THE DIRT: Skill Tip #1

Get the basics dialed

As a developing rider, get your basics dialed. If you can get these three basics to feel like second nature, you will develop your riding prowess quickly.

  • Feel solid with maintaining your Neutral Position - placing equal weight over both the front and rear wheels, over all sorts of varying terrain, starting slowly and building up.

  • Practice keeping your index finger on your brake lever at all times - you never know when you need your brakes.

  • Look ahead to where you want to go.
