The Riding For A Lifetime Podcast

Why Most Riders Can’t Fix Their Skills (and Don’t Even Know Why)


Listen Later

Most riders think they have a skills problem…

But what if the real issue is how your body moves?

In this podcast, I break down why so many riders struggle to improve their cornering, manuals, and jumps — even after spending time and money on skills clinics.

The truth is, movement is the foundation of skill.

If you can’t move well off the bike, you’ll never reach your full potential on it.

You’ll learn:

✅ The difference between a movement problem and a skill problem

✅ How poor mobility and movement patterns limit your riding progress

✅ The key movement patterns that drive better bike control (and how to train them)

✅ Why strength training — done right — makes every trail skill easier

Think of it like this: Mobility → Movement → Strength → Skill

Once you fix the foundation, your skills start to take care of themselves.

Until next time...

Ride Strong,
