Throne Position: On-Trail Video Review
Next time you get out to ride, even if it’s just in your driveway, set up a camera and snag some video of yourself in these three situations!
- Just cruising around a flat space
- Approaching a turn (but before you start to move into the turn)
- Approaching a roll-down or drop
Now, check each of these these situations and check yourself:
- Are you starting with your hips tall and your head up?
2. Are your knees driven over your toes, with some ankle flex?
3. Are your elbows slightly out in a strong position, rather than tucked into your body or pointing directly out to the side?
4. Is your weight centered over the bottom bracket? This can be a little more difficult to tell in a picture, but when you hop back on your bike, bounce up and down in your Throne Position. Are you engaging both the front and rear suspension equally?
