Props for the book
Lee, hello. Thank you so much for your book. It has improved my riding so much, so fast I feel like I’m cheating. You should get people who work in bike stores to sell it off the counter. It has improved my life. Really. I mean it. So much fun to ride better…

Hill for dual slalom?
Hey Lee,
I’m looking to get started building a Dual Slalom course. I obviously have a hill in mind but I’m not sure how tall or steep it needs to be.
What do you know about Dual Slalom courses as far as hill height and grade is concerned? Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Brock

20×60 pump track?
Lee,
Just read the article in the Aug. Mt Bike Action and was wondering if my yard would be big enough to build a pump track. It is 20″ by 60″… I could build the berms out of 2*4 and plywood (I’ve built halfpipes and bowls) My yard would be perfect for a ramp but as I’m 36 I just want something a bit tamer and more applicable. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Andy Small

Using brakes in mid air
Lee,
(This is a comment re: Controlling mid-air rotation.) Wow this is great – I am 35 and trying to improve my jumping as well – it is good to hear of other people not in their early twenties trying to get “new school.”
My question is regarding using your brakes while in the air: I heard you can drop your front or rear wheel using your front or rear brake in the air. Is this correct? if so, what are the physics behind it?

Drops: Staying on flat pedals
Lee,
I am learning to ride flats after 13 years of clip-in pedals. Things are going pretty well except I often totally lose contact with the pedals on sizable drop offs. I am trying to keep the front pedal pointed at 2PM and the rear pedal pointed down, but I still lose contact. Any advice? What am I doing wrong?
