Product Description
Product Description
As the most popular mountain biking centre in the UK, Glentress has a massive reputation. Now from the pros behind it - former World Cup riders. Emma Guy and Tracy Brunger - comes the guide to gaining the essential skills you need to get the most out of your mountain bike.Based on the back-to-basics philosophy that has got Emma and Tracy to the top of the mountain biking game and has become the Glentress mantra in their acclaimed skills courses, this volume contains everything you need to know if you're starting out and everything you thought you knew (but probably didn't) if you're an old hand - from the nuts and bolts of pre-ride checks and trailside repairs to perfecting weight shift, effective gearing and cone of movement, then moving up a gear to climbing, downhill, jumps, rolls and cornering.Presented in five easy chapters with loads of great photography, this is the only guide you need to start you off looking and riding like a pro.

Format:Paperback
I think this is a great little manual of the basic techniques for mountain biking. Ideal to have around to dip into as a reminder. The best thing about it is the emphasis on the practical and keeping it simple. It gives you just enough on the technique for you to then go out and practice.

This book is brilliant. All esential MTB skills are clearly outlined with some great actions shots that demonstrate each lesson. The development from basic core skills and positioning to more advanced skills like jumps and drop-offs means you learn at a great pace. I can't rate this book highly enough!

Excellent rucksack friendly book that covers everything you need to know to hit the trails confidently
14 July 2009
Format:Paperback
Trying to pull wheelies with your arms?
Continually crashing into fences/trees on the trail?
Skidding fruitlessly (and dangerously) around corners?
I was the same..
This book teaches you to change the way you ride... for the best. The book teaches you how to ride from the ground up giving you plenty of information on the bike and the setup you need before you even get a leg over the bike (this part is really well described and massively improved my setup). And once you're on the bike it covers everything you need to know in a step by step basis with (really cool) colour images showing you exactly what you should be doing and when. It covers the how-to excellently and explains the rationale behind the skills in a logical manner that really helps you to dispel those bad habits. Covering a large range of skills from newb to pro (linking and developing skills as it goes) this book really helps you to progress as a rider.
Worth noting is that the book is very durable (has even survived being caught in the rain)!! So if you want a book that you can easily carry with you and pop out when you need it this is an awesome book that I definately recommend!
