Riding Laps and Hitting Big Gaps – How Routines Can Help on Hard MTB Features! [RNL S1, Ep 58]

Learn a valuable MTB breathing and visualization routine to apply to your next mountain bike ride featuring intimidating jumps, drops rocks and gnarly trails.  Choose your riding partners carefully as group vibes matters when you're looking to take your mountain bike riding to the next level.

How much time do you need to get ready at the trailhead (Dan needs too much!?)  What makes mountain bike jumps different from traditional dirt jumps?  Dan and Sage discuss how to find your peaceful presence and use living in the moment to add confidence and stoke to all your mountain bike rides.  Boosting jumps adds control and steez in the air.  The human body is amazing as we discuss multi-day stage races, bulldog mentality, mega climbs, clipless pedals on dirt jumpers, flat pedals and more!
