Serious Question: How do you keep your wheels straight in this 💩?

You don’t.

Let it go, loose like a goose

Whenever i have friend, who is new to mtb, with me on the trails i always tell them to never focus on the front wheel. Look ahead to where you want to go and the bike will generally go in that direction. In the snow parts of the video it seems like you focus on the wheel and not the the trail.

Similar if there is rocks, roots and trees on the trails that you want to avoid… Dont focus on them, because chances are you’ll crash right into them…

Mtb isn’t like roadbicking where you can keep the wheel and bike steady, and keep a consistent pace. It’s more like a dance with the bike where you shift your weight and posture around the bike, and push hard when needing to and being focused on the technical decends where you (normally) can catch your breath.

That being said, i liked the video.

Going uphill in snow is much harder as your wheels will track to the least resistance. Downhill is much easier and pretty much keeps you locked in especially on singletrack. Your speed will be limited by the snow density. I have found riding on crowned gravel roads the most difficult and more likely to go off track.

These are the sounds of a fun ride!

I use my handlebars

Looking ahead and letting my body react

4,5 or 5 inch tires, but if the ground is muddy, youre just messing the trail for when it dries up
