The focus of the world bicycle industry is shifting from traditional means of transportation to sports, mountains and leisure. In developed countries such as the United States, Europe and Japan, bicycles are commonly used in sports, fitness, leisure and entertainment. Let me share with you the skills of mountain bike cross-country training. Welcome to read and browse.
Path of road slope
65438+
2. Avoid accelerating on the path with downward slope on the road surface, and keep a certain speed to slide across the road surface before arriving; If you need a little more force to get through, please apply it gently and steadily.
Add all the weight of your body to the pedal below the inclined plane, and you will find that this technique is very effective for the wheels to stick to the road? It can work well even on similar terrain. All you have to do is stand on the pedal and slide until you pass.
4. Choose the middle route to avoid squeezing to the top of the inclined plane.
takeoff
1. Speed up? Riding easily is probably the fastest speed, and kinetic energy is your friend, because most people can't reach a big gap directly.
2. When approaching this gap, lean back, pull the handlebar and lift the front wheel to the top of the ladder.
3. Once the front wheel reaches the top of the notch, lean forward immediately, and then move the body weight to the top of the handlebar.
4. Without any power support, the forward kinetic energy will make the rear wheel roll to the top of the ladder; In any case, you may need to exert some force on the handlebar and lift the rear wheel with the front wheel as the axis to cross the last landing point.
Don't go back and step forward, as if you don't care at all. Your other half is dismounting at the front of the steps and crowding together in surprise.
Ride through a rocky area
1. Advance with kinetic energy and firm belief; At low speed, the up-and-down vibration caused by road surface and suspension system will consume a lot of kinetic energy; Therefore, if you hit a big stone at a speed similar to walking, you will not be able to move forward and stop; Keep a certain speed, steady your upper body, as if to run over these stones. Let's go.
2. Choose a good route in advance and stick to it, but don't imagine that you can pass through the rocky area smoothly; Choose the worst path. When you hit a stone, try to keep the wheel perpendicular to the stone and run it over!
3. Increase the stride by one gear (relative to the gear of the road before entering the rock area), so that the rear wheel can be prevented from slipping when encountering obstacles.
4. Be ready to be changed at any time, and take a good look at the stone front in front of the front wheel to avoid the front wheel being left aside. If it pops up suddenly and leaves the original route, you should stare at the original planned route and step on it as smoothly as possible so as to bounce back to the original planned route at any time.
5. If you want to pass through the rocky area on the downhill section, try to avoid using the brakes. The best way is to slide through the whole area; However, if the brakes must be used, the front and rear brakes should be used at the same time, and if the stones are relatively small and the control is relatively stable, the brakes must be released when encountering relatively large stones or running out of the planned route; Trying to pull the brakes and run over a stone is the root of all disasters.
6. Never give up; If the front wheel is stuck, try to keep pedaling, which will usually make the car back a little and give you a chance to choose the next route to continue riding. Don't look back and pretend it's easy.
Across a large furrow and rut
1. To establish a certain speed, you need enough kinetic energy to take the rear wheel through this gap.
2. Before reaching the gap, lean back, pull up the handlebar and lift the front wheel about two feet high.
3. Keep your body above the center of gravity of the car until it seems that the front wheel will shoot to the other side of the gap; Theoretically, the front wheel will land at the top (the other end) of the gap.
4. Tilt the body forward above the handlebar, so that the rear wheel is in weightlessness, and help the kinetic energy to carry the rear wheel upward over the gap.
Riding in the sand
Sand will deprive the legs of strength and disturb the handling of the car. Every step will make the rear wheels sink deeper and deeper. For some mountain bikers, sand is a part of their cycling life. Of course, wide tires with small tread lines provide great help, but even with narrow tires, a player-level knight can still cross a long section of sand, which of course depends on some luck and good technology.
1. The simplest skill is to follow the trajectory of other mountain bikers and let the tires ride into the rutted path that has been pressed into a straight line to cross the sand; When you keep the tire in the rut, step on it as smoothly as possible, gently hold the handlebar, let the whole control follow the rut track, remember to keep balance, and you will pass easily.
2. What if there are no rut marks? Then you need some rowing skills. Put your hips gently on the cushion, keep your body center of gravity between the two tires, look straight at the end of the sand, and move forward with a low gear, but use a middle front gear, so that you can pedal hard for a long time.
