I have taken that same Advanced Riding clinic @jasbushey did. Most of the people in the clinic attended the beginner class the day before as part of a discounted 2-day clinic. I'd call myself an intermediate rider, but I thought the skills taught in that advanced class were basic fundamentals, stuff that around here at least you need to know to get down just about any trail safely. I was hoping the clinic would be geared towards taking those fundamentals to the next level - getting coached in real time on body positioning and dialing the techniques of each rider...

Except he purposely is leaving out what differentiates fluidrides cornering drill as helpful vs an unhelpful one out of respect to fluidride. From the little team robot gave away I assume it’s mostly about actually adjusting your feet as you corner. A lot of riders effectively corner one way left and another right. Of course their are times on the trail you’ll have to corner without time or space to adjust your feet but a lot of riders simply don’t really think about their feet as much as they should when they ride. The difference is a good coach will...

"Oh yeah, this winter I helped open up my third local bike park and now I'm supporting fast local kids on flow for my personal frame brand." SO COOL!!! Hope you can stay healthy this season, Neko. Thanks for the great stuff.

Copy that TEAMROBOT, good feedback. I suppose I've never done cone drills with a coach to know, and its been 25 years since I did a mountain bike clinic. This is good talk that has got me interested in getting coaching. We can all get faster and better. And I think making improvement is what gets me stoked on biking.

12/9/2022 2:07pm I really don't want to give away Simon and Fluidride's secret recipe, but I'll say that he zero'd in on footwork, center of gravity, and unconscious left/right differences in technique. Most riders turn better one direction vs. the other, and that was immediately apparent to Simon after watching me ride for 25-seconds. I actually think it was helpful to not...

Neko is the perfect example of the kind of person who wakes up in the morning and pisses excellence.

12/9/2022 9:30am JasBushey, I'm gonna push back a little on the "cone drills or ladders aren't worth my money" thing. The one-on-one Fluidride clinic I attended with Simon that drastically improved my pro downhill racing skills (I'd already attended one or two world cup races at this point) was largely cones on a gravel road. I don't want to give away too...

I come from a motocross background and I'm very good at that. The skills carry over quite well, although there are obviously lots of adjustments to make. I consider MTB sort of my "#2" sport, so I don't feel the need to invest in a coach; I just ride to train and have fun. I have the ability to ride anything I can imagine doing on a mountainbike, so I'm content with the skillset I have now.

I paid a decent chunk of change on an “advanced” riders skill course. I was 1000% disappointed. This was a group setting and we spent most of the day doing beginner skill drills because almost all of the riders in this group were beginners who “thought” they were advanced. It was a total DISAPPOINTMENT. If you’re looking for serious coaching don’t go with Ninja Skills or whatever their name is. Big waste of money

It's cool, I did the same thing to my frame with my feet and by crashing a lot. Looks killer.

12/7/2022 10:21am Have you guys seen the price of a sandwich or apartment lately? Seems to the ROBOTS like your human overlords are getting pretty greedy in most categories these days, not just championship winning downhill bikes.

EVERYTHING is getting insanely expensive now. Just look at the price hike for Yetis, or even Trek or Specialized. It is just tits.

I felt like I had plateaued and couldnt get any faster back in 2012, so I ended up taking a Better Rides course. I went from thinking I knew everything to realizing I didnt know anything. Its 10 years later and I'm STILL working on skills I was taught back then, lol. I realized I needed much more coaching, so I ended up joining Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance as a coach (so I could get coaching!) and 8 years later I have taken every course I can, I am Fluidride Instructor Level 2 certified, and was in charge of our...

The losses need to be put into context. 40 to 60 W is 4 to 6 %. Not THAT much. But the question is how much losses are in an 11T drivetrain. 2 to 4 %? Not much but could make the photo finish go against you instead of for you.
