welcome back you beautiful people in
today's all about doing stunts on the
trail I'm all about getting huge air and
all doing stunts and stuff but I want to
bring it back a bit I'm gonna start off
with the basic tricks you can learn on
the trail they can help you have a
little bit more fun on the trail let's
get started well look how rough this bit
of section of trailers now this trick
which i think is a trick but is also
skilled to have and it's quite a hard
one to do
that's the manual the manual is
definitely going to help you through
this bit of trail just keeping that back
wheel on the floor then that front will
come up and just glide through this
route each section plus it's gonna add a
lot more style points to you whoever is
following he's gonna be like well did
you manual through those routes like a
champ so basically the manual starts
with you stood up on your bike above
your saddle what you want to do is lower
your body your hips down to your saddle
and then push your weight backwards over
the rear wheel you can feather that rear
brake to keep that front wheel back down
to and safer level all right
the tabletop super old-school trick but
one that is needs to be in your box of
tricks when you want to learn something
because it's super stylish this bit here
it's a little hip and it's the way I
like to table so if you want to learn
how to table finding a hip that you're
comfortable on so if you're doing the
table over your left shoulder you want
to find a hip that goes to the right
likewise if you want to do a table to
the right like this you want to find a
hip to the left
stiffen gonna help you out nail that
technique with a table top this bit yeah
it's quite fast through this section of
trail you got a drift step down drop
there then you got this step down hip
drop into a big jump over there so I
want to be a little bit sleazy honest
trick this thing so I'm gonna bust a
table top up on this thing hopefully
I'll get some style points
it's all about doing it straight off the
lip you don't want to get to your Pig
point in the air and then do the
tabletop because it's going to send you
off in a bit of a weird direction so
when you do is you're going to start
going up the lip think about doing the
tabletop and you want to twist your bars
but turn them basically like you're
doing a turn bar and pushing that top
arm through between your torso and your
other arm now what are you going to do
with your legs with the legs you want to
do is you want to bend them curl your
your feet on your pedals turn your hips
up into the tabletop let your saddle
drop between and let that knee come over
your top tube and then to finish off the
tabletop all you're going to do is bring
it all back into reverse and land with
two wheels on the floor get a tabletop
is one that you need to carry on
practicing practicing practicing because
it comes with time now whilst we still
on this jump the gyro tables supercool
and I love this trick kind of maybe a
little bit more than the tabletop
because a super cool is a lot more
steezy plus you can get your your foot
off and just drop that bike in super
cool let me explain what that gyro
tables all about so when you're coming
up to the lip you want to basically do a
slight curve to the opposite direction
you want to turn into that gyro just
think of air it is huge cooking pot you
scoop in one way and then you're
bringing it back the other so that's
what you want to do with the gyro you
want to go up turn away from the way you
want to turn and then quickly dip your
front wheel by turning the other way
bringing up the bike with your heels on
your pedals bringing your hips up
bringing yourself into that bike and
just getting all twisted and turned up
into your bike and then quickly turn
your bike into a stri angle and land
perfectly once you've perfected the gyro
table and the table top for extra sneezy
points just to remove that inside leg
and get a one foot table all the one
foot your own you'll find you will get
more clicked in those tricks this one's
super simple and it's the turn bar
literally when you're in the air just
turn your bus but there's a few tips
that you need to know when you want to
do the turn bar when it comes
the term bar there's a few things you
need to know about it is that you want
to keep your body weight quite central
to make the turn bar feel a little bit
more natural it's basically a
progressive thing you just move your
bars and then gradually get bigger and
bigger and bigger and then it's
basically if you can go all the way
around that's called the X up but that's
for another day
the term bar super easy one to do and
add a lot more style to your riding on
the trail out of all of these tricks the
suicide in our Honda is probably the
hardest one and the most advanced trick
in your book that you're going to learn
but it's super easy to do there's a few
tips that you need to know how to do it
so the most important thing with doing
the suicide is the contact point between
you and the bike itself and that point
is when you lock your knees on your
saddle okay getting used to doing this
pinching technique with the suicide you
can lean against the tree or go along
doing this and it's just to get into get
used to doing locking your legs your
knees into that saddle just like that
you'll feel it it'll slide and stop and
when you pinch the more you'll have grip
of that bike underneath you so keep
doing that get used to that technique
and we get into the jump you feel
yourself as soon as you slide and lock
you're gonna take your hands off at the
same time alright another pro tip when
doing the suicide you don't really want
to just go off like this and back behind
you what you want to do is go off at
nine o'clock three o'clock so you're
just going to let go and just glide your
hands all the way back and then come
back like this because if you just go
like this you have a tendency to kind of
push down on your bars and let your bike
drop away and that is just you're gonna
end on the floor and it's gonna be
really sore plus when you come back you
can't grab your handlebars because it's
like this whereas if you like that and
come back it's like a natural thing and
you can start off small you can
literally go to their back their back
back progressive the more you do it the
bigger you get I love doing this trick
on certain jumps in a super fun
hopefully that tip helped you out
I look at that war there whip wish I
could do whip like that on a bigger jump
maybe this is the whip it's everyone's
want to do thing when it comes to
mountain biking it's getting sideways on
a jump let me show you how to do that
the whip is all about the hips so you're
going to turn the opposite where you
want that real wind to go out so I'm
gonna whip to the left so I'm turning to
the left and the bikes gonna whip out to
the right and by doing so is what you
want to do is when you turn you're gonna
twist your hips to push out that back
hand out when you want to get that whip
back you want to turn those bars back
towards that landing and use those hips
to bring that bike round so there you go
a few simple tricks on the trail that
can help spice up your little local

gonna get just fill it with some tricks
