Miriam Nicole’s endo: was she too far back?
/0 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, After studying your lessons about not getting weight back in the air and staying centered (Stop the injury cycle!), I’m curious if that contributed to Myriam Nicole’s violent endo at the Fort William World Cup.

Hamstring stretches for people who don’t want to stretch
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, I attended the Level 1 class at Valmont Bike Park with Kevin this weekend, it was awesome. We learned so much! One of the key things I learned is that I need more flexibility. Kevin mentioned F6 and it looks like a great way to reinforce key movements and strengthen your riding body. I […]
