Can this ONE thing unleash your MTB cornering?

After trying to come to terms with my enduro MTB for some years now, I have finally found my personal key to unlock the next step in my skills journey. Let me take you along on a special day for me where it finally clicked.

You will see how a random hint which I picked up here on YouTube (from @slantedground cheers mate!) can transform mountainbike cornering skills for me as an intermediate rider (at best). (Btw – this is the video mentioned 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/eJjcfVS78VE?si=tpIkX6U9vv14p5l5 – found it a last 😉🙏🏼)

…all of this on the backdrop of us shredding some of the nicest trails here in Tuscany: Poggio pelato trail area, Castiglioncello (Livorno, Italy).

  1. Thanks for the advice, Mike! I have to say that I am in exactly same situation like you was. I just could not nail the cornering and this affects my entire ride. I hope shoulder and elbow technic would work for me so well as it worked for you.
