THIS EPISODE WITH SIMON LAWTON & @LINNEAROOKE
Cornering is one of the most complex things you can do on a bike; it’s a never-ending quest of perfection. With so many elements to perfect body positioning in corners, it helps to boil it all down to simple cues with the greatest impact.

The most transformational cue is to use correct hip rotation! This goes beyond just bike-body separation, and allows the rider to truly transfer power to the inside knobs on your tire.

Watch this video to see the difference between bike-body separation and true hip rotation, and how this brings the entire front-side body around to execute a clean and powerful turn.

With an exceptional understanding of kinesiology, Simon has developed his own teaching curriculum that explains the incredible relationship between human and machine. He has trained top pro mountain bike racers across the world, and his foundational techniques apply equally to beginner riders. His on-bike drills allow you to break down complex skills on the bike and develop correct techniques.

ABOUT LINNEA ROOKE
Linnea has been racing locally in the pro category, but prior to Fluidride, she had almost no formal training and was held back by major gaps in her technique. While she was able to carry speed well on straight downhills and high-bermed turns, she lacked foundational cornering skills and was timid in the air. In Feb 2020, she met up with Fluidride to help with a filming trip in Baja, and was fascinated by Simon’s teaching methods. Wanting to be part of this mission, she left her career in healthcare in July 2020 to officially join the Fluidride team as COO. We started filming this series to document her journey of cleaning up bad habits, adding new skills to her toolkit, and chasing her dream of riding with style.

Linnea is riding an Evil Following V3! https://www.evil-bikes.com
