How to improve the technique on your MTB?

Having a good BTT technique is important when training or competing

Next our collaborator Personal Runnig tells us a series of exercises that will make you acquire more technical, management and control of your mountain bike, to save, overcome and leave situations that you will find both in your training and in your competitions.

For this we will make a classification based on the type of exercise:

GROUP EXERCISES:

• Stand next to the partner and with one hand grab the partner's seatpost and continue pedaling. At the same time, another partner would grab my seatpost and so on.
• Stand behind a partner, grab his seatpost with one hand and be towed.
• Stand behind a partner, grab his seatpost and push him.
• Pedal in pairs in parallel holding one hand.
• Pedal in pairs in parallel holding each other's shoulders.
• Pedal diagonally and the back one grabs the partner's shoulder to push or be towed.
• By trios in parallel, the center goes without hands grabbing the shoulders of the teammates.

EXERCISES OF OBSTACLE STEPS: (on curb)

• to go up front: we raise the front wheel by pulling the handlebar up and carrying the weight of the body slightly back
• to lower frontally: we make a small elevation of the wheel while sliding the hip backwards.
• To jump laterally an obstacle, we draw a line on the ground and pull the bicycle from the handlebar and from the pedals jumping from one side to another.

INDIVIDUAL TECHNICAL EXERCISES OF PEDALEO:

• Pedal sitting on the back of the bicycle, stomach on top of the saddle.
• Pedal sitting in front of the saddle, on the horizontal bar.
• Sitting on the side of the bike on a pedal.
• Pedal with one finger on the handlebar and the opposite hand on the back.
• Pedal without hands
• Pedal with one leg
• Mark a circuit of cones and zig-zag.

 From Personal Running, we hope and we hope that all these exercises are useful and help you to get the most out of your mountain bike, not only not to lose money, but also to get the most out of it by saving all that energy that we waste when we do not have an adequate technique .

Greetings to all.
