Wheel Up
Wheelies aren't just for showing off. Learning to do a wheelie improves balance, bike handling skills, and confidence, while also providing practical benefits. Unweighting the front wheel makes it easier to lift over roots, rocks, and other features which in turn helps you ride more efficiently.

Lessons from the Pump Track
​Pump tracks are excellent for developing fundamental MTB skills, particularly those related to momentum and bike handling. Key skills include pumping (using body weight to generate and maintain speed), cornering (executing turns effectively and efficiently), and jumping (both small hops and bigger jumps as you progress). Additionally, pump tracks help improve bike-body separation, weighting and unweighting the bike, and maintaining speed while navigating rollers and berms.
