! You are ideal teacher!
Thank you so much for the kind comments to us both!
Great job April! 0-135 degrees in one session is way better than I could have done I'm sure. Very inspirational :)
You go girl! April makes it so that I want to go practice! don't like cheesy comments but you guys are inspiring!
Thank you!
Found this video educational and fun. Thanks for the tips, time to get out and ride.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This series is really great
