Skill Tip: Get The Basics Dialed
From the West Coast Style archive. Original wording; historical offers and contacts may no longer apply. Ordering is unavailable.
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.
