Dammit’s adventures in mountain biking

Compress before the lip then move weight up at the lip. Don’t pull the bars, let your weight bring the bike up with you.

Will give it a go next time.

Today was fun, much to think about. I used the dropper for the first time and it is very different, always out of the saddle, sprint-style pedalling between corners, eye's fixed on the corner exit and hoping that the bike rotates without climbing up the banking.

The surface is a lot more rooty, with a lot more broken terrain in some sections on the red route, none of it was a problem to roll over when it came to it but I did wonder what was going to happen when I saw it down the trail.
