RIDE WITH CONTROL
THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!
Dirt School’s coaching app lets you see the right and wrong techniques in slow-mo
Winter is in full swing now and you’re most likely finding that all of your local trails are becoming more difficult as the weather does its worst. The ground is soft, slippery roots and rocks are everywhere, and wear and tear on your body and bike is amplified. These all mean your technique and consequently your confidence suffers. What better opportunity to work on your technique? If you spend a little time now ironing out some bad habits, or working on deliberate techniques to make things easier, then, as the weather gets better in a few months you’ll be able to hit the dry trails with more confidence and control. Whether you are relatively new to the sport, or have been riding for years, this is how to improve in the off-season.
