Mountain Biking Control Tips

So what I'm able to do by you know using extreme weight shifts, by using settle correction with my brakes and by really forcing my bike into the ground if I'm able to have more control. By being more aggressive in my riding style I have more control over what my bike is doing. If I just maintain you know a pass stance as a passenger as my bike road this section it wouldn't be as likely that I would make it through this section as safely every time and I'm certainly wouldn't be making it as quickly. So the things that I do that really make a difference coming through here the biggest thing is I push my bike down that first hill when I'm coming into the section. I really ungulate hard through here and put some force on my handle bars as we where jumping. There is a apex here you know it is like a big bold circle and when you get into the middle of it you can really suck your self before then extended and it creates force. As I get up over here I sort of exaggerate another way shift by throwing my back end out, picking out my front end and really just pushing it down to the ground. So I go up there and demonstrate this one corner one more time to see how really exaggerated the weight shifts are. And how that gives me more control cause I'm forcing my wheels into the ground. But basically what we are doing time and time again is looking for the smooth parts of trail putting our bikes on the smooth parts of the trial and just pumping and having fun.
