Mountain biking cross-country skills.
Mountain biking cross-country is often rugged and requires athletes to master certain mountain biking cross-country skills in order to deal with it safely, here is a summary of some practical mountain biking cross-country skills, learn it quickly.
1.Mountain biking cross-country skills: road incline
Road inclined section, steep slope to the edge of the cliff, if you use the brake or do a large movement control, may cause the tires to lose grip and slide out of the edge of the road.
(1) to turn the same, the use of side tilt body to replace the tilt bike, the greater the tilt of the road is like the greater the bend, make the force is the same, and then you know your tires will stick like glue and will not slide out sideways.
(2) Avoid accelerating on trails where the road slopes downward and maintain a certain speed before you reach it and glide across that section of road. If you have to put some force to pass, please apply force gently and smoothly.
(3) Add the full weight of your body to the pedals below the ramp, and wheel stickers can grip the pavement well.
(4) Choose the middle of the course and avoid squeezing to the top of the slope.
2. Mountain bike cross-country skills: over rocky areas
(1) Be prepared to be changed at any time, look well ahead of the front wheel before the rock, so that you can avoid the front wheel being skewed to one side. If you suddenly pop out of the original route, you still have to keep your sight on the original planned route and pedal as smoothly as possible so that you can pop back to the original planned route at any time.
(2) At low speed, the up and down vibration caused by the road and suspension system will consume a lot of kinetic energy, and if it hits a large rock at a speed similar to walking, it will cause an inability to move forward and stop, so be sure to maintain a certain speed and stabilize the upper body.
(3) If the front wheel is blocked, try to keep pedaling, usually this can make the car backward some, can give you the opportunity to choose the path next to continue to ride, and do not look back.
(4) Raise a gear and pedal, so that when you encounter an obstacle, you can avoid the rear wheel slipping.
(5) Choose a good route early, choose a path that is the least bad, and try to keep your wheels perpendicular to the rocks when bumping into them.
(6) If you have to pass through a rocky area on a downhill section, avoid using the brakes as much as possible; the best way is to skid your way through the entire area.
(7) If you must use the brakes, use both front and rear brakes, and only if the rocks are small and the handling is relatively stable, but when you encounter larger rocks or run out of the planned route, you must release the brakes.
3. Mountain biking off-road skills: getting into ditches and ruts
(1) Intentionally ride into small, parallel grooves to practice and get used to the balance of the bike.
(2) Keep the front wheel rolling, concentrate on the front, relax your body, and allow lateral movement when the wheel suddenly enters a groove.
(3) Before rolling over a large groove, try to extend one foot, if the curve of the groove is on your right, extend your right foot, and vice versa. Maintain your stance, lean back slightly, and use more rear brakes than normal. If you overuse the front brakes, you will not be able to maneuver through the confusing grooves.
(4) If you lose your balance, don't forget to use your outstretched foot to point, just make sure one foot is kept on the pedal, you will pass the bumpy road safely.
4. Mountain bike trail tips: sand riding
(1) Follow the tracks of other mountain bike riders and let the tires ride into the rutted paths that have been sunken into flat and straight to cross the sand. Keep the tires in the ruts, pedal as smoothly as possible, and hold the handlebars gently so that the entire ride follows the rutted track.
(2) Use body movement to avoid oversteering the handlebars, which can cause the front wheel to get stuck in the sand.
(3) With your hips gently contained in the saddle, keep your body weight between the two tires and your eyes looking directly at the end of the sand, use a low gear to move forward, but use a medium front gear plate so that you can have a longer period of powerful pedaling.
(4) Every time you turn the pedals, keep a straight line down, and make good use of the dead spot of pedaling between the powerful pedaling pulses to bounce your body upwards to help the tires go up and reduce the discomfort on the sand.
5. Mountain bike cross-country skills: climbing steep slopes
(1) When approaching a slope, use a small front gear, and a rear gear that is two steps higher than the gear you want to finish the slope in, and downshift some time early before running out of kinetic energy.
(2) Stay seated and when you reach the steepest part of the road, move your hips forward to sit at the very front of the cushion, lean your upper body forward to allow the front wheels to grip the ground and have proper handling (do not move your body too far forward as this will cause the rear wheels to slip), and do not stand up.
(3) If the rear wheel skids a little, do not stop, simply tilt the upper body slightly off the slope to ballast the rear wheel, and keep pedaling.
(4) When you reach the top, most climbers will cause the rear wheel to slip when crossing the top edge because they are leaning forward, so lean back slightly to keep the rear wheel biting the ground.
