Total: Following Terrain
This one is a funny episode, where we dive into how you can be perfectly centred on the bike and suddenly out of nowhere feel completely off balance when the terrain changes.
A rise in the trail.
A roller.
A compression.
An uphill lip.
A hump hidden inside a descent.
One moment the bike feels planted and predictable...
The next, the front wheel starts wandering, the steering feels vague, or the rear kicks unexpectedly and throws you forward.
Why?
Because “staying centred” is not quite as simple as staying in one place on the bike.
In this episode, we look at what really happens to your balance when the angle of the terrain changes — and why riders can unknowingly lose their position even though they haven't moved at all!
Once you recognise what is happening, these strange little moments stop feeling random and you undertsand how to anticipate them.
