Cornering, MMBS style

Hi Lee,
I was in a local short course type XC race yesterday and aside from getting gassed on an uphill section I realized I wasn’t handling the corners well at all. I was spending the night in a hotel and had thought to bring along my Mastering Mountain Bike Skills book so I pulled it out and studied the section on cornering. I identified that the two main pieces messing me up were when I was braking and the line I was choosing. In today’s longer XC race I focused on those two aspects as I cornered and it made a HUGE difference. Thanks for putting together such a user friendly book!

Right on Karmen!

Thanks for the kind words. I’m super glad MMBS is helping you. That book was BRUTAL to write and illustrate. I actually stressed myself into a case of the shingles (the most intense pain ever; even more than a broken clavicle, and it lasted for weeks).

MMBSii is in process, and it it’s much more refined, especially when it comes to the core skills. And, so far, no shingles.

Braaap!
