Ben John-Hynes Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I think patience plays a big partBut i think the main thing is balance, as to balance on an uneven rockyou'd need increedible balance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Learn how to wheelswap/wheel replace whatever you wanna call it. Hopping through sections is usually really important.Balance on uneven/slippery ground/rock is really important too.Some comps lend themselves to streety style (man made sections) some to really tech slippery things (like logs and wet banks) and some are a bit of both (like big rock sections) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that finding grip is always hard, at first I just couldn't do it.Gaps to front are often used in comp style riding, something I still havn't managed to learn.

Peperami Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Easiest way to learn is to either book a comp and do white route so you can see what goes on, attend a few comps as a spectator, or just get out into the woods and see how hard natural is!Simple things like riding up a steep bank etc, when you're near the end of a section and have arm pump its things like this that will finish you off.
