Tips for Drifting in Mountain Biking Cornering

MICKEY DENONCOURT: Before trying to do a skid setup, or you know, intentionally drift the bike, you know, how we execute it, it seems pretty intuitive at high speed, when we stop and break down the mechanics of it, it's relatively sophisticated. So, I'm coming out of this line, where I'm already do, well out to the left, and then basically, what I do is I'm not on my breaks like I am right now. I lean way forward, on my bike, I weight the inside handle bar, notice how that keeps happening all the time, and while I'm weighting the inside of the bar, with all of my weight forward, tap my back brake a little bit, and then I'll use my hips to throw my right inside--my the back of my bike out to the right, until it catches, and then I'll let go, so I'll roll through it at, you know, sort of three quarter speed and watch my hands and hips to see that I was doing what I was talking about.
