Whether you’re a new or experienced trail rider, what are your feelings about riding up hills? If you feel like you still have more to learn, then seasoned off-road instructor Bret Tkacs has just the video to kick-start your hill strategizing process. It’s both a rethink of some advice you may have seen in the past, as well as a demonstration that it’s OK to make mistakes while you’re learning.
If you’re a street rider, you try so hard not to dump your bike. Things are different off-road, though. Off the tarmac, it’s pretty much a given that your bike is going to go down every once in a while—and usually more than just the one time. Most of the time, due to both the physical properties and the speeds involved, dirt is a lot more forgiving than asphalt when you have small tip-overs and/or bike drops.
