Jag vet ni kan allt detta! Men för er som inte är duktiga och vill lära så finns det alltid plats för en läxa av en kille som kan kallas för duktig i vad han gör med sin cykel! Vågar ni säga att han har fel då han tar er ut på lite skogs körning?  

World Champion Greg Minnaar. World Class in Every Way.

First of all, I have to say that working with World Champion Greg Minnaar was really fun. His skills are world class - of course, but so were his attitude, work ethic, and awareness of what mountain biking is all about (fun) and who it’s all about: the recreational rider. We couldn’t have asked for more in our Descending video star instructor!

So What Did Greg Do For Mountain Biking’s Mainstream?

Good question. Better answer: Greg worked with the Bikeskills instructional team to come up with a video that can and will help anyone become a more capable and confident mountain biker when the trail points down. Greg made it real clear to us that he really wanted to help. And he did. Here are a couple of things you’re going to get from watching the video (again and again!)

• Descending is a lot of fun. But it’s also challenging: develop the skills to ensure the thrills and minimize the spills!
• When Gravity takes over, rapid, fluid body movements are crucial: know when and how to make the right moves!
• Know your Limits! The faster you are going, the more rapidly you will need to recognize what you can and can not do.
• Combine Skills. The trail pointing down is just one challenge presented with most downhill sections. Many if not most also include rock gardens, ruts and turns of all shapes and varieties.

Well, I suppose it’s time to go check that video out. Here are just a couple of places you can see it:

And for those of you with fast computers and connections, you should watch this video in High Definition!  If you have the capability to get it to a TV set (HD of course), or big screen display, you will be amazed at this true High Defintion version of the video:
