Aimed at both beginner and intermediate riders who want to learn or improve their mountain biking skills, this book concentrates on the areas of technique, style and confidence, adopting a back-to-basics approach. With the use of guinea pig students, the book illustrates the building block of each technique and shows the reader how to combine the techniques to the greatest effect. All the problem situations a biker is likely to face are covered, including tackling steep climbs, riding through thick mud, control in the air, rock-hopping, steep descents and race tactics. Each technique is dealt with thoroughly in terms of how the bike should be set up, body position and mental attitude. A technique checklist at the end of each chapter summarizes the advice given.
