Everything to help you ride stronger and better.
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?

Last weekend I was invited to a delicious training spot. It’s 160 acres owned by a family whose son rides, and it’s shaping up to become Whistler South. Read to the bottom, because they’re offering camps.

This weekend we held four free clinics for beginner and sport XC, DH, 4X and SD racers. I hoped to encourage new racers to try these events, and to help everyone feel more comfortable out there. Some things went well; others can go better.

hi lee,
need help with cornering, i can corner ok on both sides. but when it come to doing cutties, drifting and even whips, i only can do them turning right. cutties to the left is just impossible, most of the time i end up having the front tire lose traction before the rear. i keep leaning lower and keeping my weight on the front tire but it just doesn’t work. how can i overcome this?

Lee,
I am doing my first 24 hour race this weekend. I am riding on a 5 person team. I need some advice on how to prepare my diet leading up to the race. How does your buddy Weir prepare? Actually any and all advice is welcome at this point.

Yesterday I treated one of my clients to something very cool: downhill shuttles, with a moto as the shuttle vehicle. What a sweet way to dial in his skills training.

Hi all. If any of you want to rock some skills while you’re at the Sea Otter, email me and let’s set something up during a break.
We can work on position, cornering, pump or pretty much anything you want. A couple hours with me and I PROMISE you’ll be a better rider. I help most people take 1/3 to 1 second off a tight corner.
My rates are the same for one to three riders, so you can get some buddies together if you want.
One hour: $100
Two hours: $150
Time permitting, we can do pretty much whatever you want. You’ll dig it!
Hello Lee. my son is 9 and at the stage where he needs to learn how to manual so he can hit the rythym sections on the bmx track/mountain trails. Do you have any tips to begin developing the skill of manualling? If my memory serves me you had an article on this in the past?
