Assuming its the same tire - yes. Different tires ( casing, volume) will react a bit differently. As the video title says, this is an easy method to get a good baseline, not the end of the line on fine tuning you bike :) From there you can play with it, a lot of riders have slightly lower pressure in the front tire, I personally ride with both tires quite similar... anyway its a good way to get an initial feel.

Wasn't great, mentioned nothing about feet interaction with pedals.

The goal of us as riders while riding a drop is to exit the drop balanced and land balanced. You want to keep the front wheel light for the length of the bike... so it doesn't dive too soon. Keeping the front wheel light can be done by pumping the bike, manual, a combination of both. Lifting the front wheel is less recommended because that usually causes riders to pull the handlebar, which you don't really want to do. So between a short manual, pump or combining both, you should find the move that is most natural to you, as long as you understand the goal. We do recommend learning different moves as that will simply make you more versatile on the trail. We're covering a lot of that in details on the drops section on our website.

Hi! We believe this is one of the best progressions in mountain biking technology over the last 10-15 years :) The ability to have a wide range of motion at the flick of a finger is amazing, it helps both our performance and our safety as we ride. If you haven't tried it yet I strongly suggest experiencing it, you can always decide to go back to your old seat post You can also check out our online skills coaching program on www.ridebox.bike and learn more about the seat post and many other things to help you progress your skills and adjust your bike for riding as best as possible

Well, Tal enjoys his saddle this way :) just kidding, we all need a different saddle to fit our butts as best as possible ;)

Well , everyone is at a different level 😊

Did not know that! Thanks for that :)

Hahaha, well, it's not always a good idea to smash into it. the size of the obstacle should be considered first ;)

Feel free to share a video of you practicing and we could take a look to see if we can help!

Could be, that's a great observation! i never thought about it but when I do, I understand what you mean. I also think visual cues are important. For me it helped me increase the length of my wheelies

A lot of people find small differences that helps them ride better (or stand in this case :) ). The important thing is to start from the basics and then try different things to learn what works best for you

Thanks! What more videos would you like to see?

As long as you feel comfortable and progress at your own pace- That's great!

Exactly the same, easier if you lockout the shock.

This is exactly the same for a hardtail! 😃

💥 Thanx!

🙏🙏

Thank you! We're counting on you to help us out with that ;)

Good eye :)

Thank you! stay tuned :) we're working on a lot more

That’s always an option , sure. You mind sharing a video of an obstacle you usually walk?

@@Ridebox_MTB ? It was a joke.

That’s not something we want to demonstrate 😅 What do you feel you need to not crash in those?

Happy to help! If you have ideas for more things you want to see- let us know here in the comments

We’re on it It’s one of those videos coming up soon We’d love to hear what you think as soon as it’s online 🙏🏻

Oh I’m sorry to hear that! Hope your doing all better now 🙏🏼 Commitment is definitely important and we believe that choosing the correct drop for you is the key to progress Sometimes baby steps is the best way😊 to

@@Ridebox_MTB Yeah, all is well. I actually raced 4 cross and cross country for a few years (amateur races, never professionally). Now I spend most weekends riding local trails, mountains, and bike parks. There's always something to learn and improve.

We’d love to see some of your local trails 🚵‍♂️💪🏻

Seat down or up is up to you but the reason we recommend taking it down is to allow the bike to move freely, the worst thing in these climbs is when the butt touches our saddle and prevents the bike from moving as it should. Slow could work if you’re VERY strong 😊

The thing with ending is also to know when to let go of the brake to regain balance The side hop is done by using the upper body The bike follows the weight of your body going to the side

Definitely a good choice :) If you want to try more- let us know how they worked for you 💪🏻

That’s exactly it 👍🏼 Though it sounds easy it happens to a lot of people we see on the trails

Exactly! As soon as you see early enough you can prepare for that Do you have an example to show?

I do have a technical climb that I know I can do…but I am 0 for 10. It’s a steep off camber rock face climb. Any feedback would be awesome. Once the snow melts I will record it.

😂

We also think the bikes are great 😊 Hope you’re enjoying yours as we do!

Basically yes - what you want to do is allow your bike to move and adapt to the slope, while syaing balanced on your feet. So start low, and let them go :)

@@Ridebox_MTB I like the rhymes. I need a Ridebox sticker w slogans to remind me have correct mechanics. The first should be “keep you damn heal down dude”

You got it Stickers on their way 😂

Yes, we want to move easily... on the other hand if you're riding in a very uncomfortable position for hours - you will eventually not move so easily :) So the point is to understand what a specific adjustment does and find the best compromise for you. So you can slam it low and if it is comfortable just keep it there, or go up incrementally and find your sweet spot. That logic is true for all other adjustments.

Its one example on how think about your setup, but for sure something a lot of riders overlook. Usually at the bike shop they will set it up at the highest ( or almost ) position for maximum comfort, but you can definitely try different setting and see how they feel. The best thing to do is change a setup, go ride a trail you know and repeat - try noticing what felt best without overthinking it.
