Essential tech to evolve your riding
By reading the terrain and imagining your own movements, you will have more room for movement.I asked a professional rider about the points of interest in order to make such a move to a new action with that margin.Even if you can't do exactly the same thing, you can get closer to the line you envisioned by tracing their thinking to your riding.
▶▶ Chapter 1: Selection of professional riders
Tadashi Fuse, Takaharu Nakai, Hiroshi Amami, Yuta Kobayashi, Keisuke Yoshida, Masaaki Nakao “Masai”. Based on one riding photo of each of the six riders, I asked them the points to choose a line.From what perspective and thought did you arrive at this cut?
▶▶ Chapter 2: Terrain & Line Strategy: Image Training
