I've been wanting to do a series sharing some of the skills I've learned over the course of my 25 years of mountain biking. But I've always been leery to. I know alot about bikes, alot about mountain biking, but teaching someone else is totally different. That's why I decided to just show how I do drops, and what is the easiest way to do drops in my opinion. There are alot of other opinions on how to do drops, but... Different people learn different ways, so the way I communicate may not work for everyone. With that being said, a team mate ( Lyss ) and I were talking and she mentioned she wanted pointers along the way of her journey to becoming a local pro enduro mountain bike racer. So, we talked and came up with the idea of recording a few of those pointer sessions, and hopefully they can help others looking to hone their skills. The opinions in this video are my own, and they are just that, my opinions on how I do drops.
