2 Wheel Technique is now a part of the Noon Activities Program at West Senior High. We set up in one end of the gym on Friday and the students have an opportunity to come in and ride. Here are some pictures from Friday October 19.
Coulton – focusing intently as he rolls the big box
Anthony turning the corner to roll the skinny off the big box
Anthony caught in perfect balance on the teeter
Evan on the skinny up to the big box
The rain stopped just in time and the weather cleared up nicely for our biggest group of riders yet. Another great day for a clinic.
The group poses for a photo
Ray leads the group down the skinny
Roger with a strong pedal stroke to lift the front end.
Dave uses his body to re-direct the bike on the ladder bridge.
Karen strong and tall in her trackstand
Don in mid drop on the big stairs
Rex eyes forward and looking through the finish
Ray on the ladder bridge – focused through the finish
Roger with perfect form rolling the drop
Dave looking very relaxed and comfortable rolling the big stairs
Don pedals up on the low box
Rex wheelie drops the ladder!
Karen rolls the ladder drop – arms extending as the bike rolls down
Yvonne watches the guys perfect their trackstand technique
Mark and Terri trackstand without the wall – they have been practicing!
Five young shredders came out and ripped it up on a picture perfect day.
You all should be proud of what you accomplished in one session!
Adam lookin’ totally relaxed on the teeter
Peter eyes up and ahead, pedaling through to the end
Jeremy perfectly positioned for the drop – check out the focus!!
Nate looking good – finishing off the long skinny
Jake on the ladder bridge – with a little re-direct to stay on course
Adam rolls the drop
Jeremy caught in action – just as the teeter starts to move
Nate with perfect form off the big drop – arms extending and allowing the bike to roll away from his body
Peter coming off the drop with some speed
Taking a break – time to refuel!
Jake gettin’ the front end up with a pedal up onto the big box
Adam – trackstand in total control
Jeremy on the big teeter!
Nate rolling the long ladder – nice and in control
Peter strong and tall in his trackstand
Jake with perfect form rolling the big steps
Mark and Terri worked on technique for larger obstacles this weekend. Those rocks in Moab are getting less intimidating every day!
Here are some pictures from the lesson.
Terri with good wheelie form – arms extended and torso upright
Terri rolling the drop – around 15″ high, about as big as possible without chunking the chainrings 🙂
Mark rolling the drop – arms extended and weight back
Mark working on going up – in this one his weight is too far back, and the pedals aren’t level. The chainring will hit the wall by the time he is ready to spring up and unweight the bike – and his hips are too low.
Terri with another common mistake – she has absorbed the upward movement of the bike with her arms. Her body is moving forwards but not up.
Mark with much better form – pedals level, legs extending as his hips are already moving upwards. He used the wheelie to get his body moving upwards.
Terri gets it figured out! Hips moving up and pedals coming around to level. Spring like a cat and that back wheel will float right up!
