Feature Friday Today’s FF features a great Sweet

Feature Friday
Today’s FF features a great Sweet Riders participant who has come such a long way with her skills in the past couple of years. We are going to go over the skill known as a Roll Down. What is a Roll Down you ask? Well it is when you approach something on a trail and you are not sure if you can roll it by keeping your wheels on the ground or you need to launch it as a drop or jump because it is not rollable. It is a level 1 bicp skill. You approach in a slow walking speed, you are in Ready position and you take a quick Look. Here you commit or quit. If it is rollable you then Extend the Arms and Extend the Legs, if it is not rollable this is where you quit and dismount the bike. If you have commit and have extended both arms and legs the final step is to Return to Ready. Jan gives you two examples of a roll down. The first being an easier practice roll down then progressing it up onto the wood roll down with a berm as another consequence. Hope this helps and this will be the last Feature Friday of this season. Happy Friday Everyone! @janhoff1967 @ascentcycle @norcobicycles @united_riders_of_crowsnest @crowsnestcoffee @cognation_cyclery @southcanadianrockies @explorethepass @joiedesigns.ca @ottalausinc @wren_sports @shredly #mtbskills #mtbskillscoaching #mtbcoaching #mtblove #ridecrowsnest #bicp @icp.bike

What a great morning! Have been coaching this couple for a couple of years now. As Jan was saying today, when they first started with Sweet Riders they couldn’t do front or rear wheel lifts, and today we warmed up doing those👊 Then we worked on roll downs, manuals, and more! Then we took those skills to the trail🚲🙌. Such a pleasure working with you two and so proud of your progress over the last couple of years 🔥. Keep up the amazing work @janhoff1967 & Larry👍. @ascentcycle @norcobicycles @southcanadianrockies @explorethepass @wren_sports @cognation_cyclery @united_riders_of_crowsnest @crowsnestcoffee #mtb #mtbcoaching #mtbskills #mtblove @icp.bike #bicp #sweetriders #ridecrowsnest @shredly

Feature Friday Tips for building confidence to try

Feature Friday
Tips for building confidence to try new features. A couple of weeks ago I spotted a couple of features that I really wanted to try, but the fear factor kicked in as I hadn’t done them before and I usually rely on someone else towing me in to get an idea of speed. Here are some steps that helped me get in the right mindset to try them. #1. Walk the feature, or stand on it and ask your gut, “Is this in my skill set?” My answer was, “Yes”. #2. Question number 2, “Can I envision myself clearing this feature?” My answer was again, “Yes”. #3. Question number 3, “Do I need a run up or a speed check first before I try the feature?” Again, I decided “Yes”. So I did that. #4. Now this is where you decide to commit to trying the feature completely or quit the idea of doing it. At first honestly, I said in my head, no not today, then I asked myself, you just went through all the motions and you know you can do this so go and try it or you know you will regret it if you don’t. #5. Giving yourself the 3 strike rule. If you don’t succeed in three tries, then save it for another day. In this case, I made it on the first try and was so proud of myself. #6. If successful, tap yourself on the back for the great job you just did. Decide if you want to do it again to refine your technique and build your confidence. If you tried the and failed the three strike rule, also tap yourself on the back as you know you will be back to try it again sometime in the future and give yourself credit for at least trying something out of your usual comfort zone. Let us know your story or thoughts on this in the comments below, would love to hear your strategies…
