Cornering Part 3: How Rotation Can Help Accelerate Performance
Berms, turns and cutties... cornering is rad so listen in to part 3 of our series on cornering to help get you 'learning ya turning'!
Cornering can quickly become complicated due to the variety of skills, biomechanical movements, terrain configurations, and speeds. This episode aims to simplify the rotational component of cornering that can help intermediate and advanced riders drive the bike through corners.
We start this week's episode with a quick chat about being inspired by older shredders from different sports and reviewing 1 year of Donuts & Bikes... and then we get stuck into cornering!
- What's missing from some cornering tips... any pet peeves?
- What when do we rotational movements?
- The importance of Position, Braking & Line Choice before Rotation
- When do we need rotation and using speed and intensity for more relevant, applicable demonstrations
- Who has more control? The rider or physics?
- What is rotation and how to use one body part to start teaching rotation...
- What are the 'usual suspects' and what are some of the less common body parts or movements, people can be aware of to improve performance
- Example progressions for developing rotation
- How coaches can analyze a riders movements to improve lessons
- How to use effective feedback to drive performance
- DONUT OF THE WEEK: the legendary 1 kilogram Crocodile Dundee Donut!
