Since mtb is super dead where I live, but there’s people who want to get into it anyway, I’ve kind of become the guy to go too. I’m not good, but I’ve been riding the trails in this area for years and understand what works for me, kind of. I also have the only shop in the area that works on mtbs so I almost have to know how to ride them.

So this section is a little gnar, and plowing the center just seems to never go well. But squwiggling to the right and aiming left then setting an arc into the rut seems to always work.

The rider here, it’s his first time mountain biking and I was able to get him riding stuff pretty well that most regular weekend riders can’t! He doesn’t do well once in the rut but I guess that’s a diffefent lesson.

All I got to say is that video makes me miss my home trail in middle TN. I loved that muddy jungle
Looks like you guys are doing fine, I’m not sure if you need to over analyze this line.
When riding with people who actually want my advice (rare!) I usually keep it very simple. Slow down here, don’t brake there, etc.
Trying to explain a very specific line to a new rider never goes well. They end up overthinking it.
