Learning mountain bike skills in the right order can help you not only learn faster, but develop a deeper understanding of each technique. The more practice and understanding you have of each skill, the easier it is to apply while you’re riding down the trail.

YouTube is great at showing you awesome videos, but putting those videos in the correct order to match your progression on two wheels is another thing entirely. I’ve arranged the tutorials in this video to help you build up your overall bike control in the most effective and efficient way possible.

Feel free to bookmark this video and come back as you work your way through each skill. Repetition with each skill and drill will go a long way – have fun, and don’t forget: practice makes progress!

In this video, I also mentioned using Formula 100 chain lube + bike wash, which made a huge difference for me this season. Here’s a link to check it out! https://formula100.com…
