Vid - Cornering with Lars
S turns, berms, flat turns
Date: 2011-11-06
Every pro and instructor seems to take a different approach to cornering. Do you like Lars' perspective on the subject? Anything you would add or subtract? Do the math below.

I'm confused - what's up with posting content from 2010?

Thanks Lars. Nice to see some focus on 'pressure control', weighting and un-weighting the bike is so valuable in so many situations, especially corners.
Also nice to see some variety as no 2 corners are the same! There are always variations in how we approach & execute, etc.
A bit surprised Lars doesn't speak/use any hip rotation or mention any lateral bike movement. Maybe this is another segment?
Cam, let's cue up some freshies!

from what i've seen of his video work (fluidride, vid's for transition) talking is not lars' forte, but he's definitely getting better at it. i imagine it would be tough for most young pro's to put into words what is so intuitive for them and ingrained into their muscle memory

It's something we hadn't posted and I liked it so I slid it in there.
The newest content isn't always the best content.
Hope that clears up your confusion. We will continue to try keeping it as fresh as possible - unless something a little older becomes fresh again. Thanks for the feedback.
Indeed. Timing is good right now.
Slow learners often make the best teachers - and the most intuitive ironically - because every step has been challenging, and therefore ingrained. When you are a natural it's often difficult to convey what you are doing.

physics for proper cornering will never change.

Out of curiosity, do you use some of those techniques?

Great video. I remember it from last year. Lars is a Jedi. His videos would be top notch if he got a partner in there with him to help with the communication part. Still and regardless, great video and a solid contribution to the scene.
Boards of Canada - that was heavy. Liked it a lot.

One tip that has helped me on berms was to pretend I had an eyeball in my belly button and I should point that eye to where I wanted to end up.

I try but it's tough to teach an old dog new tricks... I'm sure Lars still uses them even though they're over a year old! The insanity !
