A good book
Hi,
Anyone recomend a good book/DVD/FAQ with techniques for mountainbiking? I'm starting to ride more and more difficult single trails and would like to improve control and technique especially over obstacles. Cheers Rich |

Re: A good book
It's mostly focussed on DH and 4X racing, but I've got one from 4130 Publishing called Mountain Bike Fundamentals. I've found it to be quite useful as I have more trouble with the techy downhll bits on my local circuit. It has a good section on suspension setup too. Put some fresh batteries in your remote as you'll be using the slo-mo a lot. The MC runs dirtmag.co.uk. Has a selection of elite level Aussie, Saffer, Pom and Yank riders demonstrating the various moves and techniques.
Zinn's Cycling Primer (book) also has some useful tips and tricks, including a good section on technical climbing that balances out the obvious gap in the above DVD. |

Re: A good book
My faves:
Mastering the Art of Trials w/ Ryan Leech - Trials oriented but highly applicable to other MTB diciples. Fundamentals Mountain Bike DVD - Downhill oriented but still pretty good. |
