Video: driveway practice session on three mtb braking drills

View this post on Instagram

A 50-sec video of my driveway braking skills practice session yesterday. It's based on the article "3 braking drills that will add speed to your riding" by @leelikesbikes, posted to the how-to category of @mtb_project's blog I definitely need some work on getting my heels down more for drill #3, what I refer to as 'hop-heavy braking.' @leelikesbikes was right when he wrote, "This is a double complex move! But it’s double rad." I also need to find a different surface other than pavement to practice., eg gravel or hard-packed snow.
