Ride Over It! An Unexpected Way To Learn This MTB Skill

I’m old and horrible, but if anybody can teach me this skill it will be you! Thank!

Nice Vid.
Could you make a detailled video about manual side to side balance. Cause im really struggling to keep the balance. I can pull into the manual but dont stay in it cause of side to side balance.
Thanks❤

Hola Aaron, espectacular el tutorial muy esperado por mi parte, los pequeños detalles son los que hacen la diferencia. Muchas gracias!!!

Keep it going Aaron nearly 100k 🦾🦾

I too struggle with side to side balance in a manual. I can comfortably track stand for more than a minute even in a switch foot stance. But struggle feeling even pressure in my feet for manuals

Thanks,Aaron for another great tutorial video.

Awesome video ! I was wondering, when do you use this pedal up technique vs lifting front wheel without pedalling ?

Thanks Aaron, as always very useful. Unfortunately you're right about the practice... It works

Great video, but you guys always show this going onto a flat platform or rock. How would you use this on a large log, where there is no flat section to shift your body. I can easily do this on flat curbs, but a 2’-3’ diameter log stops me cold every time. I’d love to see a video on large logs.

Such a useful skill! Killing it dude 👊🏼

I would be interested in hearing what you think about riding up stairs.😁

With the pallet on marge that is 30" so just over wheel height on a 29" nicely done! No hop required!

Hi Aaron, I've always used a 1/4 pedal stroke with strong foot forward to do this rather than 3/4 pedal, what's the advantage of the 3/4 option? With the 1/4 I am coming in strong foot forward with even pedals and then do a slight backpedal to get in position for the 1/4 and still have strong foot forward.

I just love you...

You are SUCH a freaking good coach, Aaron 🌠
I love listening to the intelligent and comprehensible way that you always explain the "what" & the "why" & the "how" of all the skills and techniques you teach. Great demos, too!
(I was blessed to spend several seasons as a professional ski instructor in the winter and a kids' MTB coach in the summer - I am so appreciative of anyone with a passion like yours to SHARE the sport you love and excel at)

And you're always ENCOURAGING, the way a truly good mentor should be!!
Aloha & mahalo!🍍🚲🤍🌴✨

How about getting over a small log while going up a relatively steep hill?

This was absolutely brilliant! Thanks!

What’s my strong foot? I’m usually left forward but my right may be stronger .

I have a dirt jumper with 26" wheels. Should i use it instead of the big travel 29er trail and enduro bikes?

What grips are you using in this video?

one thing I don't know if you mentioned is that you are doing a punch, ie pushing the handlebars forward to get the back wheel up. That's probably more important than scooping the rear

great video, thank you

Thank you. Your videos are helping me bring back and improve skills my body had forgotten.

another great video ..., thanks ☺️

is there any disadvantage using the manual method?

I always like watching your video, Brother! I am personally blessed by your knowledge!
