Lee The end-of-day recovery from your four day clinic (LLB Moab Camp Oct. 22-25, 2015) is very interesting to me. As I am 54 I find this is becoming extremely important. What can I do to learn about the best recovery for me? Chris
It’s all about the middle dot. Pump it hard to drive outward and late-apex the outer dot. Cul de sac kung fu!
Last fall my orthopedist said he will eventually replace my flesh shoulder with a metal one. In the meantime, some brilliant physiotherapists and trainers have helped me function better and ride stronger. The three sharpest people from the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine have recently opened their own facility: REVO Physiotherapy & Sports Performance in […]
Hi Lee, I have a bike-nerd question that’s been bothering me for a couple of weeks and I think you’re the guy to help! If you look at freestyle BMX riders they don’t hold the bars at the ends – they seem to consistently hold the bars more inward so that there is an inch […]
Check out these LLB-designed pump tracks — one advanced and one beginner — in the town of EagleVail, CO. My wife, girls and I will be riding there this weekend!
Hi Lee, First of all, I just wanted to say thanks for the Pump Up the Base programme. It is the first bike related training programme I have done (although i have extensive experience with track and field programmes, predominantly sprinting) and was blown away by the progress I made over the 12 weeks; struggling […]
I want to put some of the best riding — ever! — in one place for us mortals to study. I’m looking for clean shredding. Check these out, and tell me what I missed! UPDATED July 7, 2015 with Greg Minnaar’s World Cup DH winning run. UPDATED July 6, 2015 with Andreu Lacondeguy’s beautiful violence.
By now most of the internet knows Aaron Gwin won last week’s World Cup downhill in Leogang without a chain. He broke it out of the gate, shrugged it off then railed and pumped his way to a win — over the best riders in the world — the rest of whom pedaled! Totally rad. […]
Check out this pair of pump tracks I designed for a 5-star resort on the coast of Portugal. These tracks were built by the resort’s construction crew — and they look fun! The beach view isn’t bad either.
Hi Lee! I’m practicing the LLB Remote Coaching cornering drills before every ride and the lean angles are getting bigger! At least on the paved parking lot… Question: When leaning the bike, say into a left turn should the left hand put a bit more weight on the front wheel? Or should I try to […]
Hey Lee- Met you at the Georgia high School mountain bike league Summit last summer with Dan Brooks and got some good riding in there. I have a serious question about cornering and the techniques that IMBA is teaching. I find that I do a combination of flat footed for easy turns and outside foot […]
We use the classic figure eight drill a lot in the LLB remote coaching program. It can be done anywhere, shows lots of skills and can be scaled to challenge any rider. As riders’ technical cornering skills become non-conscious, we start to focus (ha ha!) on vision.
