This page is just the tip of the MTB iceberg. You’ll ride much better and have more fun with a full LLBMTB membership.
Hey Lee, just wondering, is unweighting and weighting the same as pumping? Hopefully not a silly question! Ha!
Hi!
Simple answer: Yes.
Less simple answer: Not exactly. Pumping involves loading and unloading, but with a row/anti-row full-body movement cycle. Loading/unloading might be done just with legs.
For more info about pumping see https://www.llbmtb.com/members/riding-skills/pumping-bumps/
Bought your fitting book but none of the links to your bike fit calculator work!
Depending on your device, you might need to download the ebook PDF to your device, then copy the video URLs, then paste them into a browser.
Mike,
Thanks for reaching out.
The new edition of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills contains a ton of info, and you can curl up with it on your couch. It is not included with an LLBMTB membership, but you can order it here:
https://www.llbmtb.com/product/mastering-mountain-bike-skills-3rd-edition/
MMBS3 is the Bible of MTB technique, but this site is way better. 1) It contains more info. 2) It’s kept current. 3) It has videos (writing about riding is like dancing about architecture). 4) We can interact like this and on our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/llbmtb/
You know I have an agenda, but I think a full membership on this site is the best deal in mountain biking. Since you took a class, you have a discount code.
PLUS: Since you’re local, we can do private classes any time you like. http://www.leelikesbikes.com/lee-mccormack
Lee,
I love your book, and Boulder classes, but I’m not super jazzed about online/computer based learning.
Will I be well served buying your books on training, or are those part of the complete online membership? Or should I use both to keep up with changes. etc?
I want a robust winter, and then, spring followup training regimen.
Mike
