5 bike skills everyone should learn 👇

Wheelie- better bike control, balance and confidence. Plus it’s a fun party piece

Bunny hop- get over potholes, kerbs, roots and obstacles without having to dismount

Track stannd- improve your balance and control, and never put a foot down at traffic lights again

Stoppie- learn how to control the front brake and shift your weight confidently… useful for emergency braking situations

Nose pivot 180- a great way to improve bike handling, weight distribution and tight-space manoeuvring

Watch me try and fail to follow @gethom94 💀

Best performance of the season so far for me on a course that suited me nicely… flat, twisty and punchy!

Sitting 2nd with just over 2 laps to go and a nice little gap to 3rd… BOOM. Front flat.!

No spare wheels, so I was preparing for a 10 minute jog to the finish. Thankfully Alex in 3rd came past shouting for me to grab his spare wheel from the pits.

Lost around 90 seconds with the run to pits and wheel change, but managed to carry on!

Thanks again to Alex for the wheel, everyone who raced and the organisers. One more local race, then it’s the first National Trophy round in Derby!

See below for details 👇🏼👇🏼

1). Cycle around your house for 15 minutes a day:
It teaches you to confidently navigate tight spaces and awkward corners, helping develop low-speed bike handling skills that are essential and highly transferable.

2). Mini bike threshold sessions twice a week:
The smaller frame forces you to become more comfortable with a compromised riding position, improving bike control and adaptability.

3). Push ups:
This one is obvious. At least 250 a day.

It’s bunny hop season… 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

PRELOAD
Get low. Bend your elbows and knees, keep your weight centred over the bike and stay relaxed… This is your starting position. Think of loading the bike up underneath you, ready to release that energy into the hop.

LIFT FRONT
Extend your arms and legs, jump off your toes and unweight the front wheel… Llet the bike come up underneath you rather than trying to yank the bars up. Keep your weight moving back slightly as the front wheel lifts.

REAR UP
Once the front wheel is up, shift your hips back, bend your knees and bring the bike up underneath you. This bit is easier with clips… Push the front wheel down towards the ground as you bring the rear up. This helps level the bike out and get ready to land on your front wheel.

The aim isn’t to jump as high as possible. It’s about learning to move your body and the bike as one.

Start small, practise on flat ground and build up gradually. Small logs are the perfect next step.
