Maybe dont' "just f&*#king send it"!

We’ve all been there are some point where we’ve asked ourselves “am I riding mountain bike drops wrong”? Maybe it’s a crash, pre-drop jitters, or even just a lack of confidence that caused us to self-reflect. All good – each and every one of us that ride drops now have either learned the hard way or gotten comfortable practicing the right techniques. The Drew Bros recently put together a great…

How to Ride Technical Climbs on your Mountain Bike | Trail Boss

Riding up ledges, rocky sections, and technical sections of the trail can be extremely challenging. In some cases, it takes the finesse of bike trials riding mixed with a mountain biking skillset. Trials on trails if you will. Jeff “Trail Boss” Lenosky and Lance Trappe are certainly no strangers to this with their storied-riding careers. Take a watch as the guys show you how to ride technical…

Are you someone that struggles with technical climbing? The Drew Brothers head to South Mountain and show us how its done! #mtb #southmountain #technicalclimbing

In this series of the Drew Brothers MTB Coaching, we look at how to climb technical trails on a mountain bike. You may be a mountain biker that loves climbing, and lives for the challenge to go up everything. Smashing uphills on Strava or eventually cleaning that rock ledge might be your thing.

The Manual can be one of the most useful skills to have. Yet it may be one of the hardest to learn. #mtb #manual #mtbcoaching #richdrew

Next up in our MTB Coaching series, Ride Series Mountain Bike Coach, and Racing professional Rich Drew shows us how to manual a mountain bike.

Especially when you are using natural terrain of the trail to pump through rollers,…

Technical lifts on the trail can be quite challenging. Even for an experienced rider it really takes a certain technique, and not just the brute force muscle up like it may appear. Rich Drew, of The Ride Series MTB Skills Clinics, takes us through the “lift and shift” technique. This skill is fantastic for getting up and over technical trail obstacles, and is something you can use every time you…

This time of year can mean wet, slippery, and snotty trail conditions! How do you keep the bike in control and not crash?

In this MTB Coaching feature we look at how to ride in wet conditions. After all, this time of year can mean wet, slippery, and snotty trail conditions which means the bike is going to handle in all sorts of ways you might not want it to. All of the sudden the rear end could slide out, or you can have a sudden dismount, which is definitely not good. Whistler locals Chris Kovarik and Rémy Métailler

Knowing how to nose wheelie turns on a mountain bike is a very useful skill for any mountain biker to have in their toolbelt.

Knowing how to nose wheelie turns can be useful in some situations where the turn is very sharp, or may have something technical in the trail you need to get around. Imagine a descending switchbacks and you come up on a 90 degree turn. This is almost a trials on trailsstoppie type manuver where you are pivoting the bike on the front wheel. Practicing this to have it in your tool bag is good for…
