How to ride skinnies on your mountain bike trails! Learn techniques and mindset from Sage on how he easily and consistently gets his bike over all sizes and types of skinny features.

Dan and Sage are stoked to ride some brand new and really challenging skinnies on our last ride, including a skinny with a skinny teeter-totter in it! The guys discuss the ride and the techniques to tackle skinnies with confidence.  Dropper down. Shift your weight. Keep tension on the pedals (ride the brakes). Eyes on the destination! Break the skinny into segments. Focus on what can go right! Do not focus on what can go wrong. You have the skills to ride in a straight line. You got this!

Mountain Bike Tip of the Week:

Practice riding the lines on the road. Next road ride, ride the white line or find a parking lot to ride zero consequence lines. We'll forgive you for riding a road bike if you're practicing skinnies at the same time :)

The video version of this episode is also available on YouTube here:

Many of the featured skinnies can be found on a trail called Twisted Sister. They range from easy to difficult, so proceed with caution when attempting them, and use common sense.
