I live by these tips to this day!
Yes! I knew I'd point you in the right direction!! 😂
Finally ik what to do in my MTB
Live by these tips, die by these tips :)))
We know you can ride. One of my favorite people on UA-cam and highly underrated content creator!
bro i was the 1 thousandth like and it was so satisfying 😂❤
The key to being a good mountain biker is knowing how to use the front brake effectively, it can either crash you or save you depending on how you use it.
i dont have a rear brake on my hardtail so i’ve basically mastered front brakes
@@pandoraplayz6484 by choice or because you haven't gotten around to installing one?
@@maxatrillionfatstacks 100% it's the second option, i can't imagine why anyone would choose to only have a frontbrake
@@pandoraplayz6484same
I use front brakes only when the rear is losing traction is way easier to recover from a rear slide than a front slide
Most people actually think that if you use your front brakes you will go over the bars, most of your braking power comes from your front brakes if used correctly, you will most likely go over your bars going downhill if you use it, but as a cross racer it is actually better to use your front brakes as a main brake power, or assisted with your rear brakes
I think a lot of that fear comes from learning to bike as a kid. As a child you're much lighter so it's a lot riskier using the front break. We probably all have a memory of flying over the handle bars from panicking and grabbing a fistful of front break. As long as you don't make a sharp turn or lockup the wheel it works well now.
@@TheGenericAssasin For me it came from a story of my dad going downhill and flying over the front and him telling me to not use my front brake, I started using both when I locked up my rear wheel fully going downhill and almost slid out, now I have control over both at all times.
I honestly recommend it to everyone to try once to ride using only the front brake, it's very effective for learning how much you can use it without locking the wheel.
Which of the two brake rotors get hotter during a run?
The front brakes have the most ability to change the attitude and handling of the bike, hence why they are so important, but most of the energy is usually dissipated in the rear brake.
The braking power is simply a function of pad friction and rotor size, so assuming the same sized rotors and pads, their power capability will be the same.
@@genixia No you'll get more breaking power on your front break because of how your weight shifts as you are breaking. Initially when you start breaking it will be 50/50 front and rear because your weight is distributed evenly. As you decelerate your weight shifts forward onto the front wheel, and your breaking power shifts along with that weight shift. It's talked about a lot more with motorcycles but the physics is the same for both.
Well… The back tire spins toward the bike. So if you lean too far back, your beans will get sucked into the frame. 😂
Telling someone to not use the front brake is 100% sending them off trail at some point. “I’m allowed to brake. You just go ahead and mash that rear and slide off that ledge over there”
😂😂😂😂
Destiny Klein and the Calirado kid together . You guys killed it. I love the video.
Haha! I just noticed autocorrect called him "Destiny Klein." That's a pretty excellent typo. 😂
@@CaliradoKid actually, that’s his Friday night stage name!
More Please😂😅
OTB into a tractor once, broke my collar bone. Trip to hospital in a ambulance. Doctor thought I had torn my aorta open.
Oh no! That sounds terrifying!
mine was back when i was 8 and was going downhill in a big dirt parking lot, wanted to turn to avoid crashing into the barrier at the end but saw a car coming towards me from the side so i hit the brakes (or brake, i think i just hit the front one)
can't remember what happened but i woke up screaming on the ground, i had massive rash on my face, got a concussion and broke a front tooth (although the dentist at the clinic thought it simply got loose and got it back in, he pressed on it for two or three hours to get it to stay in place, and as a result i still have the tooth even though it's broken in the gum), and i think my helmet got split by the impact
i didn't go back to that spot for years lol, but kept biking and bought my first *real* mountain bike about a year and a half ago
Sounds like a lot of blood 😧
@@Ghostyfrost9688 there was 0 blood, I cycled full pelt into the side of the tractors bull bar which hit me square in the middle of the chest.
@@hollow34 I would think a torn aorta would involve a lot of blood. Doctor might be dumb
I always find it so strange when different countries have different brake orientations
Front on the right. They’ve got European braking
I does just put it as my brain say it have to go
@@Morhaw you mean like all motorbikes ever?
It's so you can effectively indicate turns with your hand closest to the center of the road, and stay on the rear brake with the other.
