Joy of Bike - Season 1

Alex Bogusky and Lee McCormack debunk the old idea of a static position and discuss the dynamic movement of the hinge, the foundation that all other mountain bike skills are built on. A powerful hinge builds confidence and is the basis for mountain bike skills like pumping, jumping and cornering. Afterwards, Alex helps Lee finally learning how to wheelie, bringing to bear everything Lee has learned about hacking our brains and our emotions to rewire and keep the MTB progression. The results and the insights should help anybody learning wheelies or really anything on a bike.
