- Now being stylish on the trail,
you use all the obstacles you can to be cool and be stylish,
now look at this, you've got one lump here
which can be a takeoff,
a second one down there could be a takeoff as well.
So now if you love jumping and you love manuals,
using these skills right here are gonna make you super
cool when someones following you,
and it's gonna be super stylish as well.
You could jump this as far as you can,
jump this to manual, roll it then into a manual,
or you could manual this and bonk that to jump that.
Options are endless, but it's not all about speed.
(upbeat music)
I'm gonna try jump from there,
there's a little landing here, its big,
I'm gonna have to go
I know I said speed's not all of it
but I'm gonna need speed to do this.
Lets try it. Nice.
(upbeat music)
Nice!
I made it!
Okay if big gaps are not your thing but you can jump,
little gaps are pretty fun.
I see a little landing there,
you can jump that, land on the side of the bank,
and get a little bit more style into your riding.
(upbeat music)
So I like jumping.
Nice!
That's what I like to do, I like to get in the air.
Now, look at these two trees, they're like goalposts,
or rugby posts,
I'm gonna score a try, I'm gonna score a goal.
I'm gonna use this bank right here in the trail,
it's not really a jump but I can look at it as a takeoff,
and I can see a landing far down by that stump down there,
through these trees.
Now if I can jump this,
add a little bit of style in the air,
man, and it looks easy,
and your mates are gonna be like wow!
If you're not one for manualling,
if you're not one for jumping,
and you're not really fast,
there's an easy way to make yourself look fast and stylish.
See that corner right behind me?
That corner right there, you can come into it,
and then power wheely out of it,
like lift the front wheel up
power and make it- it just makes you look fast.
And if you can't do it out of that corner right there,
this straight right here,
come into that corner, come out,
start pedalling down that straight
but start pedalling wheely out the straight.
That's gonna make you look fast and stylish as well.

Alright jibbing is probably a new thing to you,
and what I mean by jibbing
it means you're messing about on the trail,
you're using obstacles, you're going against the grain
on what a normal, natural trail riding would be.
Now, take a look at this lump right here,
you only just have to lift up your front wheel
and let your back wheel slide along that little bank,
drop your front wheel and carry on down the trail.
It just adds a little bit of style,
you don't even have to go fast to do it,
it's just getting it to slide,
getting all out of shape into this left hander.
(slow music)
Now this one is the nose bonk,
this is gonna add a lot of style to-
on the trail, especially if someone is following you,
because you can come into this, you bunny hop,
and you can just dip your front wheel,
dip it on there, and land and you head off down the trail.
Now for the skill you need to do this is,
you just need the bunny hop,
and you just gotta be confident with that bunny hop skill.
It's super easy and
it's stylish.
Alright, I reckon we can go up a notch,
let's try
that one,
let's try nose bonk that one.
Not that one, that one.
Ooooh!
I was stoked on that!
I nearly hit the cameraman Jack behind the lens.
Right, let's move on.
(upbeat music)
Alright if you put aside the jumping, the wheeling,
the manual, all of those things,
trying to find gaps, trying to go big in the air,
put them aside and just have flow.
That is the main thing,
that's what mountain biking is all about.
The flow with- on the trail is the most satisfying
thing in the whole world.
To me just having a nice flowy trail,
feeling the trail,
getting your speed, letting those corners work with you,
you work with those corners,
and all those undulations and rollers and everything,
you can have both wheels on the ground,
and you can be the stylish dude in the whole world.
You don't really need all that other stuff,
but if you combine everything together,
whoa! That is like-
like-
speechless.
(slow music)
Haha! (exhales loudly)
Style on the trail, I love it!
Flow is the best thing that you guys can do out there
to look stylish.
But I just can't help myself,
when I'm getting fast,
I'm always looking to see what I could jump,
what can I leap frog over some gap,
out of a turn, manuals, power wheely's,
everything just a little bit styley,
I love it.
