Here’s a quick little snippet from this week’s homework assignment. Had a lot of fun with this one. It can be tricky if you’re short like me, but I found that having something to put your foot on this 10 times easier to coordinate and develop confidence on. And yes, sometimes out on the trail. I’ll find a rock to stand on for big moves like this. 🙌

Happy Fourth everyone!

Here is some videos from the start of our 30 mile loop today

Getting rowdy on old bikes is the best kind of fun. 😅

Great call this week! We talked about all things body position & power delivery when it comes to obstacles & particularly a "log hop" YOUR HOMEWORK: Review the following videos: Clutch Pops You Don't Need To Wheelie To Hit Big Obstacles Then if you feel you have your Clutch Pops dialed you can move onto the exercise posted below. Your GOALS with this drill: ~Smooth compression and body movement IN TIME with the suspension. NO MUSCLING IT UP. This should be physically EASY, when timed correctly. ~Power loaded in the motor, QUICK clutch pop. ~Hit both brakes once front wheel makes it 2/3 of the way up the log. Clutch comes back to slipping. ~Hold for a count of 5 or 10. Whatever it takes to make you feel like you have CONTROL. Not just "up and back down". We want to feel balanced, steady and sure, before we roll back and start again. We're working our composure here. It's important to be intentional. ~We start with the front tire against the log, almost driving into it a little bit. If you get bored of that drill, there are some more power progressions in: 5 Backyard Drills For Rock Gardens ADVANCED PRACTICE: If you have that dialed and you need a bigger challenge. Find a large obstacle. Rock slab, wall, tire. Something a few feet tall. ~Place a mark on the obstacle, (something clearly visible in video 😏) ~Start about 1/3 - 1/2 the height of the obstacle back. ~Repeat all the criteria above, but lift your front tire and place it ON THE MARK. ~ Get this CONSISTENTLY. Not just once every fifty reps. Challenge yourself to get 3/5/10 in a row. Post your practice to the group!
