Perfect Your Switchbacks With This Simple Drill - Practice Like a Pro #56

THIS EPISODE: Simon Lawton and Linnea Rooke are headed to the French Alps next week, so it was time to brush up on their switchback skills! What IS a switchback? This is a turn that's so tight, both tires cannot follow each other on the same path throughout the turn. Rather, we need to create an offset wheel path in which the front tire goes wide, and the rear tire stays in toward the center of the turn, allowing the bike to turn more sharply. THE KEY to achieving this is to use a pre-turn to create the offset wheel path. Need a refresher on pre-turns? Check out this prior video!    • Pre-Turns / Counter-Directional Steer...   SWITCHBACK DRILL: First, set up cones for your switchback, including the pre-turn cones and a high-marking cone. 1. Approach the pre-turn cones with level feet. 2. Make a sharp, late pre-turn. The sharper the turn, the later the pre-turn should be. (Remember "straight and late!") 3. After pre-turning, hook the front tire to the outside of the turn, up toward the high-mark cone. 4. Then, at the high-mark cone, start moving through your footwork as you ride through the actual switchback turn. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SERIOUS ABOUT IMPROVING YOUR RIDING?

With an exceptional understanding of kinesiology, Simon has developed his own teaching curriculum that explains the incredible relationship between human and machine. He has trained top pro mountain bike racers across the world, and his foundational techniques apply equally to beginner riders. His on-bike drills allow you to break down complex skills on the bike and develop correct techniques. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but prior to Fluidride, she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon's teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.