3. Every time you turn the pedal, keep it vertically downward, and make use of the pedaling dead point between powerful pedaling pulses to make your body bounce up, so as to help the tire to go up and reduce the unevenness on the sand.
4. Use body movements to avoid excessive steering of the handlebar, which will cause the front wheel to get stuck in the sand.
5. stick to it; Think of this as a game that transcends obstacles. Don't give up before you fall, and never let other knights ride farther than you in the sand.
Climb steep slope
There have been many articles about climbing steep slopes, but in fact, most people give up early to avoid a lot of painful expenses on their feet. Here's how to climb a steep slope.
1. When approaching the slope, use a small front fender and a rear gear that is two levels higher than the gear when you want to complete the slope; In the first stage of climbing, before the kinetic energy is exhausted, downshift earlier, and don't frustrate your attempt because you missed the shift.
2. Choose the way forward; Most steep slopes have grooves or ruts, which need to be crossed when going uphill; Once you plan the route up the mountain, you must stick to it.
3. Stay seated. Also, when you reach the steepest road, move your hips forward and sit at the front of the cushion. Lean forward with your upper body, let the front wheels grip the ground, and have proper control (don't lean forward too much, which will cause the rear wheels to slip). Don't stand up.
4. There will be some pain in the last stage, because sitting on the nose of the cushion will lead to overuse of the quadriceps femoris due to improper stretching; But stick to it and keep this posture, because pressing the nose of the seat cushion will give the rear wheel enough grip.
5. If the rear wheel slips, don't stop, just tilt the upper body slightly away from the slope, hold the rear wheel down, and then continue pedaling.
6. When reaching the top, most climbers lean forward, causing the rear wheels to slip when crossing the top edge; At the top of the slope, just lean back slightly and keep the rear wheel biting the ground at the last stage, and you will become a hero.
Landing (single jump landing)
Brave cyclists will ride the next section at the speed of walking; Most mountain bikers will dismount and walk down this gap to avoid possible loss of control; In the rocky areas with fierce forest roads, a drop of two or three feet is common. To deal with this landing, there are not many requirements, what is needed is speed and practical exercise.
1. Get your hips off the cushion and ride over the gap at running speed. If the landing site is safe, you can speed up a little; When you reach the edge of the downhill slope, lean back slightly, pull up the handle and lift the front wheel about six inches off the ground.
2. Keep your body above the center of the car, keep your knees bent, and the pedals are parallel to the ground to cushion the impact when landing; In this way, the road will be smooth and smooth.
3. With this skill, you can cope with a drop of about three feet; Before applying it to the wild, take some time to practice this feeling by using the nearby well site or in the scenic spots in the suburbs.
get into trouble
Downhill usually leaves deep grooves or ruts. It is best to ride to the side carefully and avoid riding into the furrow, but many times, we have no choice.
1. Before trying the big groove, if there is an opportunity, you can practice by deliberately riding into the smaller parallel groove rut; This is very important, because you must get used to the sense of balance when the car enters this strange place.
2. Try to stretch out a foot before running through a large rut. If the curve of furrow is on your right, stick out your right foot, and vice versa. Keep your posture, lean back slightly, and use the rear brake more than usual. If you use the front brake too much, you will not be able to turn in the chaotic rut.
3. Keep the front wheels rolling, and avoid the furrow rut in front at first; Focus on the front, relax your body, and allow the wheels to move sideways when they suddenly enter the furrow rut.
If you lose your balance, don't forget to click with your outstretched foot. As long as you keep one foot on the pedal, you can safely cross the bumpy road.
Slow hairpin bend
It requires a very rigorous method to forward the pinch bend on the monorail track; This kind of turning is not easy for bicycles, because most typical hairpin bends have rocks exposed at the tip. There are two ways to ride a hairpin bend. One is to use the front brake and lift the rear wheel with the front wheel as the axis. The other is to simply ride over; The latter method will be introduced here.
1. approach the curve at walking speed, ride on the outside of the road as far as possible, use the front and rear brakes evenly, and avoid sideslip under any circumstances.
2. When it is the front turn to reach the top of the inner curve, make a big arc turn immediately, and the front wheel almost cuts to the inner edge of the curve. The key is to have the largest curve before entering the second part of the curve.