@@Morhawbut except for the British almost no one has the front brake on the right
a true roadie - super tucking at any opportunity
"the guy behind you is gonna figure out what you had for breakfast u know what I mean" 💀💀💀
The wheel rotates the other way though
The best way to become a good mountain biker is to master hopping over your bars when your front wheel locks up.
Even better, learn to slightly let off the front brakes when it starts locking in order to maintain traction and avoid a crash altogether.
I got lucky one time, no way i had mastered that, never even thought about it, I was on a mtb that was new to me, goin through a semi familiar local trail but hadnt visited there in a loong time, it was slipperier than before,(wet mud) i was too young to know about appropriate tire treads and pressures, going down hill and round a left bend, i understeered and saw a chance i might hit a tree, just avoided it or so i thought, my right pedal caught behind the tree stopping the bike in its tracks, somehow i managed to front flip OTB and land on my feet, before i knew what had happened, i turned round to see my bike "parked by the tree" and all i had sustained was a graze to my right arm from brushing past the tree😅
L'ho fatto una volta, e non so neppure io come: mi stavo ribaltando in avanti in un sentiero roccioso e allargando le gambe sono riuscito a cadere in piedi davanti alla mtb
Everytime I got my small little jump park and I see a road biker I tell them to hit the jumps and they always just laugh and continue on. Yesterday though I saw one turn the corner and go onto one of the trails😂 just hope he didn’t crash
Skinny guy looks like a Easter egg😅😂
One thing I learned from motorcycles that apply to DH riding is
That front brake can be your best friend when coupled with the rear
As long as you don’t panic squeeze
Instructions unclear, I went under the handle bars.
No pinions and no sheets? That bike ain’t going nowhere 😂
Can confirm. My forks were locked out. I did die.
Haha! Yes! And people think I make all this stuff up. 😂
@@CaliradoKid I had my front forks locked out and hit my handle bars going almost 30mph. Nice $2500 hospital trip later.
@@Kelocydewhat does forks locked out mean? Total noob here
@@Kelocyde in most other countries universal healthcare is free and a basic human right. so start mobelizing and orgenizing to fight for a systemic change
What’s a locked out fork?
I’m so glad you’re such a great instructor hope I meet you on the trail one day!! 👍😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll teach you how to grow an epic mustache! 😂
Bought my first mountain bike yesterday had no idea how good the brakes were pressed both the brakes as hard as I could went OTB and broke my shoulder
Wishing you a speedy recovery, and hope you enjoy riding in future if you stick with it 🍀
Bro, don’t use front brakes
I have a very strong front brakes even if you weight 70 kilograms while running at 20kph it could still throw you even with just slightly pressed
Oh no! Wish you a quick recovery
“He’s a natural” 😂
Ultimate collaboration ✊
Yes! Dustin's a Legend!
Bro why are brakes switched in different countries 😭 my American mate let me try his bike, and I absolutely wrenched the left brake, and I almost landed on my head 💀
cause brits gotta have to do everything differently
@@oliviersavard8676 because motorbikes have the front brake on the right even in America
@@oliviersavard8676 I mean I live in Australia, and we were colonised by them soooooooo
It’s due to the area and street laws regarding which side they drive on. In America, we drive on the right side of the street, and use our left hand to signal our turns. The idea is that the hand still in the bike would grab rear brake instead of front.
In countries where you drive on the left, you’d use your right hand to indicate a turn, and use your left hand for rear brake.
@@rokkazoen not here. You use left arm to indicate left, right arm to indicate right. Or if your 99% of riders neither and just Kamikaze.
Являюсь обладателем этого чуда и откатал на нем практически полный сезон. Вел за свои деньги действительно прекрасен, но с нюансами.
Во-первых, это не совсем гравийник. Если точнее, то триал-спорт при разработке этого велика взяли за основу шоссейную раму. В итоге мы получаем и шоссейную посадку злой креветки. Это не плохо, просто стоит учитывать.
