Welcome To On-Bike Drills
When teaching clinics in person, we use these same drills to elevate the riding of our students. It's possible to make them challenging enough that riders forget they aren't even on a trail. Really, it's the drills we use for teaching that really create the fastest and most dramatic improvements in our riders. Create your own school. No trail needed!

Pre-Turns: Field Drill
The goal of this drill is to allow riders to corner faster and change the exit lines coming out of tight turns by starting the turn earlier with the use of a Pre-Turn.
Switchback Turns: Field Drill
Remember when setting this up that you are looking to create a turn that is too tight for the rear wheel to follow the path of the front wheel.
Advanced Jump Drill: Counter-Directional Steering
In this video watch as Simon covers setting up a counter-directional steering drill in a clear open area.
Partner Manual Field Drill
Watch this video as Simon shows you how to partner with a friend to learn where you balance point is for a manual.
Pre-Turns On Trail
Using pre-turns on trail can help open up tricky corners and enable you to find flow.
Knees Over Toes
Above I show a simple way to feel the compromised nature of our stance when we get too far back on the bike. Trying this simple drill often motivates my students to work to keep themselves in a healthy bipedal posture on the bike.
Braking Drill To Improve Modulation
Many people fear the power of the front brake on their bike. In reality the front brake is responsible for about 70% of our stopping power. I often say that even though it accounts for 70% of the power, we only need to squeeze it about 30% as hard as the rear brake, since the front wheel is in front of us.
