Revise Your Mountain Bike Beliefs! Upgrade Fear to Intention! [RNL S1, Ep 46]
Manage episode 457433508 series 3555075
We're upgrading our mountain bike operating system from moving backwards with fear to moving forward with aggressive confidence! Take a deep dive into clever techniques and new thought patterns to perfectly balance on the bike and attack the trails with increasing confidence!
The 'fear response' of leaning back on the bike is not serving Dan so Sage suggests a new 'fear response' of moving forward with trust in our MTB skills! We do not need to be the kind of riders we thought we were. Let's all update our belief systems to be the best riders we can imagine! Also discussed are trials bikes, BMX & moto for MTB Skills, tips for riding trails "blind," best MTB tires and much more! Flow on the bike, flow in life! Anything is possible and you're unlimited! We got this!
MTB Gratitude of the Week
Sage: Demo of the new Specialized Stumpjumper 15! Thank you Sean at Specialized for making it happen! Early reports from Sage are that the Stumpjumper feels incredibly stable/planted on the ground and instantly comfortable in the air! The bike wouldn't allow a pre-ride. It goes! Huge gratitude to Sean, Keswick Cycles and Main Line Cycles for making this demo happen! Specialized Stumpjumper 15 https://www.specialized.com/us/en/stumpjumper
Dan: Dirt Therapy Project! Helping military veterans find healing through mountain biking! Everything we love about mountain biking all wrapped up in a great cause. Fun, stoke, community, joy, laughter, progression and appreciation! Happiness through Mtbing!

MTB Tip of the Week:
When you're leading a group ride, you have to pay attention to all elements of all riders. Set a pace that is comfortable, provide a good warmup and choose progressive jump and/or tech features that everyone can enjoy.
