Hi, I am Joey Lowell from Bike Skills. What you just saw was a track stand. This important fundamental amount in biking that will really help you out on the trail. And today, I am going to show you how I do a track stand.
To set up for a track stand, roll up to a slide uphill and come to a complete stop using both breaks. Make sure your sit is lower than normal. Find the gear that allows you to keep constant pressure on the drive trail. Stand up with your strong foot on the foot pedal.
The key to the track stand is to apply forward force through the pedals while counteracting it by feathering the breaks. Notice how I will forward it back while turning the bars to maintain balance. You are never completely still. Performing a track stand involves mini micro movements.
To extra the track stand, release the breaks, pedal forward and straighten out your bars. Here is how the most basic of mountain bike skills can help you out on the trail.
That is it. I am Joey Lowell from Bike Skills. With full of practice, you too, can do a track stand.
