Tips for Skid Set ups in Mountain Biking Cornering

MICKEY DENONCOURT: You may notice when I come into this corner, right here. I'm often, it often looks like I'm blocking up my back wheel, sort of getting a loose fishtailing it. That's called the skid setup, and what I'm doing, is I'm using--breaking my wheel loose to get from way out here on the outside of this corner, I'm using it to break my back in loose, skid it, and drift it until it hits this rut right here, so I can get good exit speed for this corner. So, I'll do it a couple times for you, so you can get an idea of what I'm doing. You do the same thing, on really fast sweepers on fire roads and stuff like that, except you don't use your breaks, you just weight your front end a lot. But that's pretty much the distance, let me show you.
