Why Front Wheel Fun?
Sometimes itβs easier and safer to get around a tight downhill switchback on the front wheel β counterintuitive, we know. Using a shift of body weight (called a Magic Stop) and varying levels of front brake, riders can suspend and rotate the back wheel in the air to reposition the bike in the corner β this avoids having to turn too tightly, which can cause a crash.

Switchback on the Nose?
"Ryan breaks down both stoppies and nose pivots into a logical progression of smaller skills, each of which is addressed in its own video with drills to help the learning process, plus advice about possible stumbling blocks to avoid. Ryan gradually leads the rider to merge the skills into one smooth, stylish movement. Itβs easy to pose questions or post videos of progress, and the Coaches and Mentors are quick to reply with insightful, encouraging comments. M Adams (verified member)
