Skill Clinic Flow Progression | Improve your cornering technique

On every trail, there is a corner where you brake when you don't really want to. After this morning, you will ride through it with confidence.

You know the feeling. You ride a section that doesn't actually look that difficult. Yet your pace drops, turn after turn. You hit the brakes sooner than you'd like. You make it to the bottom, but feel like you have more in you.

It doesn't have to be this way. Not by simply riding faster, but by looking ahead, choosing your line before the turn, and letting your bike do what it was made for. If you trust it, the rest will follow naturally. That is exactly what we are training this morning. On the Hellendoorn mountain bike trail, with direct feedback on your technique where it really counts.

What are the benefits?

After this morning, you ride differently. You notice it right from the first corner. You brake later. Your line is tighter. Your mountain bike responds the way you want it to. That gives you confidence, and you carry that with you for the rest of your ride. And the trails you ride after that? They suddenly feel smoother. Not because they’ve become easier, but because you’ve gotten better.
