I’ve watched a few videos recommended from above and its become apparent I’m too tense, arms locked and gripping white knuckle style!

Thanks for all the advice.

What a fantastic resource! Thanks for all the advice guys, I’m going to Lee Quarry tomorrow to give it all a bash.

Many thanks

Dave.

I’m on that much of a girl on the none technical fast bridleway descents – its just when it gets hairy!

Please keep the comments coming guys – all will be considered and given a shot

Cheers

Arse over the back wheel – covered!

Drop yer heels – will try

Keep yer wrists down too – my brake/gear levers are at about 45 degrees from floor so I reckon thats enough

Elbows out – never heard this – will try

Knees bent – further suspension?

Let the bike move under you?

Stay relaxed – I think this is where I’m going wrong, I’m too tense and rigid

Doing the same route Friday morning if anybody is up for it ?

Get yourself out! Just bring an extra pack of soreen, u'll be fine. Im going to go up the canal until I get to Hey Green, up the track that joins the A62, up the A62 for about half a mile then up and over Pule Hill (very steep ascent and descent!) For then rest… u'll have to come and find out!

It's certainly not going to be racing pace, too scentic a route and early in the morning to be head down all the way.

Hopefully cya Sunday morning?!

No idea, considering recent weather condions and depending on who turns up i reckon 3/4 hours. It's a real tough gritty MTB ride. prob 95% trail
