Public Steep Tech MTB Skills | Learning to Feel Comfortable When It Gets Uncomfortable

Описание: Today’s Steep Tech course at Stile Cop was all about stepping outside the comfort zone and learning how to feel comfortable when uncomfortable. From the very first run, the vibe was spot on...positive, supportive, and ready to dig in. This terrain doesn’t hide its intentions either; steep chutes, awkward cambers, ruts that want to grab your wheels, and roots waiting to test both technique and nerve.

We broke it all down and built it back up properly. Dynamic braking, understanding and choosing effective brake zones, correct weighting, and purposeful body positioning were at the heart of the day. On steep technical ground, everything happens faster and mistakes are amplified, so learning to stay relaxed, controlled, and deliberate is what unlocks real progression. Once those foundations start to click, the trail suddenly feels less chaotic and a lot more predictable.

As the day rolled on, confidence grew with every run. Riders started trusting their setup, committing earlier, releasing the brakes when needed, and letting the bike do its job. That controlled manner is where the magic happens, progress without panic, speed without rushing, and technique that actually sticks. Seeing riders go from cautious to confident on terrain like this is exactly why we run these courses.

Massive credit to the whole group. The encouragement, laughs, shared wins, and support for each other made the day what it was. Everyone pushed themselves, everyone learned, and everyone left riding stronger than they arrived.
