MTB FOOTWORK: PEDAL TIMING & RATCHETING | Ladies Mountain Bike Skills

Описание: 🦶Footwork

👣 Our feet do a lot while mountain biking so it’s important to be aware of what they are doing, when and how.

🦶 This is an example of a slow-speed, uphill rock garden.

🪴 The rocks are the perfect size to grab pedals so watch how I pause and use ratcheting (quarter pedal punches instead of full pedal strokes) to help the bike move forward without smashing my pedals into every rock along the way. 😎

😎 I also popped a few wheelies to help my front wheel lift while I pedaled forward.

🙃 The best way to figure out pedal stroke timing is to scan ahead and plan pedal strokes accordingly.
👇 Then use peripheral vision (so you don’t stare 🫣 at what you don’t want to hit) to time the pedal strokes so they are in the right place at the right time to miss the obstacles!

Does that make sense?