Во-вторых, тормоза, всё-таки, хлам. Их откровенно не хватает, с учётом довольно немалой средней скорости передвижения на этом велосипеде. Я забирал вел из триала своим ходом и за 20 км умудрился конкретно перегреть роторы, поскольку приходилось довольно часто и резко оттормаживаться. Подумываю о как минимум 180 роторе на переднее колесо и других калиперах. А ещё эти тормоза скрипят как кости старой бабки😂 но зато не нужен звонок, чтобы пугать народ😂
Третье. Стоковое седло - ад и Израиль. Оно пережимает там, где ты даже подумать не можешь, что можно что-то передавить. Поменял на wtb rocket steel medium и забыл как страшный сон.
Четвертое. 42 колеса - это максимум для данной рамы. Конкретно по задним перьям. Также с такими покрышками невозможно установить никакие полноразмерные крылья, не разрезая заднее крыло. Плюнул, прицепил mini wings, толку от них немного, но хотя бы яркие и стильные😊
Также хочу отметить, что родные покрышки так себе подходят для быстрой езды по асфальту. С накатом у них все хорошо, но такой протектор не дает достаточного пятна контакта с асфальтом. В итоге вел начинает очень нервно реагировать на боковой ветер. Ну и на скорости за 70 появляется ощущение полета, или аквапланирования по сухому. Непередаваемо😅
А так, в целом, велосипедом более чем доволен и катаю с удовольствием.
Долгих и счастливых километров вам с этим аппаратом и ни гвоздя, ни жезла👍
That screaming 😂😂😂
Luv the vids! Keep up the good work
And Second!
How to become a serial killer in 60 seconds 😂😂
I thought this video was dumb until he mentioned the left and right brakes and I remembered that the orientation is not like on a motorcycle 😂😂
Depends on where you at, i think in the us most are like motorcycles while in europe its reversed
@@D3nn1s It could be. Reviews usually don't mention such trivial things. I really have to think about it on my new bike that I got yesterday because I didn't ride for years. I would switch them around but with hydraulic disc brakes it's not as easy like with cable brakes.
@@westsenkovec meh its not much harder either. Just loosen the fitting and swap the hoses around.
Thats actually what out motorcycle instructor recommended since i live in europe so theyre the same, but ive ridden a bicycle for so long that its easier for me to keep both as is. Personal preference i guess, there are several stories of people who ride more than they bike who grabbed a handful of "clutch" and flipped haha
You guys freaking crack me up!! I laugh all day! Aloha
🤣🤣 That “perfect with energy drink sip” 🤣
This is too real between two friends lol.
This was epic. Grammy award winning content It would be great to to see two longer format videos, one MTB and one gravel adventures. You are both amazing content creatures. Be proud of your talent. Keep it coming.
Attempting an endo for the first time with no concept of where to put weight made me realize if I’m not going downhill it doesn’t matter if I use the front brake
So relatable. I started mountain biking from road a year ago, now I walk up hills
lol so true
why did people build +20% fireroads?! WHY!??!
Slenderman has entered the chat
My favorite part was the end when he said perfect 🤣
Thanks! I had a bunch of lines I delivered but when I was editing that was honestly the best one hands down.
He's a natural
The brake thingy is pretty one of the first things I taught my friend about when she just started to learn how to ride a bike. Although I had to correct her on when to use the front brake later on.😆
two of the best bike related UA-cams in one Video!
He has his breaks the wrong way round
I don’t understand why people have the front brakes on the left they should swap it over like a motorbike
Sounds like the military training you to work on anything
Dude behind it isn't going to find out what you had for breakfast you're going to transition real quick!
I have a 25+ year old Giant yukon with cantilever brakes i bought from the side of the road for $80, I've been fine lol love this bike it's a tank
I was roadie and started working at a bike shop full of mtb guys. I got a trade bike for $50 took it to the most gnar mtb trails around. Nobody believed that anyone could take a stiff bike off road. There was a time before suspension
My inner coach is crying
Hahaha! What do you mean? I'm basically a licensed professional. 😂
Now, EVERYTHING’S been done!
Noob has cleats lol 😂
That green Willier is drool-worthy !
