Front Foot/Back Foot
When freewheeling, we naturally fall into a dominant foot position, usually without thinking. This position plays a big role in your balance, control, and flow on the bike.

Balance
Maintaining balance on an MTB is key for control, confidence, and adapting to changing terrain. Being aware of body movement above the bike helps you stay centered, flow with the trail, and maintain traction on tricky sections.

Foot Work
Foot placement and movement play a huge role in control, balance, and power on the bike. Understanding how to apply pressure through the pedals individually greatly increases grip and control on all kinds of trails.

Bike/Body Seperation
Body-bike separation is the ability to move your body independently from your bike. For efficient & effective covering it’s essential to ‘lean’ the bike into the turn whilst the body stays stable above helping to maintain traction and balance.

Braking
As well as coming to a stop – efficient braking allows us to achieve control & flow on the trail. By learning to moderate the use between our front and rear brakes we gain better traction in a variety of trail conditions & create confidence in maintaining a good body position.
