Those of you who consider a dirt driveway to be off-road cycling need not read further. You obviously got your mountain bike just because it looks cool and eases over the speed bumps in your neighborhood. No, this sequence of videos is for the serious biker who would rather challenge a mountain than roll down a hill. If find yourself ten feet in the air thinking about how you could get higher for the next jump, these videos target you. If you refuse to get off of your bike at a creek crossing until the water level reaches above your head, you are indeed a serious mountain biker and can make good use of the advanced techniques explained in these clips.

Our mountain biking expert discusses the correct way to get over, around and through any obstacles you may encounter on your adventures. He also demonstrates proper weight distribution and riding techniques, and discusses modulation and braking theory.