Went OTB once as a kid just a couple years after getting a bike, learned my lesson nice and early
Yeesh that’s weird imo. Front brakes HAVE to be on the right and rears on the left. I’m used to riding motorcycles tho so I like front on the right lol
Dropper post is a life saver. here in Oklahoma I can still ride my cross bike on the trails since they are less techy
Agreed! The dropper post has to be one of the best additions you can make to your bike.
Love that bros bike has as much ink as he does 😂👍
Using both brakes slows you down faster and reduces wear on just one break, but I also learned the hard way that you need your front brake when going downhill since all of your weight is forward. I went a little fast down that hill when I was just using the rear brake 😂
Looks like perhaps this was filmed at Sandy Ridge just outside of Portland near Mount Hood. Dang... I would have been star struck if I had come across these two on the trail... Excellent vid! Always enjoy videos from both of you.
Ole son needs to eat Goin to brake a bone out there 😂
Love the "Maxxis" flash right from the start. Lolol. 😂 Got to make sure others see that yellow!
That Gravelbike is actually sick😮
Fuck yeahhh!!! You two together!!!
Front brake for speed control and rear for speed maintenance
Love me some DK, awesome collab.
He's the BEST!
The fact is that the guy who is telling all these has a yeti bicycle and the guy who listens it has a wilier bike lol😂😂
Make sure your fork is not locked out or you're probably going to die, he's on a solid fork 😂😂😂
Oh man give that green man some power cookies, he looks to shredded🥴
The important thing is to look pro all geared up
I mountain bike without any of this bs. 😂😂😂 It’s the same as normal bike riding.
Don't listen to them, gravel bikes are awesome as long as you don't try to ride the DH trails using them
He didn't say that it's bad
The curly bars LOL
Curly bars guy has sick style! I have very similar tats! But XC on trails! 🤙🏻
"Wait die!??" 😂
"Perfect" 😂
That Wilier is a gravelbike guys. Not quite the same as an MTB and also not the same as a CX-bike. It's complicated 😂
Why are his front brakes on the left??!!😂😂😂
Better to lean the guy behind you for breakfast than to not lean enough and crashing
drop bars are actually great on trails if youre good with having less leverage over the bars, I dont need leverage its not very hard to control
“Ready for dark fest”
Bro i caught hepatitis from watching the cracked out roadie
banned aero on a trail 😂 perfect indeed 👌👌
He's ready for black diamond
I’m gonna go AOTK 💀
Wait what! The USA have right hand rear braking ??
This is still one of my all-time favorites 😂
YOU'RE one of my all time favorites! 😍
@@CaliradoKid making me blush
As a left handed person I don’t use my back breaks because I default squeeze my left hand when stopping. I’ve never flown off my bars
Step 1: make sure you have a mountain bike
I did a mountain bike trail on my gravel bike recently and while I got through, I really don't need to repeat that experience. Well, maybe. Someday. With wheels significantly wider than 35 mm.
That Yeti SB5.5 is sick!
She still runs great!
No one noticed he got his brakes wrong way round?
My buddy had a marin 4 corners with 4 panniers, probably pushing 70 extra lbs... and he ripped up Sorrento Valley/Penosquitos. Nothing crazy but you can get in some technical stuff. The guy was a stud but you've gotta give it to drop bar riders on trails.
You are perfect coach 👌
I didn't know Stephen Merchant had taken up mtb, ace
it's usually better to use the front as the main brakes and the rear brakes to assist. It gives you higher breaking power and will save your ass so many times though if it's used correctly but it's easy to learn and isn't dangerous
Bro pulled up to a mountain ride with a gravel bike
Majestic creature😂❤
Well, that’s not a mountain bike. That’s a road bike.
Locked out fork = probably gonna die.
LOL back in the day (1990s) I rode a fully rigid bike. You won’t die, you’ll get shaken to the point of near death, but you won’t die.
That bike is a gravel bike 😂
Dustin Klien. Everythings Been Done.
Its funny cuz when you go to a bike shop nowadays its mostly gravel bikes. Even road bikes are harder to find. No wonder the bike shop got him on a gravel bike 😂
front break is more important than back brake. also, you want to be entered downhill not back
Dude should start with a good meal.
Poor man got road bike instead of mountain bike
Que hermosa esa yeti😍😍
Curly bars on a mountain 😂 oh no lol.
