Really good video. The instructions were clear and understandable. Three easy to remember tips, an easily digestible amount. Good job, I will watch this again to drill it in.
The second tip made more sense this time. Slower to be faster is counterintuitive. The critical point is your comment on finishing braking before the apex. If you are going too fast for that, well, you probably won't make the corner, or you will still be braking when you should be maintaining speed for exit. It isn't entry speed, per se, that hurts your exit speed, but the secondary effects of it. So far entering high and looking farther ahead have helped. Dang it, I'm a skier, I should have known better. Good stuff. Butt to berm will take some work. Butt goes down and in on skis.
Hey! I have that badgal brooky decal on my bike too! It's so sick! I'm going to share this video with my wife and friends who I've just started on their MTB journey.
It’s all about leaning forward and putting weight onto the inside hand. It places weight over front wheels so you don’t under steer and supports your body. If you’re doing it right it’s a work out. Forget all that foot and bike-body separation crap
Thanks Edward! I agree with your counter steering technique! I've found different cues resonate differently with everyone so it's nice to have a variety. Thanks for sharing your tips:)
Great advice thanks. I do find (at this stage) that rotating my hips seems far more intuitive on flat corners? Does this mean that maybe I am probably going slower than necessary on berms and thus do not feel the need to "Butt to Berm"? Keep 'em coming thank you
Hey Mitch, that's great that hip rotation feels more intuitive to you on flat corners than berms! For many people, it's the opposite. Hard for me to comment on your speed without watching you, but typically the faster you start going the more the small movements makes a big difference!

Thank you :)
This is easily the best video I've found on this. Thanks! Needed some clarification after my lesson today.

Post Canyon is great.
What if you're too timid to even try to enter a berm? How would you start ?
That's a really good question! Start in a dirt pump track. The one at Family Man is perfect:)
